lyrics

All I see's online crocodile tears
I call 'em Insta Gators
Ain't got too many Insta fans
But ma status's gain me some instant haters
Don't get offended at wordplay and act like, I must mean what I say
100 percent of the time
Like that guy's mean when he sprays

You're feeble and strange your weeslin ways n'
Eager displays of, online rage
Gettin' bent out of shape, on your online status
Act like that's all stunning and brave and dangerous
Stunning and brave and courageous
Everybody's scared of corona, but last week
Border controls were racist
Now I can't find many safe spaces

Everybody wants what's best but u need to admit when it's too simplistic
Everybody wants what's best, except those thrivin' on literally bitchin
Tryna seem better than you, when
In truth they don't care about you
They just care 'bout them
Care how they look to their friends, pre-tendin
I cant see through you (Look)

Always in line with the next hype, next fad
All the same time, that's how you check that
Bullshit's, not really right, I can bet that
shit's on the news all night
I bet that, shit's on the news all week
Get conned when the cycle re-peats
All lies, you can tell 'cause they don't ever cover real crimes
when dividin' and conquer the weak

look, yo, corrupt politicians
Corrupting your vision, til you're literally missin'
Your brain's been abducted, you're trained to be trustin'
Of those that are literally fuckin' the system
Those with a plan, man it's incremental
Trust man they wanna all drive us mental
They wanna try sell more prescriptions
Have us all dumbed down, lost in addiction

All I see's online crocodile tears
I call 'em Insta Gators
Ain't got too many Insta fans
But ma status's gain me some instant haters
Don't get offended at wordplay and act like, I must mean what I say
100 percent of the time
Like that guy's mean when he sprays
