Marlon Craft - The Internet Lied lyrics

Nowadays, rappers like to front
Like they so hard
You ain't no holds barred, you just no bars
But I ain't here to talk about no rappin’
Man that’s played out underhanded comments
I don’t go the Willie Mays route
Stay out you fears
Man I got too much to say now
Companies tryna buddy me for money
Ain’t your pay pal, nah
See music bout to feed me
But it kept me breathin’
Kept me believin’ when I ain’t
Have nothin’ to believe in
Now I listen to the river and
I stare out at the foliage
On my Axel Foley shit, breakin’ all the rules
While servin’ all these bad guys like
A waiter up at Trump Towers
Young cowards inhale all the smog
‘til they lungs shatter from
The smoke blown by the ones
With the most power
Sit and watch how the net
Work like my own router
Everyone got voices they ain’t
Earned and it’s dangerous
All terms are lame and shit
So how do I explain this shit?

The Internet lied to us
But shouts to Soundcloud where
You play this song
Said the Internet lied to us
So share this on Facebook when you get home
Tell ‘em ‘bout me on the Gram
I ain’t got no other plan
We at war on her land
And she got the upper hand
How we gon’ see our reflection
In this murky water?
Said how we gon’ see our reflection?

Nowadays, I sleep less
Cause I’m up hittin’ refresh
We exposed to more than before
Yet we see less
And I ain’t even know if it’s
Bad as it can be yet
Kids buried in a screen and they ain’t
Even got all their teeth yet
Food for thought slidin’ down the gullet
They can’t chew it right
Sure to choke ‘em if they don’t use it right
They ain’t usin’ sight to guide, but
Wait up, gimme a second
My phone buzzin’ man
I got notifications think I
Got myself another fan where was I? Oh yeah
Distractions gettin’ heavy
We opened up the floodgates but we
Ain’t worked on the levee
So I’m in the heart of the storm
Tryin’ to explain what rain is
Forced to engage with anyone with
Whom I’ve made acquaintance
I try my best to be good
I ain’t say that I was patient
Pennin’ statements algorithms cannot tell me
What their fate is
Days when I’m not sure quite
How to explain it so let me just say this
I’ll put it in layman’s

The Internet lied to us
But shouts to Soundcloud where
You play this song
Said the Internet lied to us
So share this on Facebook when you get home
Tell ‘em ‘bout me on the Gram
I ain’t got no other plan
We at war on her land
And she got the upper hand
How we gon’ see our reflection
In this murky water?
Said how we gon’ see our reflection?
