I can't seem to get you off my mind
The singer is constantly thinking about something or someone.

Turn on the station, but I'm still facing you and
Even when the singer listens to the radio, he can't stop thinking about what's on his mind.

Everbody seem to lost their mind
People are becoming increasingly irrational.

It's hard to handle, so I, change the channel on the
The situation is difficult to deal with, so the singer switches to another radio station.

Radio, 'cause internet killed the radio star
The internet has made radio less relevant than it used to be.

Radio, and YouTube, killed the video star

Hit the radio
Listen to the radio.

We can make a, make a video
We can create a music video.

Now I'm a star

Picture me rollin' Pac, it's funny how time has changed

Everybody's a critic now, it's all a debate on the internet wave
The rise of the internet has made everyone an expert on music and art, resulting in endless debates and criticism.

It used to be you and Biggie, Chili Pepper's "Give It Away"
In the past, there were fewer artists to choose from, such as Biggie and Chili Peppers.

Now we got ten year-olds sitting back in a chair like "those were the days"
Young people today think that things were better in the past, even if they weren't alive then.

And though it seems so amazing to me that the labels lost the touch
Record labels are no longer as influential or important as they used to be.

And I'm in the AM, flipping through the A.M. like I lost my crutch, limpin'
The singer feels lost or incomplete without the radio, but still switches between channels.

Cause I can't walk straight if I can't turn it up, sippin'

I need some Gin and Juice, Snoop Dogg, I brought my cup

And play some group home or something

You'll never hear Black Star cause the program director is mostly deaf
The program director only plays certain music, regardless of its quality or popularity.

And you'll never hear triple six cause we live in the midst of the Bible Belt
Certain music is censored or avoided due to religious or cultural beliefs in certain areas.

But that's when the light is filled, so let it shine
In the face of censorship, some artists create even better work.

Let em' rhyme, let em' hustle, let em grind
Artists should be allowed to work hard and make the music they want.

Nothing wrong with the truth sometimes
It's important to be truthful, even if it's not always pleasant.

Sometimes, the truth is dark but the darkness sparks the truest art
Sometimes pain and darkness can lead to great art.

And you didn't even know you a window till a tornado blew it apart
Sometimes it takes a disaster to realize one's true potential.

If Eric Clapton could sing about cocaine, then there's no harm

Pick up the change, pick up the change

Ride in a Chevy cause I'm sick of the Range

Come inside, if your sick of the rain
The singer invites someone to come inside if they don't like the rain.

Turn the radio off and don't complain
If someone doesn't like the music on the radio, they should simply turn it off instead of complaining.

It's all a replay, it's all the same
Everything on the radio sounds the same and is repetitive.

Got one drag, on a runaway train

On a one way street better pick your lane
