[Verse 1: Akryllik]
What ever happened to kickin' back and relaxin' like old days?
This whole age's frickin' minds are stuck on their home page
And all hell makes loose the minute a phone breaks
Cuz people can no longer navigate with their own brains..
Subtract the social media and there's no base
There's no more personality, no vigor, and no traits
We're so hung up on building this mirage
That we don't face reality
And gradually, depravity holds reigns
Like tunnel vision, we lose sight of what matters the most
And rather than visit, you playin' stag n' you tag 'em in posts
We lost connection, life is laggin', you draggin ya' toes
Technology has come so far, humanity's back in the stones
It's time to disengage (break free)
I know this isn't fate (save me)
We gotta make a change, I'm tellin' you why
This ain't reality, they sellin' you lies...
[Chorus]
Social network empire..
"Where these goons lurk screened in typin' your name"
Please don't let it draw you in there..
"It's loose dirt, no hope life can sustain"
In this social network empire..
"I know your scared n' you feel life's joggin' in place"
It's a long way down..
"But it's this trojan we call 'connection' that's boggin' your pace.."
[Verse 2: ACE]
As I flip through these pages, I struggle to embrace it
The sagas show communication, face to face and true relations
Somethin' I would f**in' k** for right now
Cuz damn your too evasive
I've been through this anguish alone while you stray into the matrix
I'm too invasive? To look you in the eye when we speak
So you keep denyin' me presence do it faceless?
I can't look at a screen and express what I'm feelin'
I need you to feel me and understand, I'm on the move to save us!
This age is k**ing me.. Why?
Cause your too wired from typin' some fake feelings
That when together you're visibly overloaded and growin anxious like you ain't got sh** to sayand acting as if hell in prison
Shaking physically.. miserably
You're posting status for attention you feel is lackin'
Cuz when in person you can't react with emoticons and "brb"s.. Sulking in this misery, I hope you catch the hint
And look and notice what you've become
And stand to say "No, this isn't me..."
[Chorus]
Social network empire..
"Where these goons lurk screened in typin' your name"
Please don't let it draw you in there..
"It's loose dirt, no hope life can sustain"
In this social network empire..
"I know your scared n' you feel life's joggin' in place"
It's a long way down..
"But it's this trojan we call 'connection' that's boggin' your pace.."
