Текст песни Screens - Joell Ortiz

Kids, man, they just ain't the way they used to be
When we was comin' up man
These little motherfuckers don't even wanna go outside
They stay in they house!
I don't give a fuck how broke you are
You could be on food stamps
You got a Sega Genesis at the house
(Justice League, Justice League, Justice League...)
You got crazy out here, man

My son come home from school
Take every article of clothin' off
He has no intentions of goin' outside (Huhu)
Man, damn screens
Kids don't come upstairs with grass stains on they jeans
No playin' tag at night, no more sun down freeze
No more fallin' off they bike, peroxide on knees
Geez, I ain't seen a double dutch in years
What happened to skelly? No more tops, hitting squares
I used to front flip off of the fence
Back flip off the swing
Somebody dared, you had to do it to be playground king

Walked across monkey bars, rubber mats so far
Somethin' crazy drove by, screamed "That's my car!"
Threw rocks upon the roof, they couldn't match my arm
And man hunt lasted long, we couldn't catch Tyquan, shit
Red-quarter water action man to have a sip
Packin' our laters and a quarter bag of chips
Never would I ever thought a game of catch and kiss would be
Somethin' that these kids would have to miss
Imagine this

Phone screen, tablet screen, computer screen
80 inch TV screen, I never seen
So many ways to look away from the world
These screens raisin' your sons
Babysittin' your girls
So many screens
Everyone say hi, you're on a screen

Uh, I used to wanna go out in the rain
Moms would say no so I complaint near the windowpane
She always gave into that look in my face
Those days I got chased, cops and robbers in the staircase
Where they at? In the front or the back?
It was quiet, and then "Pat" 'til you run out of caps
Every basketball court in the summer was packed
Every winter was tackle football, don't fumble to snap

Now every time I look another app, man, what's up with that?
It's like every single day involves a double tap
Used to beg moms "Can my boys have some fun with me?"
Off the top rope was the dresser WWE
Now my son wear headsets runnin' through the trees
Playin' Call Of Duty, guess that's what they callin' Company
Was no anywhere, couldn't front on my team
These kids don't go anyway man, they infront of them screens

Phone screen, tablet screen, computer screen
80 inch TV screen, I never seen
So many ways to look away from the world
These screens raisin' your sons
Babysittin' your girls
So many screens
Everyone say hi, you're on a screen

Phone screen, tablet screen, computer screen
80 inch TV screen, I never seen
So many ways to look away from the world
These screens raisin' your sons
Babysittin' your girls
So many screens
Everyone say hi, you're on a screen
