Self Over Status Lyrics by Retep

Self Over Status

2017

Hook
Self over status
Self over status
Better myself
I don't care what others having
Self over status
Self over status
After I improve
I promise I will have it

Verse 1
People are caught up on status
Hating themselves and making bad habits
But really there great, when did this happen?
When can people look in the mirror without feeling sadden
Whats the point of the question if you never ask it
Reflection attention as time never passes
Taking a photo and people look at it
While shaming the kids who dont have it
Its not our fault you becoming a addict
You over sensitive and so erratic
Likes and comments validate your practice
Your changing just to say you savage
A million fish in the sea and you chose to get cat fished
People switch up and look different
They looking picturesque im thinking business
They stay hidden no one can figure it
The real you I couldn't find on a infa-red
You worry about the longest yard
I worry about my hardest bar
You're a false alarm
Im starting the fire on the farthest star
I enlighten the furthest darkest part
My floor is your ceiling
Im raising your roof with my carpet sparks
My sky is your limit
You diving right in it
You pulling a parachute im waiting to pin it
I look down on your clouds
While my brainstorms are lapping your finish
Rapping to you is like asking a infant
Facetime with no face time how do you act on a visit?
Laughing while timid a shell of yourself in the distance
Every snap is trapping your image


(Hook)


Verse 2
People try to be perfect
Never themselves thinking they're worthless
But when is this verdict?
When can people look in the mirror without soul searching?
And what is the point of the answer if you never earn it
Im hating myself when I look at the world
Im hating the world when I look at these girls
Girls look back at me like give me attention
I make a song for them hopefully give them direction
I live in the lost generation
Emotions are soft and strive on false information
Trust issues and a loss of raw dedication
Feelings applaud hesitation
Can't speak can't sleep can't eat can't breathe
But promise nothing was stated
Everything is just bottled up
You looking for lightning well my thunder struck
Flash in pan you call it love
I say im feeling sparks my heart stops yours starts to erupt
People live with no communication
They feeling a false hope and try to duplicate it
Send a text message feeling like a super saiyan
To a person thinking what kinda game you playing
Phone calls just work as entertainment
No one thinks about there words before they say em
I will repeat myself even if its over stated
Now look at my face I can no longer take it
I will no longer be under these sanctions
Im breaking away from the matrix
Its self over status im making you anxious
Its self over status im feeling amazing
