Is Anything Real Anymore?

Everywhere I go I see fake ass shit I have to ask, is anything real anymore Like this suburban kid is pretending to be street And he's on the top 10 of the billboard list I have to ask, is anything real anymore I don't know Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore I was influenced by those who were down on their luck The rappers who respected hip-hop and were real as f*ck Those who took their life experience and made it art Those who reached into their soul and gave it heart Back in the day, rappers worked to be unsigned hype Now they're like, why the f*ck do you even need a mic When a persona can be generated on the fly From fake as f*ck looks to lyrics, it's all AI I never thought people would bang this shit Especially when the lyrics aren't even fuckin' legit Talkin' about the street life as if it's an aesthetic Like the creators of this bullshit are truly apathetic To the plight of the youth stuck in them ghettos All they really care about is getting the dough They're aware of the damage but they just don't care Is anything real anymore? I am scared Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Tekashi be tellin' kids that it's okay to be a snitch That you could lose street cred and still make hits Drake be tellin' kids that it's okay to be a sell out That you should chase for fame and chase for clout Kanye be tellin' kids that it's okay to be a troll That you can insult woman, that it's cool to be an asshole Khaled be tellin' kids that it's cool to be lazy That you can do nothin' and find success like crazy The balls of these stars just straight up amaze me The damage they're doin' is making me crazy This the future we talkin' about and it's lookin' bleak Kids gettin' away with this type of shit and we're supposed to think That it's cool to be hollow, that it's cool to be fake And we supposed to look up to these two-faced snakes What they're doing is treason and we're giving them attention I'm serious right now, this is my dissension And you can suck it Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore Is anything real anymore
