They say they tired of it Same system, same script Same faces on the screen Still the same ones get picked Every month got a theme Every week got a show Every season got a game Tell me where the hours go January set it off New goals, new plan February hearts everywhere Still scrolling in your hand March madness, brackets filled April something, still a drill May awards, dressed in gold Same stories getting sold Summer time, fireworks Loud nights, same loop Fall come, new season drop Everybody locked to the group Say you want something different Say you done with the noise But you still give it time Still invest your voice Still click, still watch Still argue in the thread Still feed the same cycle Then repeat what you said It ain’t force, it’s focus It ain’t chains, it’s choice What you give your attention That’s what get a voice Directed attention, I see it clear What I feed gon’ stay right here What I starve start disappear That’s the shift, that’s the gear They don’t gotta take nothing You hand it out for free Every second that you give That’s energy Not saying don’t enjoy it Not saying don’t engage But know what you’re building Every time you give it gaze You say you want peace But you scroll through war Say you want change But you replay more Same show, new name Same loop, new frame Then you wonder why it feel Like it never change Directed attention, that’s the move Not what they do—it’s what you choose What you hold, what you remove That’s what shape the view I ain’t fighting the system I’m deciding my sight What I look at grow strong What I drop lose its light Directed attention, that’s the code Not everything deserve to load What I follow, what I ignore That’s what open the door
