lyrics

Chorus:
And they huff
And they puff
And they show you it's not good enough
Do what it takes
For accolades
To resonate

Verse 1:
I had a fight with my lady, damn
Which made me think of my good friend, Dan
With his proclamations and his love citations
To his wife again and again
Well, he doesn’t really have a vice
Though I’ve probably only met him twice
But I see his missives and his hugs and kisses
And the filter on the photo’s nice
Yeah, Dan is savage
At the gym with his camera snappin’
That photo is the proof it happened
On his Instagram
So modest with his humblebraggin’
And ya know, I would never @ him
Cuz he must be perfect
Based on what I have observed and
I’m sure that is what I need
To feel some purpose
Pure platitudes on my feed
For my life to be complete

Chorus:
And they huff
And they puff
And they show you it's not good enough
Do what it takes
For accolades
To resonate

Verse 2:
Yeah, every day is show and tell
Everyone’s got that new life smell
With chroma-keyed scenes and TikTok dreams
Of monsieurs and mademoiselles
What path can I take to get
A cachet and clicks effect
Cuz the Joneses focus surely ain’t the lotus
Yo, attention is the coin of the net
Jump cut to Neil
Top down pics of all his meals
Wish I had that kind of appeal
To share with the world
Is he having a boy or girl?
Tune into that gender reveal
And more than the rest
His arguments are the best
It’s affirmation if you disagree
That he’s correct
Wish his shoes were on my feet, yeah
That’s it. That’s the tweet

Chorus:
And they huff
And they puff
And they show you it's not good enough
Do what it takes
For accolades
To resonate

Bridge:
Dignity!?
What's it ever really bought for me?
Yeah, it's a win for me when content is king
Lesson 3, if you agree: hastag A D
My high lifestyle key new wave Pay Day
Meet my fee, and I'll eat these all day
Then I'll make a mint unboxing NFTs
But first I gotta sell these oils and beads
Yeah, debt depth reaching my eyeballs at least
But I'm cool to my friends that I've never seen
Online likes rise as I drink G Fuel
Hanging with my best bride by the side of my new pool
I'll smile while I walk in mile in your soles/souls,
Deliver up control to Door Dash or Khols
No I'm not for sale, but before you go
It's an AD read; be sure to use my code
#WE'RESOLD

Verse 3:
Now I wish I could get more fans
Like my friends that live in their van
Every second of their lives is streamed worldwide
Ring that bell, like, and subscribe
Yeah, to feed that fam of five
These kids gotta get monetized
Yeah, they'll be thankful later for that dash of fame
And recognized as an Uber driver
And I’m here for it
Gotta get that influence
I know a guy that got some clicks
Standing next to a bear
That’s how to live loud, I swear
I wonder why I haven’t seen him since
Whenever there’s a disaster
I’ll pose looking sober after
Going shirtless, yo, to win
Gotta keep 'em thirstin'
'Til I get them benjamins
For inking brands right on my skin

Chorus:
And they huff
And they puff
And they show you it's not good enough
Do what it takes
For accolades
To resonate
