Alone (Shorty's Story)

He said I always feel alone
With the light on
Latch key kid
Ain't nobody home
He said I'm dealing with
Depression
I've been on my own
Schizophrenic listening to panic
ON AN ON
Hes swimming inside a fish bowl
Trouble coming closer
Running Screaming adios
Perfect life
He going the extra mile
But in denial
Reality running wild
Crack a smile
When he feels he get the picture
Lying on a profile
To make the story bigger
User name
Hugs and a handshake
But what he said
Couldn't get him on a 2nd date
He's looking at her 2nd base
Feeling uncomfortable
She's gettin red in the face
Whites of her eyes
She feeling all the lies
She went to grab her phone
Turned her back
And shes gone
And he's alone

Social media
won't last that long
How could you be around a million or more
And feel alone
How could you be around a million or more
And feel alone
Like me
Like me
Like me

55
But she's Acting like she's 30
Spends her time
Taking pictures that are dirty
A lot of men double tapping
Just to see it
Sharing the link
If you click it free The penis
That is 3.99 for a limited time
If you become a member
You continue this ride
I could guarantee this
You will never have a chick
And all the time that you spend
Will cripple you in the end
Scared to talk
Can't even say hi
Looking down on the floor
Instead of in her eyes
You got the Convo
You hit a combo
This ain't a game
You already lost the round so
You get her number
And store it in your phone
Never to call it
Staring while you're all alone

Social media
Won't last that long
How could you be around a million or more
And feel alone
How could you be around a million or more
And feel alone

So
When you first got out how did you feel
Knowing that the world that you have came into
Was full of smart phones and apps
That you had to get relationships through?

Man that shit was wild Joe
Motherfucker came out here
I remember y'all telling me ugh
Everything's through smart phones
I didn't even have a smart phone
Had a flip phone
Nokia
I remember dropping that bitch in the toilet
I was lost
But
As time went on ya know
I tried it out
In private
I didn't let them niggas know

So
Now that you've been out for a while
And you obviously got a smart phone
Obviously you got a lot more apps
A lot more time to actually
See what it is
To develop a
Relationship on the Internet
How do you feel about that?

Well you can go about that a few different ways
I'll play with it
Got on the little apps and all that
Did a profile
I got a few hits
Knocked a few
But it wasn't what I was looking for

So did you feel alone?

Alone?
Yes but no
Cause where I come from
Aye
Learned to take care of myself
That's some real shit

So where do you think the future is going
Being that a lot of relationships
Are developed Online
And through social media apps?
Do you feel like
It's going to stay around forever?

When you say that
And I go to thinking
I remember this conversation
That me and you had
Once upon a time
About them robot bitches
I'm sorry bro you were right
That's where its going
But you ain't gon find me
Out there doing no robots

Maybe a hologram?
Hell nah
Anything to keep yourself from being alone right?
I need the real thing
