Nothing at All
E.Cole I
GENRE [Intro]
Yo
This sounds like it was from '98, but…
Times were better back then
We weren't all up in each other's shit all the time
Check
[Verse 1]
It's been a rough year and still sitting inside
Got eyes on screens, what to do with the time?
Shit, you hate your own life gotta ruin someone else's?
Internally convincing yourself you're not selfish
You find a tidbit, spin it out of context
Mix it in with facts that you never cross-check
Act personally hurt, shape a narrative around it
Post it to your circle while they're slumming on thе couches
These arе accusations, who cares what's factual?
Put 'em on trial where the mob holds the gavel
Retweeted shares get velocity views
The uninformed chiming in are clouding the truth
It's trending, getting picked up by news sites
They turn a blind eye 'cause they know the views spike
Big deal, someone does different than you
Shit, we got real problems if we listen to you
[Chorus]
I've had enough, I'm gonna be a mime now
'Cause opening your mouth is like a crime now
And all you wanna do is victimize, wow
You pass judgment in no time now
In the hole so deep you won't climb out
Dig a little more, what'd you find out?
With just one push of a button we fall
I guess we're better off saying nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Here I am walking amongst foes and adversaries
An acrobat tip-toeing around vocabulary
I wish you best of luck when you're out trying to screw me
It's not all black and white but I'm turning silent movie
Got dirt on me now? How you gonna persuade?
You play with people's lives while I'm playing charades
You're going crazy on another level like bat shit
You should have my career since you're into theatrics
One little slip-up and that's all that it takes
Disregarding the fact that humans make a mistake
There's no filtering process in broken systems
'Cause for one legit claim there are a hundred shit ones
I'll shut my mouth, you can't take my jokes
Don't hold it back ten years and say you hate my quotes
You need to take step back and have a clear look
I'm not sorry for that dick sketch in your yearbook
[Chorus]
I've had enough, I'm gonna be a mime now
'Cause opening your mouth is like a crime now
And all you wanna do is victimize, wow
You pass judgment in no time now
In the hole so deep you won't climb out
Dig a little more, what'd you find out?
With just one push of a button we fall
I guess we're better off saying nothing at all
[Bridge]
We wanna feel important now
We need that satisfaction now
We won't accept we're different now
We're jumping on the wagon now
[Chorus]
I've had enough, I'm gonna be a mime now
'Cause opening your mouth is like a crime now
And all you wanna do is victimize, wow
You pass judgment in no time now
In the hole so deep you won't climb out
Dig a little more, what'd you find out?
With…just one button we fall
I guess we're better off saying nothing at all
