Intro
Everything you say can be held against you In the court of public opinion Upload complete.
Verse 1
Used to shake a hand, look a man in the eye Now we screenshot texts just to catch 'em in a lie Saving every DM like it’s ammo for the war Trust is out the window, we don't use it anymore Keep the brightness low when you typing in the dark Waiting for the slip up, yeah we waiting for the spark Friendship is a contract, break it and you pay Evidence is mounting up, we post it same day
Pre-chorus
No jury, no judge, just the timeline feed They don't want the truth, they just want to see you bleed Click send, refresh, watch the comments go insane We turn a private problem into public entertainment
Chorus
Welcome to the Screenshot Court, rise and stand Gavel is an iPhone resting in my hand Loyalty is pixelated, love is just a sport Life without a filter in the Screenshot Court
Verse 2
Dating in the open, yeah negotiations loud Mistakes ain't a lesson, they just fodder for the crowd Group chat looking like a grand jury in the case Captions doing numbers while you hiding out your face "I told you so" becomes the anthem of the week Exposing every secret that you really shouldn't speak Conflict is the content, lying is the brand Destroying reputation for a couple hundred grand
Bridge
Digital footprints walking on your neck Does it make you happy or just keep the ego checked? We trade a conversation for a viral moment's high But when the phone is off, you still lonely in the eye
Verse 3
Now the tables turn and the camera pointing back Living in a glass house, waiting for the crack If you live for the receipts, you gonna die by the post The ones who talk the loudest always hiding the most Lesson for the young ones, wisdom for the old Some stories act like gold but they really mostly mold Keep it off the net if you want to keep it real Or end up as a villain in the final highlight reel
Chorus
Welcome to the Screenshot Court, rise and stand Gavel is an iPhone resting in my hand Loyalty is pixelated, love is just a sport Life without a filter in the Screenshot Court
Outro
Case dismissed? Nah, the internet never forgets. Logged off.
Inside the recording
Everything you say can be held against you In the court of public opinion
No jury, no judge, just the timeline feed They don't want the truth, they just want to see you bleed
Case dismissed? Nah, the internet never forgets.
