Sellphone

Awww
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Aw, damn
(Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock)

They be like
"Damn Oddy Jee
I don't know where you came from
But you're sure going places"
I'm at the stand making lemonade
'Cause life gave me lemons
I dream about wonders and Warner
I imagine just like Lennon
I be tripping tap in with Monae Clemons
(She unfollowed me)
Twisted mind in a cute sweater
French ass, American culture
It doesn't get any better
I couldn't get any clever
I made a pact with the devil
Then I put it in the shredder
Then he gave me a phone like
"Maybe you'll like social pressure"
Yeah you got your selfie
Can't take it without a filter on
Addicted to that screen
The content in your life is long gone
Like "why would I go back to a life that don't warn me
When a trigger might come?"
All I know is I will remember my mom saying

I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock
I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock

But when it's only me and my cellphone
Suddenly I feel way less alone
Writing in my story like "at least somebody's listening"
But I'm a fool thinking people give a shit
'Cause when they skip it
I'm the only one watching it repeatedly
Been left on read
But I won't cry, won't cry
Cause when I blow up
I'll laugh about that, 'bout that
Like "oh, now you're calling me back, me back
Is it 'cause now I got stacks, got stacks, got stacks"
(Oh my God listen up)
I'm on the phone with fame and I can't seem to turn it off
I want this paper in my hand like I'm running away from love
I get triggered from my own feed but I let it feed me some more
I'm at the park trying to breathe but I'm taking pics for some posts

I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock
I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock

You can call me
I won't knock on your door
But I'll answer my phone
You can call me
Haven't posted in a while
But I'm on IG waiting for likes
You can call me
If I lose my phone I'll get another one
The same day, just in case
You can call me
Addicted to strangers double tap
I glued it to my hand
You can bet your ass that
You can call me
You can call me
You can call me
You can call me
You can call me

I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock
I felt better when I had no cell phone, cell phone
How can a smartphone make me feel so dumb, so dumb
Why read a book when I could watch a Tiktok, Tiktok
Waste away while my life's clock go tick tock tick tock

(Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock)
