Net Neutrality
Let’s get to it, I don’t have a lot of time, I’m here to talk to you all about a very important issue - net neutrality, now I spoke about this a couple of years back and now we’re here, the internet service providers are tryna take the internet from us as we know it
Hook:
Want a fair and open internet
We want a fair and balanced internet (net neutrality)
Don’t wanna see you slow down the internet
We want the internet and no end to that
We want a fair and open internet
Want a fair and balanced internet
Don’t wanna see you slow down the internet
We want the internet and no end to that (net net neutrality)
Verse 1:
So you wanna take the internet?
Cable providers are not finished yet?
Time has caught up to Comcast and they hate it
Feel the competition huh? Hate your low ratings?
Well here’s a tip ‘cause I know it’s frustrating
When I call customer service, don’t have me waiting
(*automated voice message*:
I’ll transfer your call to a customer account executive
Who can assist with your request, please hold)
It makes me angry that lady you automating
I just wanna speak to a human being, she ain’t relating
This is why I go to Netflix for the best pics
Documentaries they got y’all don’t mess with
Where else I’ma hear somebody expose
The food industry and all the ones you prolly promote
See I’m all about the grind and the independent hustle
You about the lies so the internet is trouble
So I wrote this song for the independent struggle
Independent people pushing independent muscle
Net neutrality

Verse 2:
Should I keep flowin’?
Give me a second I’m still loadin-in-in-in-in-in-in’
That’s what’ll happen if them folks win
Time willer I’m realer the people’s spokesman
I’m seein’ past the Verizon and realizin’
The jobs to be lost in the time when
The economic climate is too far from vibrant
Jobs shipped abroad, the rest turn robotic
I read it on Reddit the internet providers
Do not wanna provide us equally so they plotted
“lets create a fast lane and a slow lane
The fast lane will be everything the slow ain’t
Really fast, really swift, really on it”
Ok what’s the catch?
“Duh, you’ll pay a arm and leg for it”
So if you like House of Cards like I do
Stand up to them ISPs, that’s what I do
Hook:

Verse 3:
In conclusion, the confusion
Is how we can claim a democracy and lose it
In America we say we promote it
Of the developed world our internet’s the slowest
One of the slowest, don’t quote me but I know this
If I needed to check those facts I wouldn’t load it
And the reason [?] enough time to have it open
It get to what I need so I can get back to flowin’
So I support internet slowdown day
Net neutrality’s a must if you know now they
