[Intro]

Check, check

Yeah

Uh


[Chorus]

No, I'm not on TikTok

No I don't own a wristwatch with the big rocks

I just know that I can't let another second skip by

Let me rant, get this out

Might be thinking "Who is this guy?"

Just some millennial who's pissed off

No, I'm not on TikTok

No I don't own a wristwatch with the big rocks

I just know that I can't let another second skip by

Let me rant, get this out

Might be thinking "Who is this guy?"

Just some millennial who's pissed off


[Verse]

I'm making my return hoping just to earn paid attention

I know my absence ain't make a difference

Even the ones claiming they've been with me

As of late haven't accumulatеd listens

Entitled millennial, ain't too drivеn

Suburbanite since the age of six-ish

School of hard knocks, ain't have great attendance (Yeah, OK I get it)

I wanted my life on Broadway

How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Be a martyr without really dying

Treat my performance like the drafting of Zion

I'd run Homecoming at my alma mater

Lead the Cockpit without really flying

Safe to say you just fade away

When you talk of the come-up without really grinding (Let's go)

So I gotta get it

Do what they said I would when I grew up

They told me at age seven

Hate hypotheticals so if I said it you better place bets on odds I manifest it

(Facts)

Never been one to just talk then regret it

And act like an NFL corner backpedaling

Back-back-back-back (Woop!) Chris Berman

Even Swami Sez my future's uncertain

If I don't pop out like Pez with all these verses

Kill these instrumentals, ride 'em in hearses

No competition, no you-and-I versus

I got obscured doing too much observing

I gotta focus on me and my purpose

Put better energy in the universe

One thing I know how to do is just work

So these Boomers and Gen Xers cannot discourage

Say our generation's lost and don't give a shit

Viewing and producing negative images

Flashes on screens pique our interest (Ephemeral)

If you take a peek again it's (Subliminal)

Fake news is at its peak, apex and pinnacle

'Cause we can't distinguish real from the digital

Learned how to function from constant consumption

Long way from Conjunction Junction when we were kids

I hear all the statements you cynics give

I can even understand the sentiment

The logo's an asterisk, not a snowflake

So I won't get offended quick

I got a fire within me, try as you washed ones might to extinguish it

Instead of bitching at millennials, do more than read the Times- get with them

I'm tryna get with three sisters not named Kourtney, Khloe, Kim (Yeah that's cap)

I'm tryna get to the DJs, control spins like Chloe Kim (Back to back)

I got no gold on my neck but this here is my podium

I was told success is believing it's never an if but when

Jerz


[Chorus]

No, I'm not on TikTok

No I don't own a wristwatch with the big rocks

I just know that I can't let another second skip by

Let me rant, get this out

Might be thinking "Who is this guy?"

Just some millennial who's pissed off
