Short Instrumental Intro
(Verse 1)
Yo, we living on a timeline, every move's a headline,
Got a phone in my hand, world quick to assign,
Labels like a store tag, put a price on your mind,
One slip, one tweet, and they pulling the line.
Gen Z, we the children of the scroll,
Fingers tap-tap, but they can't read your soul,
Facts bend like a story told by a troll,
Too much heat? Better watch how you roll.
(Hook)
Cancel this, cancel that, feel the pressure on your back,
One false move, they attack, ain't no cover, that’s a fact.
Living in a glass box, we all stuck in the trap,
Cancel this, cancel that, where the truth at?
(Verse 2)
Was it shade or a joke? Funny, where's the line?
One wrong laugh in the chat, now you paying the fine,
Used to be a joke, now it's a crime,
Hiding in the comments, ain't no way to unwind.
Holding grudges like a badge, accountability's a game,
Write your sins with your fingers, trending hashtags to blame,
But how much is too much? Who's the one that we shame?
When the crowd turns cold, it's a fire that's to tame.
(Hook)
Cancel this, cancel that, feel the pressure on your back,
One false move, they attack, ain't no cover, that’s a fact.
Living in a glass box, we all stuck in the trap,
Cancel this, cancel that, where the truth at?
(Verse 3)
We preachin’ to the choir but the choir can't sing,
Caught up in the mix, now we questioning bling,
Satire's out the door, humor's a risky fling,
But I'm just tryna vibe, hear the freedom it brings.
Generation ghost, we the wish I could say,
Living life like it's a tweet, scroll it all away,
Fighting battles with thumbs, in the court of display,
Truth's a currency, watch how it decays.
(Hook)
Cancel this, cancel that, feel the pressure on your back,
One false move, they attack, ain't no cover, that’s a fact.
Living in a glass box, we all stuck in the trap,
Cancel this, cancel that, where the truth at?
(Outro)
Yeah, we out here, living on the edge,
Navigating lines, gotta hold that pledge,
In a world so loud, can we find peace?
Cancel culture choking, let the silence release.
