The Internet Lied - Marlon Craft

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?
