Verse 1: Notion
Yeah, Notion, Cee, Po3
You know, I know, I just wanna let you know, we’re together here, put that shit away, man
Sometimes you need to unplug just to feel the love
Yeah I swear it's more heavenly than clouds above
There's too much dumbin' down in our own homes
And you wonder why they call that shit a smartphone
Man, it's called a cell phone for a reason
Restrict you in the moment, make you see it through a screen and
Entice you for likes and shares, nobody fuckin' cares
What's real, what’s under there, I'm right fuckin' here
Speak to me, put it down, show decency
I know you've had the most obscene of weeks, yo
That's why I love a northern escape, to feel the space
Sun on my face, birds singin', amazing grace
I’m just statin' my lessons, call it progression
Yo I'm livin' in love and I'm payin' attention
Yo, it's been a day, yo it's been a week
But girl it feel amazing when we speak, it's been a long

Why am I missin’ out
On the time that you spend beside me?
Look at me and get it out
Ain’t no good that can come from hiding
I know it can get you down
When you spend your whole life trying
But
Don’t pull away
Don’t pull away
Don’t pull away
Verse 2: Po3
I got a story for you quickly, hope your fire is bright
About the world I came to know before the prime of my life
So gather round a minute, ain’t no kumbaya for tonight
See I’m just hoping to provide some insights
As a little boy I spent my time how I liked (that’s true)
And this was back before the internet and prior to Skype, fool
You’d never lose a phone when it’s on the wall, the wires guide you
And we still fought with fists and not gunfire or knife... shoot
Nowadays it’s like we ain’t even living
Information so available our brains are forgetting
How to formulate a thought, no landing pages and no images
And we wonder why were slaves to a system then, God damn man
Put ya phones down, turn off the TV
Ya kids are right in front of you like, “how you can’t see me?!”
Your e-friends in need of mass deleting
And you don’t wanna shackle your own ankles for the sake of them, believe me

Verse 3: Cee
Yeah, I need y’all to do me a favour right quick
Put your phones down, just for a second
Take a deep breath
Look at the world around you, and listen, just for a minute
Just for a minute
See, I’m a businessman
You never see me without my equipment in hand
And time is money, my nemesis be the minute hand
The hustle finish, booth bound where I spit a grand, homie I’m a different man
And while my lifestyle depending on the internet
I understand the ramifications of being infinite-
-ly logged on the networks and caught up in my headphones
Where real life’s a Like and the wifi is never dead zoned
Shit, so I be staring out my window
And watch the day pass, the world turning while I’m indoors
A vicious cycle, see I gotta keep the lights on
So we at the crib workin’ ‘til we finish, then the light’s gone
Damn, at least I recognize the folly in it
I’m cognizant that time is finite so we gotta live it
In that spirit, we got plans and we got dreams
And so our head is in the game so we can pull away eventually, yeah

Bridge: Cee
All we needin’ is to pull away
And understand before tomorrow, there’s a new today
Look around you, the world is so astounding, so
Put your phone away, it’s only me and you today, ay
