The Internet Lied

[Verse 1] Nowadays, rappers like to front like they so hard You ain't no holds barred, you just no bars But I ain't here to talk about no rappin’, man that’s played out Underhanded comments, I don’t go the Willie Mays route Stay out you fears, man I got too much to say now Companies tryna buddy me for money, ain’t your pay-pal, nah See music bout to feed me, but it kept me breathin’ Kept me believin’ when I ain’t have nothin’ to believe in Now I listen to the river and I stare out at the foliage On my Axel Foley shit, breakin’ all the rules While servin’ all these bad guys like a waiter up at Trump Towers Young cowards inhale all the smog ‘til they lungs shatter from the smoke blown by the ones with the most power Sit and watch how the net work like my own router Everyone got voices they ain’t earned and it’s dangerous All terms are lame and shit, so how do I explain this shit? [Chorus] The Internet lied to us But shouts to Soundcloud where you play this song Said the Internet lied to us So share this on Facebook when you get home Tell ‘em ‘bout me on the Gram, I ain’t got no other plan We at war on her land, and she got the upper hand How we gon’ see our reflection in this murky water? Said how we gon’ see our reflection? [Verse 2] Nowadays, I sleep less, cause I’m up hittin’ refresh We exposed to more than before yet we see less And I ain’t even know if it’s bad as it can be yet Kids buried in a screen and they ain’t even got all their teeth yet Food for thought slidin’ down the gullet, they can’t chew it right Sure to choke ‘em if they don’t use it right They ain’t usin’ sight to guide, but wait up, gimme a second, my phone buzzin’ man I got notifications think I got myself another fan Where was I? Oh yeah, distractions gettin’ heavy We opened up the floodgates but we ain’t worked on the levee So I’m in the heart of the storm tryin’ to explain what rain is Forced to engage with anyone with whom I’ve made acquaintance I try my best to be good, I ain’t say that I was patient Pennin’ statements algorithms cannot tell me what their fate is Days when I’m not sure quite how to explain it So let me just say this, I’ll put it in layman’s [Chorus] The Internet lied to us But shouts to Soundcloud where you play this song Said the Internet lied to us So share this on Facebook when you get home Tell ‘em ‘bout me on the Gram, I ain’t got no other plan We at war on her land, and she got the upper hand How we gon’ see our reflection in this murky water? Said how we gon’ see our reflection?
