Popularity Means Nothing

Lyrics

[Verse 1: sn8kebytez] Wake up early and put on the same makeup That those pretty girls on Insta use Tryna change myself to fit the mold Here we go again, letting other people shape me whole I don't need it all, I just need to find myself and goals Machetes hurt, so do your words Why should my social status define my worth? [Monologue: Miles Martinez, sn8kebytez] To me, popularity doesn't define your worth (Am I meant to like you?) Just because someone is liked or admired by many (Just because your finances work?) Doesn't automatically mеan they hold true value or dеpth (Am I meant to bow to you?) Often, people are drawn to what's popular or easy to like And that doesn't equate to meaningful connections or real sub— (Popularity's a concept that burns) Substance, excuse me The most important thing is staying true to who you are (Am I meant to be jealous?) Regardless of how others perceive you Be popular for the right reasons Yeah, be popular for the right reasons (Am I meant to treat you like a goddess?) And, I mean it's fleeting but like- (Am I meant to treat you like a feather?) Personal integrity and authenticity The whole like— long lasting significance (Hah-ahh) Are way better than like trying to be this person (Hah-ahh) For people that don't care for you for real So it's like, just be true to yourself Popularity don't mean nothing (Hah-ahh) [Verse 2: sn8kebytez] Foreign concepts corrupting their minds And all I can do is watch it burn and die Rotting all their brains to be known online Popularity's nothing when the hype dies When you're balancing on yet another thin line When you risk your body just for two likes When you sell dishonesty just for a spotlight Popularity means nothing when you're dying inside Dying inside, when-when you don't know why [Outro: Miles Martinez, sn8kebytez] You know, I told my brother the same thing (You even try) When he was going into middle school He was always like (Anymore) "Oh, I'mma get a girlfriend" "Oh, I'm gonna be on the football team" "I'm gonna be the top player and everything" I was like (Anymore) "What about your grades? What about doing good for yourself?" You don't need to impress people (Anymore) You don't need a girlfriend You don't need to be on the football team (Don't chase fantasy) You can have those things Yes, you can dearly have them But it's like (It never worked out for me) What's about what's right for you? What about the things you need to do in your life (So I started grounding me) To be the person that you wanna be? (And all their words meant nothing) Not the person that everybody else wants you to be (And I finally felt like something) (Popularity means nothing)
