Rhymes of Our Times
These kids talk comedy like comics getting banned from Comic Con/ Deferral, denial/ Gone viral like vinyl/ Going platinum/ He's golden/ Native of narrative town/ She gets around/ Like a disc she gets dissed/ Here's that disorder you ordered/ that they'll use to market the market and mark it in marker the colour of blonde/ She gets a bad name that rhymes with the band name/ Such a bland name/ like her brand name/ dressed like a peacock/ He's cocky/ She's so tall like a tall tale/ a tall glass of whatever you like/Glassy-eyed rolling too high/ It's high culture/ High stakes/ What's at stake at the stake where they're burning CDs/ This kid's a prodigy/ a protege/ postponing that big mic drop/ like he's Michael/knows he might fall/He's in the limelight/got that lime juice/dripping tunes like he's Limewire/Such a livewire/serving life that lemonade/With a fashion statement on his bank statement/Released a statement to say he's sorry for his part in the story/these kids got Instagram like instant noodles/ Sippin' on that soup like it's sweet tea/ Slurp it up like fit tea/ Prototype of 'pretty boy'/ It's pretty clear he doesn't think these pretty girls are pretty/ He's tired like his tyres/ still trying to tie himself together/ He lies to them/ Till he's lying flat on his face/ these kids are standing in line/ Not understanding/ It's all a joke/ It's a Jack joke/ In a box joke/All boxed up/ In these boxes that he hides in/
We just take it/Then we fake it/We're all actors/Acting so woke since we woke up/You think that's deep?/ We go deep down into these deep cuts/Diving too deep in this dry drought/Now WE'RE ALL OUT!
