Kadesh Flow, LEX the Lexicon Artist, Schäffer the Darklord, Super Smack - Screens lyrics

Thank you my dear rapper friends for
Coming out to church today
Here in the basement of this church
Where they usually hold AA
I co-opted this space and swapped that
'A' with a big fuckin ’S'
So we could get our sins up off our chest

I’m not the priest but please confess to me
The demons that seeped in between
You and your screens
You can choose the podium, your chair
Or those cushions for your knees
I only ask we keep this confidential
Nothing more
Oh and one more thing I almost forgot please
Check your phones in at the door

Oh Lord, see these things I’vе done
Feels like I’m trapped in a mazе
And although I run i’m still lost here
I’m still lost here
And all I see around me are these screens

Too many screens too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens too many screens
Too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens

Facebook, Insta, Twitter, Facebook
Reddit, Insta, Twitter, Gmail?
(what?) whether it’s a dank meme or
A shitpost you can
Bet that I’ll be reading it in detail
'Cause I been staring nonstop
At my smartphone
Or my desktop I’m just aimlessly scrolling
Ever since I was a kid
I’ve been using the internet
Strictly to fill in this hole in my heart

Where do I start, Back in IRC chat rooms or
Forums just talking to strangers
Or casually adding those randos
On MSN Messenger
Straight disregarding the dangers
Of internet abuse or people preying on minors
All I know was I wanted to satiate my desires
Of fame, And appreciation I’m still
Seeking on Facebook so hey it’s looking like
The situation is dire (sigh)

I don't know what I’m waiting for
A text from that one person
That I’m craving or
An email that would tell me that I made it or
Maybe a notification to show I ain’t ignored

You say I’m bored, but I blame inertia
You don’t know the ways that
Your brain can hurt ya
Goin' through the pages of
Reddit in search of fuck all
Draining sands like the Prince of Persia

Guess it's the urge for the dopamine hit
The second I get it I know it’s legit
I put effort in taking control of my shit
But the question's I don’t think
I know when to quit

No checking or scrolling
I better live in the moment
Lest I let it go over and
Then regret when I’m older
I need to leave the big
Bad social media machine
And if I never relapse I’ll
Be free of the screen

Too many screens too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens too many screens
Too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens

I been up for 5 days
Trying to make this grind pay
Watch them catch a night wave
While I make the slide play whoa
I could use a nap or two days of snoozing
Rap is kind of hard look, Super Smack

Listen I just have to tell ya
Even with a packed bar yelling my name
I still feel like a failure
2 AM I'm playing games to decompress
'Cause while wouldn't say I haven't
Moved the needle yet
Or that I'm not experiencing
Things I've dreamed of, Guess
This Witcher run's the only
Way I'll feel sleepiness plus a vodka soda
Beside my controller
Now it's 4 I'm hopeless
I've got a call in the morning
It's at like 930 AM

But I'm hurting wait a min now it's 5
I'll survive
Took shots and downed some coffee
At like 9 before my show
Now it's 6 bae just walked in
Yawning then her eyes she rolled

My bad she leaves me to finish
The story arc that I’m concerned I
Might delete if I get up and let up
On the notion that I need to
Breathe in the set up
Of magic characters and puzzles on
The screen I'm digesting

I'm like a workaholic alcoholic
Gamaholic fiend I'm obsessive
And if I ever get to sleep I'm reflecting
On what I just played
These games keep me from stressing
I guess I must say
Many screens I need to feel rested oh no

My name is Schaffer
(hi, Schaffer) and I'm an addict (oh no)
Twenty plus years of daily usage
It's far surpassed a bad habit
With that first shot I got for free
I never thought I'd be a fiend
A junkie for pornography
A drug I'm popping via screens

I used to call my viewing healthy, hell
I nattered on about it
Before I noticed I no longer
Get turned on without it
And my old sex drive which
I once thought was endless (gone)
Replaced by shame which came along
With my newfound dependence (y'all)

I'm online, and I'm strung out
Glassy-eyed with my tongue out
Take that dose, and I feel worse
I've got thirty tabs open
And I still search
For that last clip that I can't find
That fast hit for this sick mind
I go hard till I get off like
I'm livestock feeding from a pig's trough

Xtube on my iPhone - coffee shop
Jpegs on my H drive - lost a job
DTs on the N train - hopping off
And beeline to a pee scene - I gotta stop
BDSM to DDLG to JOI POV going full HD
Every night getting high with my DOC
And bye bye to my love life RIP

I'm supposed to be Super
That's the moniker
Sometimes I lose it though
Surrender to my monitor
Playin' Smash long past the time it was fun
Funny when your favorite work of art
And your addiction become 1AM to 8AM

Yo Desh, I’m right there with you
Lex and Schaffer, different strains
But the same disease, I feel you
Got poison ivy in our psyche
Shooting that IV, call it IG
Or a girl on guy scene
Or getting hit by a Side B
Why don’t you just die, screen

Too many screens too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens too many screens
Too many goddamn screens
I’m twisted I’m tilted I’ve turned
On too many screens
