Stay Distracted - Jon Connor, Craig Owens

When will they wake up, and when will they care?

Every day, this world gets smaller

Will I fade like everybody else?

Look, trapped in the world where we don’t give a fuck

And it’s all about gossip

Somebody’s pain is another person’s content

Post quotes, they get taken out of context

You will lose your life for a like, long as everybody watched it

Everybody wanna preach, everybody wanna act deep

Fake woke niggas still sleep

Everybody caught up in personas that don’t match up when you meet 'em in the

streets

Nah, nigga, fuck that, on three, everybody take your mask off

Maybe then I could respect you

When what you portray don’t reflect you

You imprisoned by an image that you feelin' everybody should connect to

You sound smart to a dumb motherfucker

But you really let the petty shit affect you

Beggin' the world for acceptance

When you lookin' in the mirror every day and don’t accept you

Post pics and hope somebody else jealous

How the fuck’s that livin' your life as the best you?

Livin' your best life is peace of mind and not givin' a fuck what everybody

else do

And every day, time’s passing

Life’s based on actions, not upon captions

Here’s another quote for your status

Stay distracted

When will they wake up, and when will they care?

Every day, this world gets smaller

Will I fade like everybody else?

Look, every day I wake up and the world gets smaller

Won’t nobody look up, and the sky is falling

I feel like I’m alone, but I’m surrounded

Two sides playin' tug-of-war in your mind, let’s see which one’s the loudest

Too scared to be real, who is that in the mirror?

Popularity kills, like poppin' a pill (yeah)

Hiding the pain with how you artificially feel

Stressin', hopin' for acceptance, when the question is

What are you projecting?

You’ve become obsessed with everyone’s perception

Caught up in the bullshit, you the only one it’s affectin', now look

Keep my head on my shoulders, keep the will to stay me

Fuck awards and fuck trophies, shit, I’ll validate me

Shake my head at this madness, fuck the bread and fuck status

True wealth lives on the inside

I just hope you don’t stay distracted

When will they wake up, and when will they care?

Every day, this world gets smaller

Will I fade like everybody else?

Look, every day I wake up and the world gets smaller

Won’t nobody look up, and the sky is falling

I feel like I’m alone, but I’m surrounded
