BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Carbon Copies
- [.](Loop if beat ends before ending)
- ///Verse 1
- They want the substance of my suffering, the coverage and public ring
- The blood to bring, the ugliness, the thuggish ness theyre summoning
- Discover me when troubles in the vicinity, specifically
- When tragedy hits differently, then suddenly theyre list'ning, see?
- Flick the screen, pick a theme, victim clean for the algorithm
- Clickin' streams, slick with schemes, stickin' dreams in a prison system
- Digital visions of division, wasnt with us on the mission
- Now you posture with precision, dollar figures your religion
- Capitalize on capitals, the casuals turn activists
- Actually, just actin' it, attraction to the pageantry
- Fashionably mad at shit, rapidly attacking it
- Backwards how they package it, truth gets lost in all the theatrics
- ///Chorus
- Where were you before the cameras came?
- Where were you before they branded pain?
- Monetize the moment, own the frame
- But when it fades, will you remember names?
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Duplicating outrage for the profit
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Revolution sold inside your pocket
- ///Verse 2
- Manufactured fury for the jury of your followings
- Hollow men who swallow trends, tomorrow bends to politics
- Modeling a monolith, acknowledge its apocalyptic
- How you polish up the obvious then profit off the consequence
- Conscience isnt optional, the obstacle is logical
- when standing for the principle means actually being topical
- Beyond a photo op or two, beyond the hashtag hospital
- Where movements go to die slow, denied growth, thats comical
- Optical illusions of solutions that youre peddling
- Meddling in everything, unsettling, youre settling
- for less than what the message brings, youre leveling the playing field
- by playing with the pain we feel, parading round the graves revealed
- They want me woke until its costly, then they want me quiet
- Want my voice until its choice between my morals or defiance
- Appliance to compliance, reliance on the silence
- of the ones who built the systems that theyre claiming now to fight against
- ///Chorus
- Where were you before the cameras came?
- Where were you before they branded pain?
- Monetize the moment, own the frame
- But when it fades, will you remember names?
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Duplicating outrage for the profit
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Revolution sold inside your pocket
- ///Bridge
- Performance activism, endorsement of the gimmicks
- Importance dismissed when the clicks aint consistent
- Your conscience is business, response to the system
- Is talking real loud while youre walking real timid
- ///Verse 3
- Consistencys a rarity, apparently sincerity
- dont carry weight in charity, disparitys hilarity
- When narratives are varying depending on severity
- of whats trending in the clarity, Im staring at the parody
- Watching you parade around with borrowed pain
- Tomorrow came, youre gone again, the sorrows just your honored name
- upon a chain youre rocking, claiming, stopping all the horror, claiming
- common ground while pocketing the dollars that youre doctoring
- No doctrine in your doctrine, just adoption of whatevers popping
- Shopping for a cause that costs you nothing but appears profound
- Appearing down, endearing now, but really youre just steering 'round
- The real work, the field work, the kill yourself rebuilding
- Peeling back the systems that you claim you have a feel for
- Still more concerned with image than with actual implementation
- Infatuation with ovation, no foundation, just inflation
- of your ego through the peoples pain, youre see through, it's insane
- ///Chorus
- Where were you before the cameras came?
- Where were you before they branded pain?
- Monetize the moment, own the frame
- But when it fades, will you remember names?
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Duplicating outrage for the profit
- carbon copies, carbon copies
- Revolution sold inside your pocket
