Lyrics This Narcissism Thing - Akira the Don, Scott Adams

This Narcissism Thing

Two epidemics that are interacting which each other
One is the loneliness, and the other is narcissism
I believe narcissicm has gone from something that people had and you could stay
away from them
To something closer to an epidemic
And I think social media has done that
What I’ve learned about this narcissicm thing
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were
great, thought they wer great
I used to think it was peopl who thought they were great, this narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
And the way they deal their broken self-esteem, is by belittling other people
Or one upping them, bragging, putting them down, shutting them down,
thwarting them in any way you can
Now I used to look as those people cause there everywhere
But man are there more of them?
There are right, and I think it’s because people who might have been sort of on
the border in that way just got pushed over the edge by social media
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were
great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
Imagine living in a world where everybody is criticising everybody for
everything
That’s our world, we live in a world where everybody is criticising everybody
for everything
Imagine that
How would you like to be a teenager and be criticised on everything
That shirt you wore that one day, that embarrassing thing you did just once,
but somebody saw it
But you’re not as pretty or as handsome or as strong or as good at sports as
this other person
It’s gotta be devastating, devastating
And there’s just more of it, because it’s in your face and you are seeing the
impossible images of people you want to be like, but you’re not etcetera
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were
great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were
great, thought they were great
I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing
It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great
It’s about people who have broken self esteem
Just completely broken
