R-Type - Selfie Scheme

She don't like the issues in her life
But she don't mind the miss yous and the likes
The kisses and the hype. She's just misusing her IG
Social media lifestream
Gauges her worth by followers of her network
Numbers dip, she turns on the high-beam
Putting in the leg work, watching guy’s heads jerk
But then it gets worse
So distressed if she doesn’t get likes every minute
Recognised as an image of the perfect female
So she diets to her limits
A social life dies every minute
Please spare 2 likes to save an exhibit
If you follow back, then you’re raising a spirit
There’s more to the lust that you place in an image
Social does, what social do
And what it does, depends on you
Open up, be vocal too
But listen up, when you’re spoken to
What is this?
When did self esteem bow down to public image?
We need a selfie scheme that involves more than pictures
We still selling dreams in exchange for these gimmicks
What is this?
Pump up, tone up, weights in the gym
Throw them assignment papes in the bin
Won't eat, no sleep, still so thin
Smoking a Shisha, standard procedures
Mandem thinking the gram is a feature
Believing their subscribe count is a meter
Still nowhere to be found at a meet up
The meaning to fixing up is look sharp, not be decent
Social media beefing
Rage on the net distributes to the road
He claims he’s a threat but didn’t listen to reason
Shame now we make this tribute for a soul
Disillusion takes a toll
You pay the price on the ticket
“You’ll be alright; leave it alone?!!”
You think it’s fine, but it isn’t
A social life dies every minute
Please spare 2 likes to save an exhibit
If you follow back, then you’re raising a spirit
There’s more to the lust that you place in an image
Social does, what social do
And what it does, depends on you
Open up, be vocal too
But listen up, when you’re spoken to
What is this?
When did self esteem bow down to public image?
We need a selfie scheme that involves more than pictures
We still selling dreams in exchange for these gimmicks
What is this?
What is this?
Cover the failures
Publish winning
Living it major?
Who are you kidding?
What is this?
When did self esteem bow down to public image?
We need a selfie scheme that involves more than pictures
We still selling dreams in exchange for these gimmicks
What is this?
