Clout Chaser

Intro -

Yeah...

Welcome to the circus.

Everyone's famous for nothin'.

And nothin's famous for everyone.

Let's talk about it...

Verse 1

Everybody want a ring light, nobody want a job

Everybody want the spotlight, nobody want the sob

The story of the struggle, they just want the happy end

Skip the part where you bleed, just show me where the trends begin

Influencers in mansions who ain't never built a thing

Sellin' you a lifestyle that they bought with borrowed dreams

They'll tell you "Link in bio" like it's the new religion

And you'll click it, and you'll buy it, and you'll call it a decision

Reality TV stars who ain't got no reality

Just a script and a villain and a manufactured tragedy

They'll cry on cue for camera, then they'll laugh all the way to bank

While you sittin' at home feelin' empty and you can't

Figure out why you're lonely when you're "connected" to a million

But a million ain't a friendship, it's a number, it's a prison

We traded conversation for a comment and a like

Traded presence for a pixel, traded day for the night

Verse 2 -

The kids wanna be YouTubers, nobody wanna read

Nobody wanna struggle, everybody wanna speed

To the top, to the fame, to the money, to the clout

But they don't wanna know what the other side's about

The anxiety, the pressure, the "you're only as good as your last"

The "if you fall off, we'll forget you fast"

The algorithm's a monster that eats you alive

And spits you out when the next kid arrives

We got grown men dancin' for a dollar and a view

Got grandmothers on OnlyFans, what the hell we gon' do?

Got politicians twerkin' for the youth vote

Got pastors on the 'Gram sellin' you a new hope

For a small donation, for a monthly fee

For a "blessing" that'll never set you free

We laugh at the Kardashians, but we watch every episode

We mock the influencers, but we follow every road

They tell us to go down, 'cause we the ones who made 'em

We the ones who gave 'em power, then we turn around and hate 'em

Verse 3 -

We livin' in a simulation, a satirical joke

Where the loudest and the dumbest are the ones who get the most

Where a TikTok dance can make you richer than a doctor

Where a viral moment matters more than bein' proper

We raised a generation on a diet of distraction

Then we wonder why they can't focus, why they can't take action

We sold 'em dopamine and called it entertainment

Then we blame 'em for the outcome, that's the ultimate arraignment

But I ain't exempt, I'm guilty too

I scroll, I like, I share, I do the things I'm tellin' you

The difference is I see it, and I'm tryna break the chain

Tryna find the real amongst the plastic and the vain

So turn the phone off, look around, look someone in the eye

Have a conversation that ain't filtered through a lie

'Cause when the lights go out and the algorithm dies

The only thing that's real is the truth behind your eyes

Outro -

We famous for nothin'.

Dyin' for likes.

Livin' for comments.

And forgettin' how to live.

Still here. Still awake. Still scrollin'.

But tryna stop.
