flatline - snake stelleo & st4bility lyrics

[intro]
i’m standin’ here, watchin’ the party die
caught myself reflectin’, times have changed, the craft has been commodified
but it’s too late to say my goodbyes
i’ve been in this game too long, to quit would make my soul flatline

kendrick told us all what to do
but most of us don’t have the sk!lls or motivation to see it through
and i could stay complacent, sit back and enjoy the view
but i’d rather stand up, partake in starting anew

[verse]
they ask me, “what’s the point if there’s no one there to hear it?”
but when they ask, i see some cracks in their spirit
they ask mе, “how will you make enough to hold the fort?”
but that quеstion doesn’t help when the world is on life support

the body’s still running, but the brain is dead
’cause the empirical poisons have gotten to its head
these days it’s all about results, practicality a drug
but sometimes it’s practical when it’s our minds that we debug

i’ve talked to people who never learned self*expression
and it explains a lot about when they go wrong
they’ve never drawn a picture or written a song
and that silence can lead to an inevitable depression
music is the best way i’ve found to cope
the sk!lls i’ve spent a decade building help me get my feelings out
i can bounce back when i’m in a world of doubt
and it should give not just me, but the rest of the world hope

[interlude]
but instead of those outlets, people find a different way
without creativity, their minds are led astray
they can’t think about art without some assistance
they can’t see substance without taking a substance

and the industry has only been fueling this problem
labels don’t background check or test who they put on ’em
their so*called “greats” glorify materialism and crime
and it causes not just souls, but also bodies to flatline

[verse]
but it’s not just rap that’s gettin’ people high
my usual scene, edm, some of us are doin’ the same
some say you can’t enjoy techno without lsd
or hyperpop ain’t complete without smokin’ weed

what happened to the music i used to love? this got me hurt
why do we act like you have to not be sober to judge worth?
i always thought enhancement via substance sounded lame
you should be able to feel the craft with a clear mind
so it’s time for a new war on drugs i’m declaring
we need to cleanse our canvas, flush away all these toxins
i shouldn’t have to say this, this problem should be glaring
but the people only see distortions at which they can’t stop staring

their vision under the influence, they put it in their songs
saturating the market with fantasies that are all wrong
and the algorithms drown me, got me feelin’ hypoxic
the time to bring back realness is now, it’s takin’ way too long

[outro]
i want you to think about when you’ll take your last breath
have you done something worthwhile yet, or will it all just be regret?
think about how many creations you’ve brought out from your head
and if you’ll leave something behind at the end of your time

i’ll be stayin’ with the party if we come to its death
but the preferable outcome would be a hard reset
and i hope i can help someone realize where we’ve been led
because after ten years, i f*ckin’ feel like the music might just**
[ekg flatline sound]
