The Appendix - Don't Get Distracted Lyrics

Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted

You know what I noticed
The focus - on brands being promoted
They always gon' have supporters
They do not need our endorsements
We got friends with their own brands
That's always posting on socials
Seems like - double taps are too much to ask
People can't seem to afford that

Good luc' to the brothers and sisters
Who moving their lotions and creams
Hoodies and Tees, jac'ets, jeans
Cosmetics, dresses, Bracelets, beads
Live out your dreams
Just know - if you got a restaurant
I'm pulling up there to eat
Save me a seat
And I don't care how long you've know me
Remember, nothing for free

Exclusive or lease
Cito gets paid for all of these beats
If I could
I'll buy out his catalog
And you'd hit me up, to be featured
I come with heat, folks don't want beef
You should know, they would get ethered
Their fan base come down with amnesia
Like I don't recall this person you speak of

I bet in a summer
XXL would want me on a cover
But if they don't feature
My brothers on come ups
I'll hit em up like "we ain't coming"
We gotta get to the bag
Turn all our plans into actions
We gotta make some things happen
And avoid all the distractions

Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted

Nothing gonna change
Whatever the date
You see on the calendar now
Whether you blac' or you brown
Police still hassle
And tac'le you down
Shac'le or clap a few a rounds
Bet you it's happening now
In or outside of your town
How many is that, what's the count

I'd wager a large amount
Bodies keep dropping in scores
While you put money in Bitcoin
I might invest in these morgues
So numb like I've been embalmed
It's rare that I show no remorse
But schools get shot up so often
Our thoughts and prayers don't reach the lord

Complaints might get to your senators
But never end up in the courts
Restrictions on weapons so loose
Those who got guns, shoot for sport - like
How many you hit, before emptying clips and have to reload
Why is it always a white man
They taking in safely
And claim that he did it alone

Feels like it's scripted
The image depicted
We've seen it again and again
Like marquees on ESPN
Is there a beginning or
Even an end
Seems like we just pretend
Turn our attention
To meaningless trends
Some people
Might not get the message
Or write one
And never hit send

Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted

The news you see on your feed
A lot of it you do not need
A lot of it's memes
And You may have seen
That they're just obscene
And only Make fun of our people
Yet we share with our people
And tear down our people

See ourselves in mirrors
But ignore the evils
We take all these selfies
And add all these filters
And we never seem happy
So we just alter our image to fit in
The funny thing is
Those we look up to
Ain't themselves to begin with

Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted
Don't Get Distracted
Don't, Don't Get Distracted

Don't
