RED DOT Lyrics

Hit the red dot now we're recording

Why don't you tell them about your life and how you doing

But don't tell them your faking to get likes cause you're life is really boring

Don't tell them you're depressed and your next check will fill the void

But it won't and you know it

Scrolling scrolling scrolling hoping that the next thing you come across you'll enjoy

And I be doing it too

Taking pictures and thinking about how to get the most views

She said I don't even post but get my good side just Incase

Or let me arch my back so they ain't looking at my face

And see the tears

Because the pressure to be perfect I can't take

I'm about take my life cause no one will notice anyway

Mustered up the courage chose the interstate

Marketed it in her calendar finally chose a date

Now she gone not knowing her following were the same

And all and I can think is that red dot is to blame

Hit that red dot now we recording

Artists start to lie come to find out it's pretty rewarding

Start touring making a bag I can't judge

But once that façade falls they gonna realize that your bogus

We know you ain't like that

You'll lose a few fans but really that ain't the worst

All them lies convinced a generation of kids it's cool to put half your city in a hearse

Art imitates life and life imitates us

Now we got group of insecure men with a strap

Running around judging women based off their ass

Cause that's what they been told to do

That's what they were told was cool

That's how they were told to be a man by the recoding booth

The red dot is powerful

You could change the culture asap it's ain't gradual

All you need is a hit and body to your name then fame comes along PR stunts does the trick as your career doubles in altitude

When I heard you passed it really tugged at my heart

I remember the first day you came to class and you sparked a conversation

Said you could tell I was about my business

Made me laugh now I wish I could offer an ultimatum

I was on vacation found out you were on the pavement

Bleeding out I'm thinking about what they'll write down on your engraving

Wonder if you were alone when you took your last breath

It's hard to think about your friend leaking blood from his chest

That red dot brings baggage's

Now your little daughter ain't gonna grow up with her daddy

And I ain't saying what you did was right

But man I didn't think you deserved to lose your life

And as I get older it's hard to see the light

And it's sad I feel you were a product of the red dot

Get a gun and post it on the gram cause why not

the rapper's do it even though they faking and you not

But the attention and the likes makes it appealing and you can't stop

They said the red dot would make you cool not take your life

Here you are taking your final death before you die

That preacher man crying in your funeral line talking about their ain't no love in this city tonight

To many dying

Not enough men stepping up and trying to

To lead a generation from hell into Zion

Though the rain had come but it's just the tears from the crying

I'm tired of dancing, dancing around this fire

Acting like I ain't getting burnt or that my feet are tired

I'm ready for the rain see the clouds of grey

Maybe tomorrow haven on earth won't be so far away

How much is a life worth?

This year in Birmingham Alabama so many died that you didn't even make the news

Your life amounted to just 5 sentences typed to a keyboard by an intern on lunch break

That's all your daughter has of you

As the hands on the clock face sprint around this track a few times you'll be forgotten

So I ask how much is a life worth?

And Is fame worth dying for?

See I remember that boy in art class

I see bits of you in every kid I come across

I'm reminded everyday that I'm blessed to be alive

On the days when I find it hard to get out of bed

I remember that this dream I have has to be started by someone

If that someone is me I don't know

But I won't stop trying until my children see the world in my dreams

Nah nah I dare, I dare to believe

That if protected our youth we, we just might see

Heaven on Earth if we dared to believe
