-- Social Media Digital Heroine
By: Professor Griff
VERSE ONE: GRIFF
This Digital Brain drain
it hits yo subclavian main vein
for the Quick fix, gET RICH quick scheme
That got you….insane
Memes hit the track, less than you check facts man
Emojis that accentuate the lies in your main frame
Let these bars reflect it, the self disRespected
These Twiddyitz wit140 characters disConnected
Complex URLS and figures can't spell checked it
talk to text, verbal skills auto corrected this.
VERSE TWO : Solé
Sick, twisted, narcissistic, hubristic
interjecting your venom while playing evangelistic, models and mystics
living unrealistic, selfies and disconnection equating to mental sickness
Disjointed ramblings and musings you on some bitch shit, unwanted mentions, opinions, why would you risk it? You have no discipline so you cannot resist it... you ending up on that hit list cuz Karma she never missed it
Idle chatter and lipstick, materialistic and postings for you wanna be rich cliques
with value in the wrong shit
A drop squad at ya do' for all you demons in the gossip for likes clique
You powerless, No independent thought so you drifted .. hypnotic rhythm, strangers opinions got you addicted.... leads habits of ignorance breeds cognitive dissonance, social media digital heroin in remembrance
Chorus/Hook
Damn, Soc Med
Shaking my damn head, shaking my damn head
Damn, Soc Med
Shaking my damn head, shaking my damn head
Social media digital heroine
