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.
