about

This is my love/hate relationship with social media song.

lyrics

Chorus
I could get up on the mic and lie
Like I never rolled a bike only fly G-5
I could get up on the mic and lie
Tell ya I never cry.

I'm that kid from the open mic that you laughed at.
Now I got your white flag hung at half staff
You never stopped judging I've always been a class act.
Lying on the mic you rap about fat stacks.

I think it’s funny the fake shit you post on Facebook
You don’t own a mansion dude you just a face crook
Karma strikes quick life will get that frame shook
Hop up in your rocket ship you live in outer space, look.

It’s not about the Benjamins, or the engine in your Benz
You can make up shit just to make friends,
But remember, even we can play pretend.

Chorus
I could get up on the mic and lie
Like I never rolled a Bike only fly G-5
I could get up on the mic and lie
Tell ya I never cry. (Repeat)

I’m so glad that you’ve been practicing, back tracking
Instead of just fake paper stacking
I’m so sick of feeding rappers shit they lack
This is gonna take a minute, so I hope that you packed a snack.

How could you be so presumptuous to assume that this
Motherfucking lunch was on us? I’ve never seen so many
Honey bunches with nuts.
Trust me when I say that I’ve had enough.

If I didn’t make music I would lose it.
So when you tell me you’re the greatest I will damn well hold you to it.
Constantly plotting, but you better get up of him,
Cause I won’t stop till my blood is clotted in a coffin.

Chorus
I could get up on the mic and lie
Like I never rolled a Bike only fly G-5
I could get up on the mic and lie
Tell ya I never cry.

I log in and post about my picture perfect life (yeah right)
Upload some photos of my flawless super model wife (yeah right)
You can’t compare to it, so you go buy a knife.
Stab into a crowd of kids and blame it on internal strife.

We obsess over the news, sit around and choose
What the cause or who’s, fault it is but lose,
I just figured out Blues Clues, but if you can’t read between the lines and understand we’re doomed.

Bridge:
Welcome to the land of make believe
Where everything you thought was true, but you have been deceived
You think that you have been reprieved
But it’s only temporary, cause you can never leave.

Chorus
I could get up on the mic and lie
Like I never rolled a Bike only fly G-5
I could get up on the mic and lie
Tell ya I never cry.

about

Zubris Durham, North Carolina

Calling Zubris' music a mixture of alternative rock, rap, folk and pop still wouldn't quite describe it. Like he, his music is in a constant state of change as he experiences life and grows as a human. He hopes you'll grow with him and realize no ones perfect, but if we can all see the world with a little more love and understanding we can at least say we tried. ... more
