SMOMBIE

Intro: You’re addicted, this is what’s happening, it’s a chemical reaction…you need more of it, neural pathways are being created in the brain you want more

Verse 1: I don't think I'm able to leave it alone/ I really don't need it believe me I know/ but I keep fiending and fiending for more/
Feels like a demon is stealing my soul/ pray for the day that I'm seeing it go/ but I keep feeding it seeing it grow/ every time I use it its leaving me low/ cause I get weaker the deeper I go/
I've been abusing it man I admit it/ cause I gotta use it every damn five minutes/ I'ma keep it real cause Seff is never synthetic/
Every time I use it I'm always feeling pathetic/
Then I just regret it/ then I get a headache/ like I do I need a medic?/ is anyone sympathetic?/ yall get on my nerves cause you don’t give me my credit/ even though I'm hurt I'm acting like I don't sweat it

Chorus 1: Addiction is a global epidemic. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, food or even shopping. Addiction can destroy careers, families, even individuals

Verse 2: I was told this would boost my career/ and it did but now I’m severely addicted plus losing interest in things I love which brings me to tears/
This drug fills me with fears/ I’ve been stuck on this shit for years/ it appears that all of my peers are also addicted symptoms are clear/ my mind stays feeling scared/ its like I’m hyper aware/ when I sleep the nightmares appear/ cause I got bad luck like I’m breaking mirrors/ I’ve been feeling low with no ambition/ I’ve been all alone in this position/ I’ve been hopeless like my soul is missing/ I just wrote this hoping yall could listen/ this is not no opioid addiction/ this does not require no prescription/ this does not rely on no syringes/ mind control, thats why I’m so defenseless/ I can't focus I’m just sorta restless/ I just know the hi’s and low’s are endless/ I feel like my mind is so obsessive/ why do I feel like I’m just so helpless?/

Chorus 2: For every like or share or engagement or any comment, or any type of interaction that you get, dopamine is pumped around the brain…you feel good, instant gratification you got some engagement

Verse 3: I want instant gratification/ my iPhone’s packed with applications/ I just think I’m lacking patience cause this phone I’m holding has me anxious/ I use it for navigation/ I use it for masturbation/ I use it for mad durations/ the fact is it ruined my past relations/ I can't go on a damn vacation without having to tag a damn location/ I wish life was back to basics and I just wish I was half as anxious/ am I a mess?/ demons in my brain I suppress/ people seem to say I’m depressed cause my DNA is now iOS/ I’m nauseous, I think I might vomit/ I’m feeling like garbage/ I need some likes an comments, I’m honest, I really did try to stop this/ caution, I think I lost my conscious/ why do I feel like my thoughts are toxic?/ I’m exhausted, I’ma take this phone out my pocket and toss it!

Chorus 3: If you think, that you spend too much time on your smartphone, you can make a positive choice to not look down, and you can choose to look up today. And the time, the time that we spend in our virtual homes, is at the expense of interaction in our real homes, in the real world. You might’ve called me a SMOMBIE, that’s a smartphone zombie
