From the recording Pressure Makes Purpose
Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
Wake up wheres the phone cuz that’s the daily ritual,
Eyes still heavy but the scroll feel spiritual,
No prayer no stretch no light from the sun,
Just dopamine drip from the likes that will come,
Mind ain’t ready but the feed is already runnin,
Before I even breathe I’m watchin someone else stuntin,
Perfect life perfect skin perfect vacay,
I’m still in bed wit bad breath trapped in yesterday,
It’s not entertainment it’s a loop I can’t quit,
They sellin validation and I’m buyin every bit,
Swipe, compare, click, despair,
They gottin all my attention And they don’t even care.
(HOOK)
On a Late night scrollin thumbin flickin through the feed,
I see Familiar faces but it’s none that I need,
I’m lost in the noise To the same old schemes,
Chasin smoke and mirrors And tryin to achieve dreams,
On a Late night scrollin thumbin flickin through the feed,
I see Familiar faces but it’s none that I need,
I’m lost in the noise To the same old schemes,
Chasin smoke and mirrors And tryin to achieve dreams,
(VERSE 2)
Yappin and forgetting that silence could teach,
Now I second guess goals That I used to try to reach,
Every swipe is a leash every click is a chain,
Designed by minds that like to profit off pain,
We scroll like it’s choice but it’s well designed,
To steal my joy and peace and colonize the mind,
They built it like a drug just legal and slick,
Where the dealer is data and the high comes quick,
They don’t want thinkers homie they want users and clicks,
Keep you numb keep you broke feed you dopamine tricks,
I’ve seen dreams dissolve in the comment smoke,
Whole lives edited down to a meme or a joke,
(HOOK)
On a Late night scrollin thumbin flickin through the feed,
I see Familiar faces but it’s none that I need,
I’m lost in the noise To the same old schemes,
Chasin smoke and mirrors And tryin to achieve dreams,
On a Late night scrollin thumbin flickin through the feed,
I see Familiar faces but it’s none that I need,
I’m lost in the noise To the same old schemes,
Chasin smoke and mirrors And tryin to achieve dreams,
