[Verse 1]
[MMYYKK]
Who can I trust in a world with deep fakes
In a world Where a black man moving up is somethin’ like playing sweepstakes
But lord knows I know sometimes a nigga need an escape
‘cause time rolls on while you busy jacking on
And popular discourse is populated with pawns
On god
I ain’t sweatin’ yo chain nigga
‘cause it takes work to sweat
And work to make change
And I got more than money to make
So you can go head and keep that white noise behind your face
‘cause what you sayin’ to me
Ain’t gon’ get us free
And I ain’t got time to waste (uh he said)
[Hook]
Look at all the likes on my pics
For what?
You heard what they said about this?
For what?
Look at all the ice on my wrist
For what?
Mind on twist sippin’ Actavis
For what?
You ain’t worried bout what you might miss?
For what?
What about the ops niggas tryin’ to diss!
For what?
Wild out Nigga ignorance is bliss
For what? X2
[Verse 2]
[Ricki Monique ]
Took a page and twisted
To a dark future
Idolized to death
We was hoping for a feature
Brambles and birdsongs
I’m the neighborhood creature
They watch like gold bound
I grew talents in my leisure
Ignant
God's children
Bore witness to my birth
Before me glistening in dirt
Brought me to the shore
So I could frolic on this verse
The concept is complex
I’m barely getting to the surface
Niggas got big dreams
Niggas be underground living
With a different inspiration
Till they get mainstreamed
Then we all blame the artists
Not the industry
Say the people movin’ forward
But its been this way (been this way)
Try to write hits but don’t (heal my pain)
Then they want me public with a (smile on my face)
This ain’t what I signed up for
I broke my back just to stand this tall
I got vision
All these dreams for my tribe
No more industry for my guys
Probably stretch the defeat and trauma out my thighs
This is when the beat of the drum become my guides (be my guide)
[Bridge]
[MMYYKK]
Please help me clear my mind out
I wish I could reclaim my time (where has the love gone?)
Was it real or simulated?
Was that a bot I just debated? (I don’t even know no more)
Guess it’s all in the game
Watching us go insane
But I still..
[Chorus] x2
