B. Dolan - Selfie Sub
I've walked the hall of mirrors
With a heart that's made of glass
I've fallen toward reflections in the water
And been trapped
When this director needed cast
I played an extra in his crew
On the set, where they work and sweat
To make the cameras move
With angles used to draw the viewer through the picture
That's where I crossed paths with this bad Influencer
Looking sexy by device, she made an entrance in life
The man said "Let me introduce you to
Who's playing your wife"
Ok alright, I kept it polite
Entertainers better know
The default is Shut the Fuck Up and Be a Professional (still)
She rubbed my arms to keep her warm between takes
I said some shit that made her laugh
She's looking all in my face. Gave me the longest embrace
Now I'm beginning to wonder... she took a pic with my phone
Texted it to her number. I heard the thunder
When she gently took a hold of my hand
Whispered "let's get another one"
And passed the phone to her man
★ Pre-Chorus ★
She said:
"Take it again
I look bad in this picture. Where's the bag I left witcha?
Use a flash and a filter and
Take it again
Aim it up with the lens wide. This one neeeds a fresh eye
Get me from my best side
Take it again
I look good from this angle but my hair's getting tangled
Be a doll, be an angel baby
Take it again."
And he took what he was given like the picture of submission
That my whole life had been missing
★ Chorus ★
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (She had a Selfie Sub)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (A Selfie Sub)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (Not no Ordinary Love)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again
★ Verse 2 ★
So it's like... you and your man got a three way relationship
You're in love with Fame. He takes the pictures and pays for shit? (Yeah.)
What level game is this? Parasitic bait and switch
She said "I train a simp. You should join my mailing list."
But interest faded once she saw me push the button
Director hollered 'Cut' now it's a wrap all of a sudden
That's when I saw her Selfie Sub standing alone
I simply had to guess the code to try unlocking his phone
I told him:
"I couldn't help it but notice you manage talent
You rolling with a pro and you should know I'm not the average."
He looked me over quick, then turned around to face a wall
And motion in my face like he was taking a call
Yo hold up
I need a Selfie Sub to see me from the perfect view
To be the lens my imperfections can be filtered through
Where is the selfless love to document my very best?
Destroy the archives of hard drives and burn the rest
To share the love my future followers have yet to find
And never question when I tell you for the seventh time
★ Pre-Chorus ★
"Take it again
I look ugly in this shot. I need more than what we've got
All aboard, we on the Yacht about to
Take it again
To exotic destinations for our photo shoot locations
Where your private jet is waiting and we
Take it again
Aim it up, with the lens high, this one needs a fresh eye
Get me from my best side
Take it again"
And he took what he was given til she motioned to dismiss him
And his focus never shifted
★ Chorus ★
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (She had a Selfie Sub)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (A Selfie Sub)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again (Not no Ordinary Love)
Go. Post. Don't disturb me again
★ Outro: Yah-Ra ★
Beauty is traded as a form of currency
Certainly heightened when the world's in a constant
State of emergency when
Pornographic stimulation becomes as common as courtesy
And courtesy ain't common
Dreams of covergirl queens and nightmares of the bottom
Are we tail or head? Innocence we have robbed and no
Problems have been solved just made more complex
I digress
As I'm cashing the next check....
