checkmarks

In a world of validation
In a world of confirmation
I'm not alright
I'm contemplating my whole life through this pixelated phone right in front of my eyes
Who gives a damn about a fancy check mark
Or what about a K beside your name as a benchmark
I really don't care about the number of screen shots
I got to learn about the type of friends that I've got
The type of friends that you can go out on a lunch with
The type to make you feel like you are at your youngest
The type to make you feel like you are at your strongest
I wish I was around the more this past August

My head is spinning round and round
Cause my follower count is going down
And my talent alone can't get the clout
So what am I suppose to do now
And I know just how this might go
My reputations so poisoned but it's better than your's is

But it's better than your's is
But it's better than your's is

In a world of segregation
In a world of saturation
We're losing sight
We cannot tell what is wrong or right
Cancel culture's taking over and it's not alright
Who gives a damn about a fancy check mark
To validate your grades on a stupid report card
Who cares if you went and graduated from Harvard
Experience should be the only thing that should matter
I already wasted four years of my life
I'm an intern with a degree but it doesn't satisfy
Cause I can't get a job in Computer Sci
I dedicated my life so I don't know why

My head is spinning round and round
Cause my follower count is going down
And my talent alone can't get the clout
So what am I suppose to do now
And I know just how this might go
My reputation's so poisoned but it's better than your's is

My head is spinning round and round
Cause my follower count is going down
And my talent alone can't get the clout
So what am I suppose to do now
