Jon Connor, Craig Owens - Stay Distracted lyrics
[Jon Connor, Craig Owens - Stay Distracted lyrics]
(Radio chatter) when will they wake up
And when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?
Look, trapped in the world where we
Don't give a fuck and it's all about gossip
Somebody's pain is another person's content
Post quotes, they get taken out of context
You will lose your life for a like
Long as everybody watched it
Everybody wanna preach
Everybody wanna act deep
Fake woke niggas still sleep
Everybody caught up in personas
That don't match up
When you meet 'em in the streets
Nah, nigga, fuck that, on three
Everybody take your mask off
Maybe then I could respect you
When what you portray don't reflect you
You imprisoned by an image that you
Feelin' everybody should connect to
You sound smart to a dumb motherfucker
But, you really let the petty shit affect you
Beggin' the world for acceptance
When you lookin' in the mirror every
Day and don't accept you
Post pics and hope somebody else jealous
How the fuck's that livin' your
Life as the best you?
Livin' your best life is peace of mind and
Not givin' a fuck what everybody else do
And every day, time's passing
Life's based on actions, not upon captions
Here's another quote for your status
Stay distracted
When will they wake up
And when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?
Look, every day I wake up
And the world gets smaller
Won't nobody look up, and the sky is falling
I feel like I'm alone, but I'm surrounded
Two sides playin' tug-of-war in your mind
Let's see which one's the loudest
Too scared to be real
Who is that in the mirror?
Popularity kills, like poppin' a pill (yeah)
Hiding the pain with how
You artificially feel
Stressin', hopin' for acceptance
When the question is
What are you projecting?
You've become obsessed with
Everyone's perception
Caught up in the bullshit, you
The only one it's affectin', now look
Keep my head on my shoulders
Keep the will to stay me
Fuck awards and fuck trophies, shit
I'll validate me
Shake my head at this madness
Fuck the bread and fuck status
True wealth lives on the inside
I just hope you don't stay distracted
When will they wake up
And when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?
Look, every day I wake up
And the world gets smaller
Won't nobody look up, and the sky is falling
I feel like I'm alone, but I'm surrounded
And when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?
Look, trapped in the world where we
Don't give a fuck and it's all about gossip
Somebody's pain is another person's content
