Social Insecurities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sorry I’m not chained to LA
Can’t dance like Charli or Addison Rae
Wish I looked like the boys you’d see
Scrolling through your attractive FYP
All these pretty people don’t look like me
I look in the mirror and break my self esteem
They can make millions just smiling on screen
As I go in debt fighting for my degree
Should I say the n-word or post my nudes
Will it bring me money or change my mood
Cause’ I can work so hard and I’ll never be as good as you
Doesn’t matter if I’m racist or wrong
If you got a six pack then your problems are solved
And the algorithm will try to hide this song
[Chorus]
If I could look perfect
Would I still be hurting
Would I be the center of your screen
If I put on a filter
Would I be the victor
Of my social insecurities
Sorry I’m not chained to LA
Can’t dance like Charli or Addison Rae
Wish I looked like the boys you’d see
Scrolling through your attractive FYP
All these pretty people don’t look like me
I look in the mirror and break my self esteem
They can make millions just smiling on screen
As I go in debt fighting for my degree
Should I say the n-word or post my nudes
Will it bring me money or change my mood
Cause’ I can work so hard and I’ll never be as good as you
Doesn’t matter if I’m racist or wrong
If you got a six pack then your problems are solved
And the algorithm will try to hide this song
[Chorus]
If I could look perfect
Would I still be hurting
Would I be the center of your screen
If I put on a filter
Would I be the victor
Of my social insecurities
[Verse 2]
Sorry I’m not trying to be fake
Don’t have a hype house with fancy gates
Wish I could look in the mirror and say
You’re the only one who could make my day
Don’t wanna feel hyper-sexualized
But it’s what everybody has to do for likes
They can make millions just dancing on screen
As I break my back just to make ends meet
Should I grind for the camera or make a scene
Just click for part two and you’ll never leave
I can have raw talent but I’ll never be as seen
They don’t care what kind of person I am
It just matters how I appear to the fans
Cause’ at the end of the day it’s all about the cash
[Chorus]
If I could look perfect
Would I still be hurting
Would I be the center of your screen
If I put on a filter
Would I be the victor
Of my social insecurities
Sorry I’m not trying to be fake
Don’t have a hype house with fancy gates
Wish I could look in the mirror and say
You’re the only one who could make my day
Don’t wanna feel hyper-sexualized
But it’s what everybody has to do for likes
They can make millions just dancing on screen
As I break my back just to make ends meet
Should I grind for the camera or make a scene
Just click for part two and you’ll never leave
I can have raw talent but I’ll never be as seen
They don’t care what kind of person I am
It just matters how I appear to the fans
Cause’ at the end of the day it’s all about the cash
[Chorus]
If I could look perfect
Would I still be hurting
Would I be the center of your screen
If I put on a filter
Would I be the victor
Of my social insecurities
