run your own race

this one's for you (& me).

when did you forget that you’re one of one?

the world had you thinking that you had to chase what had already been done.

the latest trending audio? yeah, add that to your post

and make it 7 seconds because you know that it’ll perform.

there’s insta, tiktok, snap…should I start a youtube?

i mean strategically speaking, that worked for you, too?

oh shit let’s start a podcast and talk like everyone else is,

then post it on youtube to get extra views in.

you see, there are so many ways to create a successful online presence,

but what for if you’ve lost the root of your essence?

little you had a vision to make art and share it with the world,

and somewhere along the way your inner child got pulled

to a distraction of capitalizing on that essence of pure creation for arts sake

so this is your reminder to run your own race.
