Analog Man

[Verse]

Posts humorous, the souls posthumous, they've gotten us

Lovin' what we ought not to trust, l've forgotten stuff

That used to be the tenets of my grind, rent's gotten up

A lot's not enough, the crockpot of justice cookin' slow

It's a show, it's a circus, we livin' in the con tent

Take our information, we ain't really givin' consent

Take our information like we tryna keep in touch

Out of touch is what we all get, 'nother empty pawn sent

To do the work of false royalty

I'm tryna be somewhere on a beach livin' off royalties

I'd rather be off-brand than be off loyalty

Can I rest in the sand and work where the soil be?

Am I more than a plot that just needs foiling?

Immaculate conceptions, below-average retentions

Screamin' into voids in hopes that someone gets it

Despair is everywhere, but hope can't get arrested, damn

I used to think I might be the chosen one

Now I'm just grateful for the growth I done

Feel like they think my mental health woes is overdone

Without the right support, I'd be over, done

So if you held up one of my limbs, then I owe you one, yeah

But that type of guilt would leave me bodiless

So I mix the gratitude with New York City confidence

While we keep dichotomizin' optionless and opulence

I'll burn with the people on the ground 'fore I take my place on the rocket ship

Your favorite would be snuggled up next to Elon and shit

Leavin' you for dead in the cockpit makin' TikToks of shit

But y'all love that toxic shit

[Pre-Chorus]

Call it how I see it

How I see it isn't how they want it known

[Chorus]

I guess it's shame on me, I put the blame on me

'Cause ain't nobody else here can hear what they don't see

Who wan' jump out the window? What you say, on three?

'Cause I'll die tryna fly before I'm not what I came to be

I'm just an analog man in a digital world

I'm just an analog man in a digital world

And if they throw away what I got to say, at least I littered them pearls

Still could fight with my hands in this digital world

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

In a digital world

Just an analog man

In a digital world

In a digital world

[Chorus]

I guess it's shame on me, I put the blame on me

'Cause ain't nobody else here can hear what they don't see

Who wan' jump out the window? What you say, on three?

'Cause I'll die tryna fly before I'm not what I came to be

I'm just an analog man in a digital world

I'm just an analog man in a digital world

And if they throw away what I got to say, at least I littered them pearls

Still could fight with my hands in this digital world

[Outro]

Still could fight with my hands

I'm an analog man
