The Abridged Trials and Tribulations of the American Millennial
Fuck your salt
I’m just saying
Why is it pink and Himalayan?
As for your sea salt, it's no surprise
It's organic, coarse
And iodized
And don't get me started
I just recoil
Anytime I get the scent of that coconut oil
I don't care if it's organic and raw
That's the nastiest shit I ever saw
Your chocolate dont go below 75 percent
I'm glad it's vegan
But don't even begin
To tell me cocoa butter is made with dairy
The thought of drinking milk is kinda scary
When that cruelty
Is ignored so heavily
In this country
Number one cause of obesity
Sit down for a sec and watch Cowspiracy
I’ll start small, I’ll start in the kitchen
I’m just itchin
To roast some of your spices
That dried oregano smells like a quarter life crisis
And that rice
Cooker, unused on the shelf
seems like a promise to yourself
that was never delivered
To order less, cook more
Don't let them know know you haven't been to the grocery store
In 3 months
It's aight it's okay
That you don’t know how to cook an egg
Home ec’s gone and so is Health class
We all used to drink the liquor too fast
Cause we were never taught limits
The same way we learned physics
Like this isn't a game
Do you really think
That you can drink
The same
like you used to back in the day
When gettin caught with a fake was the biggest shame
Cause you couldn't even remember your own name
Or birth year and the card claims
Your high school graduation
Was during the Reagan administration
I remember when the worst thing to me
Was being underage, feelin like a baby
Drinking age ruining all my plans
Just know this shit would be fine in France
Red white and blue
Independence Day
But I can't buy an IPA
It's honestly cray
And pardon my jargon
I just wanna buy
A bottle of wine
Don't matter if it's dry or sweet
We can netflix and chill or watch GoT
Silicon Valley
Veep
HBO lineup makes it hard to go to sleep
At any reasonable hour
And that sour
Diesel makes shit louder
Than before
Hold the Door
But it's this generation you feel fam
We out here gettin woke af while stayin’ broke af
Cause knowledge is power til it stops being free
And you can't pay the loans AND the electricity
It's pretty shitty
When you think that In a city
Of 8 mill
You need five roommates to pay the heating bill
The rents too damn high
And the kids are too
Lighting a joint on the way to school
Nothin wrong with it, til you get busted
And the blue uniform you thought you trusted
To keep the city safe and nice
Has a grip on your throat like a vice
his knee on your back
But the white boy isn't catching any flack
A slap on the wrist, a ride home
When you KNOW he has that unlimited metrocard cause dad works for home
Land security
And if this made the news it
wouldn't be pretty
So we keep it hushed up.
Man this country all screwed up.
