A brainy, bangin’ hip-hop offering exploring our modern day attention economy and addiction to technology / social media.
lyrics
I’m tired, man
Look at all these wires, man
Nowadays we’re only connected by diagram
White noise and computer fans
Welcome to user land, Where you can
Control the world through your hand
Access granted or rights revoked
All it takes is a quick strike of a keystroke
It feels like it’s been so long since we spoke
But we’re married to the ‘net so I guess we e-loped
That’s a deep joke
It might hit you while your feed loads
Terms and conditions? Don’t nobody read those
Reply with your favorite emoj
If you get a second to put down the remote
Databases get bigger and speeds grow
But patience gets thinner so we act like things slow
We constantly refresh and need mo
Swipe Left or Right to address the ego
I wake up and unlock my screen
Check my apps and plug in like an IV
It’s another day, another critical dose
Stuck on that Digital Dope
I wake up and unlock my screen
Check my apps, plug in like an IV
Another day, another critical dose
We’re stuck on that Digital Dope
I’m lookin’ for some peace, I hope Amazon delivers it
My package is late, how inconsiderate
I’m caught in the web but think that I’m a bigger fish
I wanna shoot to the top, got a constant trigger itch
Pick the right Font — then we can center it
Run a couple bots so we can catch the right sentiment
There’s methods to implement for metrics and instruments
You can send a text, but I’ll ignore it when I get the sh*t
We’ve gone to gigabits, from kilobytes
Stare so much I need a blue filter to kill the light
I don’t see lots of love but we’re filled with Likes
Things too hard to say, we can still type
It’s too real for real life, escape like pills or pipes
I’m Pacman, ghosted chasin’ girls he liked
I’d rather sight see but just seem to see sites
Does your device own you or do you own your device
I wake up and unlock my screen
Check my apps and plug in like an IV
It’s another day, another critical dose
Stuck on that Digital Dope
I wake up and unlock my screen
Check my apps, plug in like an IV
Another day, another critical dose
We’re stuck on that Digital Dope
