[Adam WarRock - How You Die On The Internet lyrics]
Ladies and Gentlemen
Welcome to the show that never stops!
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 a year
Yuh this is: "How You Might
Die on the Internet"
I'd like to bring in my good friend
He goes by the name of:
Schaffer the Darklord!
This is how you die on the Internet
Where your irrelevance is the death
Sentence that you get
When the short attentions' set
Get so restless they grow malevolent
You end up resenting your
Own friends' success, Yes!
Technology has brought us greater access
To the artists we admire
But with it bratty attitudes and ire
Of a commenter culture of
Vultures rife with entitlement
Who have to badmouth our products instead
Of simply not buying it!
So when our buzz is in trouble we struggle
Double our hustle
As some of the muggles who built us up
Chuckle at our struggle
They will love us for one song
But then hate us for others
And complain if our t-shirts aren't
Made in their favorite colors
But we keep going
And don't let it get to our fears
I should know
I haven't put out a new record in years
See, I was once beloved
But my fans have grown a might needy
Since some Memphis kid showed up
Dropping free EPs like weekly!
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When they yawn at every new
Song and new vlog post
And when your name is no
Better than compost so, You know
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When the buzz is no more
And you keep holding on
And you still make your dumb rap songs
So come on
This is how you dIE
Yes I, started as nothing
It's harder because it's
Harder to start liking somethin'
Cause people gonna harbor some dumb shit
Some resentment for successes that I've had
Meanwhile they'll keep hating
Typing on their keypads
And you're struggling to remain relevant
People they're telling him
"That nerdy rap pop-culture shit
Is washed up" to hell with it
Make the music the way that I do
Even if the cobwebs and skeletons are
My only audience I'm an oddity
Cause my head is bigger than most
These rappers who dabble in misogyny
Ya follow me?
Glorify guns and violence probably
My positivity keeps me from reaching platinum
Status and hitting the lottery
So keep talkin' about your follower count
I'm trying to stay calm
Pulling grey follicles out, Yeah
This is how you die without a sound
When the hit's and the YouTube views
They go down six feet to the ground
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When they yawn at every new
Song and new vlog post
And when your name is no
Better than compost so, You know
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When the buzz is no more
And you keep holding on
And you still make your dumb rap songs
So come on
This is how you dIE
Hack all the things! int80! Dualcore!
Gentlemen, you're along for the ride
Then begin
Start the time and observe how it flies
Ready to ascend the learning
Curve and it's high
Got your lifespan charted
Now it's burnt you alive
Easy come, easy go
Keep in mind the key to grow
Is holding on to each his own
Repeating for the need to know
I believe in though
Waiting for the speed to slow
Keeping hold of beats and flows
Pumping out the speakerphone
This is! How you! Flash and fade away
Interstellar dweller at the end of every day
Never will we ever say remembering your name
(nope) the bigger thing you're lingering
Extinguishing your flame (yup)
Coming down the tunnel and
Reflecting on your past, Right?
Climbing always signing just to
Magnify your flashlight
Last brights, last night
Publishing your last byte
Praying that it lasts and it's more
Than just your last rite
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When they yawn at every new
Song and new vlog post
And when your name is no
Better than compost so, You know
This is how you die on the Internet
When the people ask you
If you're finished yet
When the buzz is no more
And you keep holding on
And you still make your dumb rap songs
