I’m a Millennial
Lowkey
But upbeat
Lactose intolerant,
Gluten-free.
What was your name again?
Pardon my memory
I left my brain
Behind a speaker in an EDM festival
So first coffee
My thirst to eat, drink, consume is never-ending
But actually, I’m not that thirsty
Cause just had a spinach, banana, ginger, green tea Fat melting, probiotic cleaner cold-pressed, detox smoothie
That I got for 30 dollars.
I broke down the house, car, and the diamond industry
I suppose they were already shaking
Cause I don’t even have a penny
But I do have a thousand-dollar worth of phone and computer
I guess I’m just crazy
Don’t dare call me crazy.
I launch start-ups to fail
Do stand-ups to dare
Go to pop-up stores, find something to wear
Smoke pot, big inhale
Snort Ritalin, eat kale
Do I look pale?
Good.
Then the face whitening cream must be working
That I got from sale.
I dream big
Think small
Work hard
Keep calm
Live large
Laugh loud
Give love
But not so much
Cause I have to look cool
So don’t touch.
I swipe right
Swipe left
Find a catch
I’m after the perfect match
I go on a date
One, two, three times maybe
But then I ghost him
Cause he doesn’t go down on me
So we break up in-text
I say “Thank u next!”
I wanna be a comedian, DJ, Twitter celebrity,
Blogger, an Instagram influencer,
Maybe a YouTube personality,
Fuck doctors and teachers!
Now it’s not time for dreamers
Now it’s time for vanity.
Surrounded by fake news
I lost my touch with reality
What is reality?
I question my sexuality
My nationality
Trying to find
Trying to find some kind of spirituality
In a very revealing yoga pants
Well, that’s my mentality.
I shout “Shade!”
I do casual racism
I think the more I get naked
The more I do feminism.
I grew up getting participation trophies right and left
Now I don’t understand why life doesn’t give me what I want
“Or am I not the best?”
I ask myself every day
Cause I see lives better than mine
Competition is an endless stair that I try to climb
But the more I see life isn’t fair
The more I get sad
Very sad
Very, very sad
But I get up and I meditate
I write a gratitude list for the material things I dedicate
I do yoga
Just to have a butt that everybody would wanna fuck
Well, sometimes I feel degenerate
When I see broken things around me
Like a pop song, but indie
I feel emptiness deep inside me.
But that’s okay
Cause I slay
I’m Netflix and chill
Believing after a point
It’s gonna be downhill
I can never pay my bill
That’s why I ask for money from my parents
They say “No,”
But eventually they will.
But they believe I’m food for nothing
Entitled
Narcissist
Lazy
Just because we took a couple of selfies
They call us
Generation “me-me-me”
Well
Some might be true
I’ve gotta agree
But none of this helping me!
To survive
Maybe I should've found a sugar daddy
That’d make things easy.
What an ordeal that we came to deal
No one knows what is fake or what is real
We could make something out of it
This could be heaven but it turned out to be a hell
Fake-ass smiles everywhere
No real affection
That I feel.
But burn-out
Burn-out is real
Depression is killing me
Drug and alcohol overdose is more epidemic than ever
Suicide is the number one enemy
No one knows what's the remedy.
"Wake me up when I’m famous,” I say
Cause numbers determine my value
But the more followers I have
The more I feel devalued.
Sometimes it s just too much
"I can’t eveeeeen"
Can you?
Well
Whether you like it or not
I’m a Millennial
So
Fuck you.
