Do You Hear Me?

[Intro]
Do you hear me?
Are you even listening?
[Verse 1]
Talkin' to this glass glow
Feelin' like it talks back slow
Scroll, scroll, faces in a row
Heart on typing, never on show
Left me on read, then you preach on a page
Act woke, but you sleep on the rage
Laugh react to the pain I post
Ghost in the group chat, hauntin' the host
Say you my day one, cool
But you fade when the day ain’t smooth
I been yellin' through the blue light static
You mute me, then call that habit
[Chorus]
Do you hear me?
Are you even listening? (hey)
I’ve been shoutin’ in the middle of the crowd
But you only ever answer to the whispering
Do you hear me?
Or you just pretendin’?
If my world fell down right now
Would you even know the difference?
[Verse 2]
Every “you good?” got a time limit
You there till the vibe turn business
You there till the shine start missin'
You gone when the cracks start hittin'
I don’t need views, I need viewin'
Somebody who stay when I’m losin'
You clap for the wins, that’s easy
Who’s there when the tears get greasy?
Talk cheap, ears cheap too
You reply memes, never see through
I ain’t ask for a fix or a sermon
Just sit in the hurt, just turn in
[Chorus]
Do you hear me?
Are you even listening? (oh)
I’ve been shoutin’ in the middle of the crowd
But you only ever answer to the whispering
Do you hear me?
Or you just pretendin’?
If my world fell down right now
Would you even know the difference?
