lyrics

technology has never really been my thing
said fuck the ipad and got a moleskine
stay off the map - off the grid - off line
don’t need no iv pumping wifi to fill me with bad vibes
cuz i get pissed at the fact i get pissed
at all the dumb shit i see that makes my lame friends pissed
everyones a critic - everyones a god
don’t believe the hype man everyones a fraud
nobody you know is as important as they act
i try to keep it simple but still get caught in the traps
because its hard not to type shit back – i feel you
gotta take a stand - make a point - fuck that
like who the hell are you - some asshole on a laptop
and who the hell am i - some asshole making hip hop
everyones a political analyst - damn
don’t believe the hype man everyones a scam artist

yo, i don't hang out by myself because i got no friends
it's just because all my friends like dumb shit
all of my - all of my friends like dumb shit
counterfeit - counterfeit motherfucking scam artists

sure i could fit into some mold - let social norms define my life
become a slave to shape that i don't even like
squeeze my fat ass into some skinny expectations
awesome - radical - totally bodacious
a dancing monkey - a birthday clown
so high on being normal i ain’t ever coming down
everyone is happy - everyone is blessed
don’t believe the hype man - everyones a mess
nobody you know is as perfect as they act
we all have guilty pleasures that we're keeping under wraps
and i don’t think you wanna know what i'm hiding inside
but if you show me yours then i'll show you mine
because everyone is filthy - nobody is clean
so much dirty laundry - no washing machine
and we’re acting like our shit don't stink man - goddamn
don't believe the hype, man - everyones a scam artist

don't wanna talk about your gods, your money, your politics or love
i don't believe in any of the above
i think i'm ready for it - i'm sick to death of all your
gods, money, politics and love
i don't believe in any of the above
i think i'm ready for it - i'm fucking ready for it
