if you're gonna be a pacifist
a world of fascists will
passify masses
like passive passengers
and if they don't like this, they'll cancel us
and now they're spreading through the body like it's cancerous
and everybody on their phone's an evangelist
but they're vandalists, I can't fathom this
in their act of aggression there's a passive bliss
passiveness posing like an activist
and add to this, leaders are actors first
and the people at the top are just passionless
so the lyrics of this verse are a passion fit
and if I come across as rude - I'm passionate
my anxiousness is smashing it
like a head-on collison I'm crashing it
I'm bashing it, I'm raising up a batch of it
my baddest spit is here upon this maddest tip
I'm rapping it hard even as the atoms split
there are earthquakes and rumours of war as war rages
everywhere you look it's like it's more outrageous
newspaper headlines hype fear in stages
sensationalized stories to sell more pages
and nevermind the truth, it's so outdated
reality is relative, it's all R-rated
you're living in a movie and your iPhone made it
where you can shoot selfies and hope you get famous
hope to be an A-list celebrity
thinking that the remedy to life is getting likes from your enemies
your hype is a felony, it bites to be desperately digging for approval
on a doom scroll endlessly
endlessly feeding on a feedback loop
the inside scoop is knowing that we've all been duped
to keep checking our phones for a hit of dopamine
hooked on the wifi and coked on a smokesceen
choked on codeine, no hope to go clean
trying to stay woke when your spirit is comatose
doing the most, pretending to be with it
and losing your soul so you can really feel legitimate
Posting all day just to make yourself permanent
Determined to make yourself a pertinent fixture
follow for a follow til you’re ready to feature
And like for a like til you get in the picture
