tl;dr

My hero never read a book That's the first thing they took Taking away our language Just to make us less dangerous Corporations put their hooks in us Then they watch and let us dangle Throw the book at you, a scandal Throw my words up like a vandal White walls in the gallery Stare like I'm part of the action Lose your life over a caption Capsize, now look who's the captain? Hard to tell who's real and who's cappin' Capitalism in action Camera flash camouflaging the answers Cars and mansions gone in a flash Got you asking, "What happened?" Karma coming right back because of your stances I read too much, get stuck out of balance Just like a Flying Wallenda Life like a beauty pageant Mood enhancing beverage, too advanced Performative compassion, viral dances Better image capture on the search for perfect matches Bad faith reading but your fans got your back No matter what happens They crowdfund scammers Who are always claiming they're fighting the masters Lining their pockets, happening often Signing petitions and constantly reaping the profits Obnoxious like cops who treat taxpayers like corporate sponsors No amount of copaganda will make me forget about all of the trauma And everyone online wanna mine it for commas Trauma farmers, barter for my soul Then balk when I try to argue Harder and harder to know what side of the wall I'm onto My DMs filled with racists To them, Black death's a celebration And Black life is more of a provocation Merchants of death masquerade as press Got pound of flesh, they'll pay it Livestreamed my grandma's wake I wish I coulda made it Don't hate the game I just hate the way they play it Regurgitating disinformation Bench warmers tryna score points While remaining nameless Never citing sources Unbothered, staying faceless Tasteless tastemaker Never make a stand, clout chaser Cows to slaughter Always bragging 'bout their brand, so remorseless Streaming apps use my catalogue to leave me voiceless Posthumous release, only time I'll get promoted Couldn't find relief, I couldn't find my focus Did some therapy, finally got sober All I want is peace and space to grow older With my family until it's all over Remember when they used to call me Rollercoaster? "Too long, didn't read" when I made this post I ain't reading all that But yo, I'm happy for you Or sorry that happened But I ain't reading all that I ain't reading all that yeah, that declaration of independence That's too long, man, I ain't reading all that I ain't reading all that Too long, didn't read, bro
