In Between the Lines

Facebook has turned us into disconnected fools
So much so that when we see each other we sound out like tools
“Hey how you doing?”
“Im alright.”
Yeah I seen your news feed.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah…”

And cue the awkward silence…



I mean whatever happened goin’ outside takin a breath of fresh air?
Instead of staring at a computer sceen in your raggedy desk chair?

“I dont care I got more friends than you do.”
But there aint NO WAY you know 1,253 friends
thats like being 45 collecting pokemon cards, the means dont justify the ends…

And plus… thats just friggin awkward!

So heres a shoutout to all the true friends
the ones who really know
that you might say “im fine” online
But right now your life just blows

And right now all you need is a shoulder to cry on
Maybe a hug
Or most definately an ear to chew
If thats the kind of friend you are

Then this goes out to you.

You see through all the bull crap
And your words can cut through all the fat
Sometimes you lay that verbal smackdown to remind a homie where hes at
And other times all you need to say is, “bro, stop being stupid.”

And at once, things become crystal clear
No room for judgements no room for fear
All you can do is be real
Got a friend right there whose words make you heal
Better than 1253 people who can only “like” your statuses

And im not tryin to put you on blast if you have that many… and if you honestly do, thats fine

But answer me this, when was the last time 1253 friends, read in between the lines?
