My mind is not always my own It's a state of mentality I've got strings tied to my arms, legs and head A social reconstruct of reality everywhere I look Ads commercials billboards "Do this do that No eyes facing forward the future is dark Who really gives a crap which soda is better Wow that's zero calories? Ever heard of a little something called exercise? Everyone is so high so strung up worried about their salaries No time to go outside Excuse me miss, the light is green cant you spare a minute looking past your compact mirror? Scratch that I can see the glow of that smart phone in your lap Who knows what you're looking at whether is be a text, or some internet crap Eyes glued to the screen like some kind of addiction welcome to social media the worlds latest affliction our minds become desensitized To the real world with it's drugs obesity *** and depression What you have ADD well there's a pill for that What you got drunk well there's an app for that Tell me where to go tell me what to do What should be my next meal that this is what I should look like cause 130 pounds is a 130 pounds of fat And I'm overweight compared to that blonde anorexic who is now the definition of beauty Discrimination is everywhere Racism is all over There is just one human race No matter the color of the face Of the world in which I love People judge me by the color of my skin But you know what You cannot consider yourself so grand and compare people to the dirt on which you stand Don't tell flaws are not a reality You can tie strings to my arms legs and head and next you will be telling me racism and hegemony is not an actuality But I will no longer be society's puppet
