Like We

Blessed B and Dan-e-o
Ah so di ting go
Okay, okay
I'm instantly interested in every
inkling of your existence, no I'm not
But Instagram gives you that impression and so you show a lot
Of pics and vids, some intimate, some ignorant
And most are not legitimate but if it
may boost your rep, you'll consider it
Worthy of postin', it's dirty you're boastin'
You make more money than most men through
cash you like to hold up like a clothespin
I need ibuprofen, sick at how you got your confidence
Your lies get you likes, I see through 'em with no optometrist
Honestly, I'm astonished with how, let's say Twitter
Makes today's critters think there's
a chance they can fuckin' play with us
Back in the day spitters, I'm reppin' for all of us
Who laid the foundation but just haven't amassed the followers
Pride swallowers watching this new era of artist
Tearing apart this culture we care in our heart as scarily lost when
They got no flow but have figured out an algorithm
To make 'em more famous than that photo of Malcolm thinking
Dem nuh bad like we, like we
Dem nuh tough like we, like we

Dem nuh tough like we, like we
Dem nuh rough like we, like we

Don't, don't, "Don't Believe The Hype" said by Flavor Flav in '88
A statement made that laid to waste the media like paper plates
They got served, decades later the pot's stirred they got replaced
Socially, for kids, a Book is somethin' they don't want to Face
Ironically, they educate themselves via perspectives
Of strangers based on the various posts that they've selected
To like and comment on, so faster than Ramadan
Kids dress up to be frauds a lot like
they're constantly going to Comic-Con
Who'd guess they'd give up real girls and dudes for bots?
Live shows traded for live feeds with no food for thought
Live streams with no flows, no pros to hire and go see
Hands in the air and screaming "ho" swapped for fire emojis
I'm dying here slowly, I find that I'm lonely
'Cause why don't my posts see a
hundred likes? Yo it's like nobody knows me
I don't get Tik-ed, real Tok, I let embarrassment bounce
And use the sky, I don't set limits by character counts
