Read the Room

Yeah this idea of purity and you're never compromised
You're always politically woke and all that's stuff
You should get over that quickly
You know, that's not, that's not activism
That's not bringing the object
If all your doing is casting stones
You probably won't get that far, that's easy to do

My whole team say don't drop that record they will cancel you
For having a view that is contrary to the mass magnitude
And the con-jury I get latitude
And Hip Hop is supposed to be radical
Don't do it Q, don't lose your cool
Don't fuck up the bag you're doing good
Forget your morals and values too

When social media comes for you
You won't survive it they will lash at you
The backlash and trolls will be laughable
Think about your career and all the avenues
How the money comes thru your valuables
Your close friend are the ones that value
Your endorsement deals you only have a few
Ain't nobody gon backing you

It's a sensitive subject don't get involved yet
Your face has never been on Instablog yet
Re-edit the song with a sensible budget
Even if you right they will never see your honest
Hold it together but see the core sense
Find rationale behind broken concepts
Everybody woke and upset

Most following blindly to a hopeless doorstep
Those that want to slow your progress
Those that smile in your face but they hoping you fall next
AQ this will be the end of us
Just by affiliation they will mention us

Think how 16 Benz is two
But you no get money when your rent is due
Or how Ebiye shot himself in the foot
To do this now is insensible

When social media comes for you
You won't survive it they will lash at you
The backlash and trolls will be laughable
Think of your career and all the avenues
How the money comes thru your valuables
Your close friend are the ones that value you
Your endorsement deals you only have a few
Ain't nobody gon be backing you

You will lose it all that's how they will silence you
They here for the drags and the violence too
You don't have the fanbase to fight the blowback
Even apologies won't make it go back
Is their duty to be cyberbullies
Judge you before the lord, finds you guilty
They got receipts of your previous tweets from 2010
And you can hardly speak

When social media comes for you
For speaking your views they will cancel you
Everybody moving with a bladder full of peace
Takes readily to spill it out on you

Nobody cares if you're speaking the truth
Even if some dude they can't defend you
If they try they get devoured too
You are going down alone they won't beside you
When social media comes for you
