[Intro]

You're addicted, this is what's happening, it's a chemical reaction

You need more of it, neural pathways are being created in the brain

You want more

[Verse 1]

I don't think I'm able to leave it alone

I really don't need it believe me I know

But I keep fiending and fiending for more

Feels like a demon is stealing my soul

Pray for the day that I'm seeing it go

But I keep feeding it seeing it grow

Every time I use it its leaving me low

'Cause I get weaker the deeper I go

I've been abusing it man I admit it

Cause I gotta use it every damn five minutes

I'ma keep it real cause Seff is never synthetic

Every time I use it I'm always feeling pathetic

Then I just regret it, then I get a headache

Like I do I need a medic? Is anyone sympathetic?

Y'all get on my nerves cause you don't give me my credit

Even though I'm hurt I'm acting like I don't sweat it

[Interlude]

Addiction is a global epidemic

Whether it's drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, food or even shopping

Addiction can destroy careers, families, even individuals

[Verse 2]

I was told this would boost my career

And it did but now I'm severely addicted

Plus losing interest in things I love which brings me to tears

This drug fills me with fears

I've been stuck on this shit for years

It appears that all of my peers are also addicted symptoms are clear

My mind stays feeling scared

It's like I'm hyper aware

When I sleep the nightmares appear

'Cause I got bad luck like I'm breaking mirrors

I've been feeling low with no ambition

I've been all alone in this position

I've been hopeless like my soul is missing

I just wrote this hoping y'all could listen

This is not no opioid addiction

This does not require no prescription

This does not rely on no syringes

Mind control, thats why I'm so defenseless

I can't focus I'm just sorta restless

I just know the highs and lows are endless

I feel like my mind is so obsessive

Why do I feel like I'm just so helpless?

[Interlude]

For every like or share or engagement or any comment or

Any type of interaction that you get, dopamine is pumped around the brain

You feel good, instant gratification, you got some engagement

[Verse 3]

I want instant gratification

My iPhone's packed with applications

I just think I'm lacking patience

'Cause this phone I'm holding has me anxious

I use it for navigation, I use it for masturbation

I use it for mad durations, the fact is it ruined my past relations

I can't go on a damn vacation without having to tag a damn location

I wish life was back to basics and I just wish I was half as anxious

Am I a mess? Demons in my brain I suppress

People seem to say I'm depressed cause my DNA is now iOS

I'm nauseous, I think I might vomit

I'm feeling like garbage, I need some likes and comments

I'm honest, I really did try to stop this

Caution, I think I lost my conscious

Why do I feel like my thoughts are toxic?

I'm exhausted, I'ma take this phone out my pocket and toss it

[Interlude]

If you think, that you spend too much time on your smartphone

You can make a positive choice to not look down

And you can choose to look up today

And the time, the time that we spend in our virtual homes

Is at the expense of interaction in our real homes, in the real world

[Outro]

You might've called me a Smombie

That's a smartphone zombie
