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
