Ballad Of The Invalids

You couldn't pay attention So now you gotta buy it She get 1000 likes on Facebook And now you go try it We all on a diet Everybody's exciting a riot But really just the type To be sitting there typing And maybe that's not what you mean to do But the fact remains That your doing things Without the means to do So you ruin things You Hurt things You birth things That make worse things The proverbial carrot hangs in your mind As you chase this money Like the energizer bunny You just keep going And going And going to work To pay bills late and cop a new shirt Too many days spent Chasing the days spent Recalculating how the days went Thinking about yesterday so much That today is the same shit And last year Was supposed to be your last year Thinking of the last year But here you are this year Thinking of the past year I guess you still counting on change Like a cashier I mean really You ever seen a person Trying to afford some shit they already purchased You see they couldn't pay attention So now they gotta buy He get 1000 likes on Facebook So now you go try it Man I'm so tired Of repeating shit And competing with Mothafuckas that like to Screenshot mistakes And control alts Before you can delete the shit Not knowing they throw stones And hide hands but live in glass homes Secretive You see these on the down low hoes Really cointelpro's They in denial Cause they not wearing a wire But still go and tell those Whether they friends or foes They not worried about the success of the mission As long as somebody knows That they trying Which really means They attempt to failing See me I rather be tried for life And walk free a convicted felon See don't nothing cost like freedom When you hit the snooze button And when you snooze you lose So how you ain lost nothing You see time is money But you couldn't pay attention So now you gotta buy it Then you go retweet some dumb shit Then I say some shit That trump shit Like a flute to a trumpet And now they quiet Just how I like it Give me some time to think Of sentences that are complete Wrapped in paragraphs That do compete With lies Told to minds Trained to think obsolete That want to be liked cause they shit is weak This is the ballad of the invalids An entire generation Seeking validation Generating everything but occupations Idols became rivals and revolutionaries became the administration What would you rather have Participation or Reparations Separation or Segregation I mean make your mind up All these rebels in line Never been in a line-up Why don't you shut the f*ck up And do something Better yet do something And shut the f*ck up Don't get caught looking Put in this pot cooking Before it starts cooking Because body temperatures do adjust Ballad of a dead soldier this can't be us Losers come pre approved By the unqualified already disapproved That sold royalties and souls To borrow greed from Jews You see they couldn't pay attention So now they gotta buy it They mind was trained not to think Just follow patterns planted to discrete For even the dudes that peep To look This is the ballad of the invalids An entire generation seeking validation Generating likes bought by corporations In the age of information And it hurts to admit That they got me with the same shit So what do we do We go get more likes now Some of that internet glory To add to my beautiful status And a legendary story Maybe I should share it So you can pay attention Or maybe I should make you buy it Post the shit on Facebook get 1000 likes So now you can go try it Peace
