Composercleo - Social Medication

I know that I need it
And you think that I don't
Social media is all I know
And I don't know why I try so hard
Because I can only scroll so far
Hopefully someone's looking out for me in the end... I guess

It's that Social Medication
Not on the same page
In this day and age
Just change the station
Soon bringing devastation
To the nation and others
Pulling apart lovers
For instant connection with others
And for the last time
With a new past time
The future's if I grab your phone
Will you please grab mine
Got no spine
Do whatever it takes to climb
Up the clout vine
Do something risky and you may the skip line
But you're still lacking social skills
On the same media it's cool to pop pills
And its cool to feel thrills
And it's all likes and no ew's
But if we don't like you then ew
I get it my way or the highway
Ain't equal but thats the deal
And once you signed up
Your times up
And the contribution
Ain't appreciated cause happy or not
You're lined up
I'm still tryna do something more with my life
Than scrolling down and screwing up
Yeah there's two of us
One side of me
Wants to understand the others had enough
I used to keep my silence now I'm wilin' out
That Shai Labeouf
Go ahead begin a revolution
With different constitutions
You'll never move together
If your brain's diluted

It's that Social Medication
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
Living life through someone else's eyes
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
Living life through someone else's eyes

This realization really formed
When I was young
Cause they ain't ever tell me I learned from burning my tongue
Like man it really stung
But soon the pain would be done
But the feeling didn't fade
It lingered yeah it hung
Around like it was after math class
Wasn't focused on the digi dash
We had to learn analog but now that's in the past
So focused on for the good
That they do it fast
And they do it bad

Woke and exposed?
You really trapped and enclosed
You only see what they show
To you and people you know
But if the people don't know
Then you never gon grow
Yeah life can be a jet-ski but sometimes we gotta row
If you got people who don't
You in the boat alone
How you guys together when everyone's on their phone
"Escaping moment"
Makes sense don't it?
I can't condone it
Gotta disown
Who allowed it
Soon be shouting
I used to be proud and
Lately been feeling let down
With all this animosity just floating around
It's only important if the people want it to be
Like net neutrality? People would still support these companies it's crazy

It's that Social Medication
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
Living life through someone else's eyes
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
That Social Medication
Living life through someone else's eyes

But it's the switch up
Yeah
Do you see the picture
You know it's the switch up

To quit gettin' high
In the bud you better nip it
Forming pictures with my words
That are extremely vivid
Temptation never given
Like to get but hate giving
What kind of life you living?
What kind of wife ain't tripping
You got an addiction that you ain't fixing
You need the attention
Of a bunch of niggas that you don't know
So you can boost your ego for a week or so
Flexin' in your insta post
Say you're feeding your mind
But really are you eating though?

(That was childish)

You need a good habit
Keep it in your routine
Like carbs and protein
Like you gotta have it
Ain't gotta snap it
Then go from story to story
See edited pics and fake flicks
Get fooled by the tricks you silly rabbit
See through it's clear coated
By all means is to be devoted
It starts with more than retweeting "I voted"
Anything you do you gotta do like you own it
Otherwise you're not serious you just act like you want it
You don't want it

It's that Social Medication
It's that Social Medication
It's that Social Medication
That Social Medication
Living life through someone else's eyes
