Ring 04:02
Let's talk about phones, let's get in the zone Phones are not a plus, they are a curse Phones are a distraction while doing your subtraction Can't wait to see your teacher's reaction It's when you're sitting in class and you see that flash Oh no, I'm gonnae to have to face my teacher's wrath 'Cause if you're sitting on your phone constantly not paying attention You're definitely going to be getting a detention And if you're sitting on a phone you'll fail your exams Do you understand this epigram or do you need me to send on Instagram? Here 'cause we won this rap, Didn't use no app, Don't underestimate us Give us your trust, we'll make it. This is your judgement day so listen to what we have to say The Internet is a sensation, Facebook is for our generation Friends, foes, there's loads to upload If that's not you, just download You came here to diss the use of social media, Instagram, YouTube, even the online encyclopaedia - Wikipedia It's about staying connected And protected like Skynet Let's be honest, this is your frustration About the realisation that social networking enhances imagination This is just an observation of your argument's termination So check yourself from the fight, you're up against the Terminator My answers add up right, you struggle to use a calculator Don't worry too much sweetheart, there's still an impartial adjudicator. Here 'cause we won this rap, Didn't use no app, Don't underestimate us Give us your trust, we'll make it. Phones are just a liability, they're not secure You should worry about getting hacked Like Boris Johnson and the others attacked. Phones aren't cool, they're a distraction tool In school on your phone not knowing how to take out a loan You'll never get into college because you have no knowledge About how to be educated The necessary brain cells haven't been created Your IQ's the same as my shoe You think that's clever, don't you? X-Box, Playstation, they dominate our nation The social code is too hard for you to crack So get back to your Nokia and leave me to my iMac Why would you need social media? You don't have any friends You don't go out on weekends Bebo, Twitter - ask the lot We all think that they're so hot Sitting on Facebook, being a God Lots of research will help you get a job Sitting on Twitter, eating a fritter... Retaining all that knowledge will help you get into college The newest thing out is the PS4 But you'd better be careful you don't fall off your dinosaur That'd be sore but don't be sore Just because you've lost this war Just like Arnie, I'll be back But you won't.
