about

This song is about the various ways artists, business and casual users of social media set themselves up for failure. The proverbial do's and don'ts of putting yourself out there. What some fail to realize is we are judged (fairly or unfairly) by how we project ourselves on social media.

Think before you post, never let it be the death of you...

lyrics

Verse 1 (Image):
1. I swear... some of y'all lost the race before the starting whistle
2. Shooting yourselves in the leg...like Cheddar Bob with pistols
3. In this competitive space you want a leg up
4. Like Captain Morgan but you got a keg up
5. You struggle to keep ya head up when success' bus passes you by
6. So you approach the situation with an amateur's eye
7. So pathetic, you lash out like 2 two ratchets 'bout to go at it
8. Extending firearm threats like go go gadget
9. ...At the end of the day its all perception
10. Prospective clientele gain perspective
11. On the type of human being you are to deal with, I'm giving you some game
12. Take it or leave it my comrade (but) at the end of the day
13. It's on you...I wish every peer much success
14. But the rest is up to you never settle for less
15. What you putting out there let it represent the best of you
16. Think before you post, never let it be the death of you

Hook (2x):
1. This ain't death by dishonour
2. It's death to your brand and that's due to your persona
3. Assassinate your brand in 140 characters
4. Self sabotage can you really afford the damages?

Verse 2 (spamming links):
1. I believe in the power of the self promotion
2. At the same time I believe that there's a quota
3. When you proceed to exceed the quota you borderline coma...tose
4. Killing your efforts to push your brand cause of the over...dose
5. AM to the PM, from timeline to DM
6. Unsolicited links...I ain't trying to see em
7. Honest truth...build relationships...it ain't really hard to do
8. As an artist or brand it really should be a part of you
9. Pardon the mood, take it as love if i'm talking to you
10. I'm a starving artist too, walking with you
11. The journey is long, the tourney is rough
12. Promotion on a budget is real and earning is tough
13. It's like a filet mignon vs. the can of spam
14. A case of thought out versus never really had a plan
15. Many post mortems are so often ones self inflicted
16. Like gun wounds so uncouthe through instant message

Hook

Verse 3 (Personal problems):
1. ...I get it, we're living in the online era
2. But some things are best kept behind closed doors forever
3. The posts that some of y'all binge I cringe like whoa
4. Basket case or some damaged goods, you get my vote
5. I get it, its a release, you got demons within
6. Your baby's fathers a semen donor on leave to the pen...again
7. Family bash... no balloons, food or music
8. To many of y'all it's therapeutic...no judgement here
9. I'm just saying...you feel no ways putting it out there?
10. Recent music is decent but yo I got scared
11. Too much baggage to link to these positive moves I'm trying to make
12. Built so much over the years that I haven't got the time to waste
13. I keep my dirty laundry in the hamper where it belongs
14. Share minor details on my L's, balance wins with the losses
15. Of course it's the human element
16. The personal touch that keeps the post relevant...just think about it

Hook:

Verse 4 (Bigoted opinions):
1. Haha...you gotta love the hiphop racist
2. Loves the music but never equates it
3. To the struggle of the people for whom it was created
4. Collector of CDs and tapes and thinks he's earned the right to say it...(N!&#ers)
5. The 'N' word has entered this white guy's psyche
6. His favourite rappers are black quite likely
7. Small town kat from where diversity lacks and thats a fact
8. Online the closest that he came to blacks
9. Not hip to the realities at that, it was hard for him to grasp
10. That in some places being black could put a target on their back
11. Just because you rap, don't make you qualified to yap
12. On a twitter thread... spewing all that nonsense as a fact
13. The masses fired back... in a barrage of heated speech
14. Overwhelmed, this coward proceeds to delete the tweet
15. They ate him alive, he had to surrender, bash off the richter
16. Closest thing to a tranny, 'cause he got dragged on twitter
