Soft as Silk

Verse 1

Tapping on tablets, yeah, that’s what you do

Fingers flick, forget stickball and late curfew

Snapchat filters, you’re scared of a bee

Back in my day, that grass cut my knees

You never scraped shins

Cracked screen, you call that pain? That’s fiction

Maybe you’d get tough, trade TikTok for a run

Mom packs your lunch, backseat driver, but you’re not even one

Whining for Wi-Fi, you cry in the store

“Mom, I want Robux, I want more”

Three hours on YouTube, zero outside

You wouldn't last half a day if the Wi-Fi died

Chorus

Generation Alpha, soft as silk,

Life in HD, full-fat milk

“When can I play?” “Is it my turn?”

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Post-Chorus

Soft as silk, soft as silk

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Verse 2

Where’s your imagination? Did it download late?

Played pretend for hours, your dream’s an update

Gamer chairs reclined, but you never fall

Call of Duty, but you’ve never seen a brawl

You cancel cartoons, but memes make you cold

I used to break rules, you just get polled

Algorithm kings and viral queens

But you shiver when you’re seen, screens so clean

Chorus

Generation Alpha, soft as silk,

Life in HD, full-fat milk

“When can I play?” “Is it my turn?”

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Post-Chorus

Soft as silk, soft as silk

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Bridge

Maybe you’ll remember rough hands, rope swings

Maybe you’ll invent struggle from stranger things

Maybe you’ll find out what boredom brings

But maybe you’ll swipe, scroll, forget those springs

Verse 3

Back in the day, need was need, fun was cheap

Your biggest flex is waking up before three

Ask Siri for answers, can’t spell on your own

We ran from bullies, you just block the phone

Chorus

Generation Alpha, soft as silk,

Life in HD, full-fat milk

“When can I play?” “Is it my turn?”

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Post-Chorus

Soft as silk, soft as silk

Can’t take heat but love what burns

Outro

But maybe, yeah maybe,

You’ll surprise me

Maybe, just maybe,

You’ll break free
