Children of the Internet (feat. Dave & Es Devlin) [Remix Feat. Joey Bada$$]

(Yeah, right) I flashback to a time, I was maybe 12 When we used to play outside and give Granny hell Daily trying just to not end up dead or in jail Now these kids braindead and prisoners to they cell My lil cuzzy come around and barely make a sound He got his headphones on, his head looking down Disconnected from everything that surrounds him The Social Dilemma tendency's on the thousand Few raise they brows while most keep browsing Seconds turn to minutes and the minutes turn to hours an' Then the hours turn to days, wilful lounging You livin' on the internet, ain't focused on ya housing (housing) Now how the fuck that shit sounding? She smiling in the pictures, but inside she frowning (she frowning) Thirsty for attention, got her so obsessed I guess we just children of the internet (the internet) (Children of the internet) Look I grew up in a good but a changin' age My wife and kids - Damon Wayans When the youth club was everybody's favourite place Where if you spoke to a girl then it was face-to-face Bruh, I seen the heart of the 'hood turn trendy Kids lose interest Parks turn empty Social media's got us all less friendly Now, can't you see the irony? She's got game when she types to me but nothing in person, that ain't the type for me Asking "Can we go for dinner?" yet in the flesh No conversation, no intellect The future generation of the children of the internet It's all change an' I'm seeing it now You can meet a hundred people without leaving your house Puttin' pictures in a frame, a memory in the clouds You know everybody keeps their memories in the cloud We finally found a voice and we ain't speaking as loud People only wanna listen to the sheep and the crowd And any other statement gets you cancelled by an activist that's never helped the cause that they're tweeting about Do you blame public figures and personalities For giving li'l kids a warped view of reality? Or blame all of the apps that make a killing On finding the sweet spot in your self-hate and vanity? Could you argue that it's borderline dangerous To take a picture of a girl's face and start changin' it? In one quick filter, your nose looks thinner Your eyes look fuller Your lips look bigger Your software's better and your phone knows everything If anything, it's getting George Orwellian Look It's all connected, nobody's protected From business collectives, your info's collected There are more active cell phones on the planet than people The mobile phone is both a connection and disconnection device And is typically placed between the human and its surroundings Tuning the surroundings out Children of the internet
