Looking in the areas we been slackin'/
Focusing on impressing stead of impacting/
It's all about our imagery. We gotta get it workin'/
Going through these filters, making sure it's picture-perfect/
We buy a lotta plays and follows just to look appealing/
To feel important looking big to others, type of dealing/
Take pics of giving to the less fortunate/
To appear a certain way, playing folks like organist/
Take a pic of ourselves in a suit/
Post it with a status saying that we making business moves/
And we get a lotta likes, lotta comments, and support/
But in real life, we just really dressing up for court/
All for a look, painting different narratives/
Far from reality, so far from there, it gets/
Crazy to the point that we believe it as we keep sharing/
The time we spend pretending can be time spent preparing/


Feeling like I gotta keep up to this image
Feeling like I gotta live up to this image
Like everything gotta be picture perfect
Like everything gotta be picture perfect



It's all about a look, all about how we appear/
Blinded by the clicks, that we not seeing clear/
We want the social media presence of being known/
To overlook our presence that be lacking in our homes/
We see community events we gotta take a pic/
We only there for a minute like yo lets make it quick/
Then post the pic and type a caption that's exaggerated/
Like we was helping people there, we have to fake it/
Anything to get a like or just to get a mention/
Appearing further than we really are to get attention/
Gotta keep up with this image that's a fantasy/
Even us artists do anything for a fan to see/
Flashing money we don't have, showing cars that we don't own/
Looking like folks rocking with us, but we really be alone
Crazy to the point that we believe it as we keep sharing/
The time we spend pretending can be time spent preparing/


Feeling like I gotta keep up to this image
Feeling like I gotta live up to this image
Like everything gotta be picture perfect
Like everything gotta be picture perfect


We see pictures of a couple, the way it would go/
We pointing to it like, yo, relationships goals/
We try to imitate it cause we think that's the norm/
But if we knew the reality, our hearts would be torn/
We really letting social media define our worth/
Comparing false measures can lead to a lotta hurt/
Creating unnecessary pressure, but here's the deal/
Having us tryna live up to a standard that isn’t real
