[Verse 1-Powder Black]

I hate texting, it seems like everybody does it

I hate it, and I made this song about it just because it’s

Getting to the point that its really bothering me

If I want to talk to you, I want to hear your voice, not read

When communicating, the way that gets top speed

Is conversing with another person, not stop-ping

After every sentence and hitting send

It’s a waste of time when all you’ve words, you’ve written them

Calls were invented first, but you figure it'd be backwards

Cuz texts came after but phonecalls are faster

You can get more information out quick

By talking-and not typing, hearing loud clicks

And your average text message ain't about shit

So I usually ignore them and the sender is now pissed

Talk’s easy, but texting ive gotta concentrate like Auschwitz

To make sure they’re getting what I mean, now this..

[Hook]

I hate texting, folks act like it’s the best thing, but that’s just not true

I hate texting, its depressing, im not texting you

[Verse 2]

I hate texting, and if I had a choice

Instead of reading paragraphs, I'd rather hear a voice

Not to mention, its hard to type on my phone

And since I don’t text, I guess I'll end up likely alone

I tried to talk to this girl, and she said she only texts

So I texted her a couple times, cuz I wanted sex

Put my phone down, saw the blinking light so I looked

Seven messages it looked like she was writing a book

Text a whole conversation? I won't fall for that

If you send me one, im prolly gonna call you back

Called her up and actually tried to chit-chat

But then she had nothing to say, let me kick facts

Nowadays, people use texting as a way out

Scared to talk to folks, but text and got a lot to say now

If you lack the social skills to have a conversation

Then you shouldn’t have a phone, and ive been waiting to say

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

I hate texting, but I understand its necessary

And I use it sometimes, but I do it very rarely

If you’ve got to send a short message, it’s the best way

But its not if you’ve got a lot of things to say

I'm not the type that checks my phone constantly

To some people, that’s really important but its not to me

I’d rather just talk, even if I talk awkwardly

Cuz unless their unlimited, they can put you into poverty

Not really, but they can be a big cost

And If you don’t respond to them right away, then folks get pissed off

People try to tell me that they’re too busy to chat

But you can send me 30 texts in 15 minutes flat?

So if texting is the way you prefer to communicate

Then we probably won't be talking much through the day

Cuz for all I know, this whole exchange could be lies

Cuz I can't hear your voice or see your eyes, And That’s why

[Final Hook]

I hate texting, folks act like it’s the best thing, but that’s just not true

I hate texting, its depressing, im not texting you

I hate texting, cuz I hate guessing, what you’re trying to say

Im confessing, I can't gage your inflection when you text, but I probably wouldn’t care anyway
