Self over status

Self over status

Better myself

I don't care what others having

Self over status

Self over status

After I improve

I promise I will have it

Verse 1

People are caught up on status

Hating themselves and making bad habits

But really there great, when did this happen?

When can people look in the mirror without feeling sadden

Whats the point of the question if you never ask it

Reflection attention as time never passes

Taking a photo and people look at it

While shaming the kids who dont have it

Its not our fault you becoming a addict

You over sensitive and so erratic

Likes and comments validate your practice

Your changing just to say you savage

A million fish in the sea and you chose to get cat fished

People switch up and look different

They looking picturesque im thinking business

They stay hidden no one can figure it

The real you I couldn't find on a infa-red

You worry about the longest yard

I worry about my hardest bar

You're a false alarm

Im starting the fire on the farthest star

I enlighten the furthest darkest part

My floor is your ceiling

Im raising your roof with my carpet sparks

My sky is your limit

You diving right in it

You pulling a parachute im waiting to pin it

I look down on your clouds

While my brainstorms are lapping your finish

Rapping to you is like asking a infant

Facetime with no face time how do you act on a visit?

Laughing while timid a shell of yourself in the distance

Every snap is trapping your image

(Hook)

Verse 2

People try to be perfect

Never themselves thinking they're worthless

But when is this verdict?

When can people look in the mirror without soul searching?

And what is the point of the answer if you never earn it

Im hating myself when I look at the world

Im hating the world when I look at these girls

Girls look back at me like give me attention

I make a song for them hopefully give them direction

I live in the lost generation

Emotions are soft and strive on false information

Trust issues and a loss of raw dedication

Feelings applaud hesitation

Can't speak can't sleep can't eat can't breathe

But promise nothing was stated

Everything is just bottled up

You looking for lightning well my thunder struck

Flash in pan you call it love

I say im feeling sparks my heart stops yours starts to erupt

People live with no communication

They feeling a false hope and try to duplicate it

Send a text message feeling like a super saiyan

To a person thinking what kinda game you playing

Phone calls just work as entertainment

No one thinks about there words before they say em

I will repeat myself even if its over stated

Now look at my face I can no longer take it

I will no longer be under these sanctions

Im breaking away from the matrix

Its self over status im making you anxious

Its self over status im feeling amazing
