Famous Last Words

Scrolling, not listening ;
You think that’s supportive?!
You think you’re the bomb?
Weak ass detonation 
Famous last words;
You call yourself an artist?!

Pretending to pay attention 
coming with anything but original;
Maybe that’s why you aren’t interested;
Weak ass contribution 
Famous last words;
You expect to get respect ?!

Criticizing someone’s work 
when you’re as bland as vanilla 
One trick pony, you’ll never change the game  
with weak watered down flavor,
Famous last words;
You think that catches fire?!

Strolling down a cold trail 
repainting the same lines,
Don’t be surprised if we dismiss your vibe ;
You get the energy you send; 
Famous last words;
You should rethink calling yourself an artist.
