How did we grow to be so materialistic?
Type-a, type-a thing that makes you wonder for your wish list
Type-a, type-a thing that makes you wonder what a gift is
Because a love you doesn’t go as far without a gift for Christmas
Man, and we trapped in this building, serving corporations wasting half of they millions
Like they phones and they apps for us minions
Like, “life go quick”, when our dopamine quicker
Staring at a screen as the day and night flicker
I ‘been trynna drop my phone but you’d end up bored at home cause nobody trynna meet up and nobody trynna talk witcha
Quarantining always been so popular, it’s only a problem when they realize they don’t have a choicе
You gotta go through so much effort just to have a choice
Wе got a dumbbell on our foot, only the strongest can remove the weight and wait, no problem
Everybody escape they life and wait for solving
If it ain’t a phone, it’s drifting us apart
I wish we could appreciate and value time
We got too complacent, taking things for granted
We trynna find so much happiness in the fabricated
Focus on what we forget and not the fundamentals
I bet you a millie, the whole scroll you can’t even remember
And when the cycle’s repeating, you missed your whole December
What a time to be alive, when the stakes are low and the bars are high so I can see your face on the facetime
And when I see you in real life you ain’t the same guy, yeah
Don’t be too surprised though, you ain’t seen him in a year and all your plans declined so he was living in your head the way he really tried to
It was only a matter of time before you figured the truth
It’s a crazy amount of kids that rather be on someone’s bizz
Rather figure out they truth and what’s their reason to exist
Watching everybody live they best life from yo bed
Now you’re all grown up and you’re all worried ’bout the bread
All because you couldn’t put a damn phone down to rest
All because you were too caught up just in case you got a text
All because you got a notif with a notice with no importance
Just remember you’re the map when you don’t know where you be going (Uh)
