Why they are addicted to the ... detox

In Consequence's song Screenshot, the artist delves deep into the modern-day addiction to social media through his personal experiences. The first line, "My screen shot is undisclosed.. block", implies that the singer's personal life is being exposed on social media, and they feel the need to block certain things to maintain some level of privacy. The following line, "why are they addicted to the..detox", indicates that the artist is discussing the dangerous and addictive nature of social media, which people tend to become so consumed by that they are unable to pull away.
The third line, "Before my knees..my knees block and my hands..", suggests that the artist is feeling physically affected by his addiction to social media. The line "because of the speed..of a drug dealer who took over the streets" further emphasizes the comparison between an addiction to social media and an addiction to drugs. The fourth line, "Billy got sleep hustle all night.. bussing all sit", refers to the singer working hard day and night, perhaps metaphorically hustling to keep up with the constant demand to maintain a social media presence.
The song touches on the theme of addiction in a modern, digital age, highlighting the negative impact it can have on individuals and society. It speaks to the pressure to constantly stay connected, be productive, and have a prominent online presence, which can cause individuals to lose their sense of self and their mental and physical well-being.
