Jon Connor Stay Distracted Lyrics

[Intro/Chorus]
(Radio chatter)
When will they wake up, and when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?

[Verse 1]
Look, trapped in the world where we don't give a f*ck
And it's all about gossip
Somebody's pain is another person's content
Post quotes, they get taken out of context
You will lose your life for a like, long as everybody watched it
Everybody wanna preach, everybody wanna act deep
Fake woke niggas still sleep
Everybody caught up in personas that don't match up when you meet 'em in the streets
Nah, nigga, f*ck that, on three, everybody take your mask off
Maybe then I could respect you
When what you portray don't reflect you
You imprisoned by an image that you feelin' everybody should connect to
You sound smart to a dumb motherf*cker
But you really let the petty shit affect you
Beggin' the world for acceptance
When you lookin' in the mirror every day and don't accept you
Post pics and hope somebody else jealous
How the f*ck's that livin' your life as the best you?
Livin' your best life is peace of mind and not givin' a f*ck what everybody else do
And every day, time's passing
Life's based on actions, not upon captions
Here's another quote for your status
Stay distracted [Chorus]
When will they wake up, and when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?

[Verse 2]
Look, every day I wake up and the world gets smaller
Won't nobody look up, and the sky is falling
I feel like I'm alone, but I'm surrounded
Two sides playin' tug-of-war in your mind, let's see which one's the loudest
Too scared to be real, who is that in the mirror?
Popularity kills, like poppin' a pill (yeah)
Hiding the pain with how you artificially feel
Stressin', hopin' for acceptance, when the question is
What are you projecting?
You've become obsessed with everyone's perception
Caught up in the bullshit, you the only one it's affectin', now look
Keep my head on my shoulders, keep the will to stay me
f*ck awards and f*ck trophies, shit, I'll validate me
Shake my head at this madness, f*ck the bread and f*ck status
True wealth lives on the inside
I just hope you don't stay distracted

[Chorus/Outro]
When will they wake up, and when will they care?
Every day, this world gets smaller
Will I fade like everybody else?
Look, every day I wake up and the world gets smaller
Won't nobody look up, and the sky is falling
I feel like I'm alone, but I'm surrounded
