We wasn't born famous. Our identities are nameless. No masks but we got hidden faces. On the map but we in hidden places. We're won over to lose. Born to die with the sun on snooze. We could try to conjure the moon. Lights out, POOF! Expect the dark soon. There's strength in our veins. Wisdom in our brains. Faith, we try to taste but it seems our time, we waste. It's a free land here but we work in tears. You ain't rich? Stand there. With the cheese? HI, DEAR! Nobody cares to know how you got some dough. But you must secure it or you're not important. You want a title? Simple! Go viral. The Internet is the Bible. The likes are like idols. Hard work is hardly a thing. My people want to be seen. They kill themselves to live. They rip themselves to be fixed. Most of the world supports the rich. The poor can find a ditch. The famous is answered quick. You're obscure? You stay sick. The lowly without the heart to keep tearing humanity apart for their glory... They stay in the dark until they can stop their hearts. What is this life? Where your existence is not enough until you touch the sky or kiss the dust.
