Why We Buy (Subliminal Messages)

This A Blast From The Past

I was 18 when I wrote this how lame lol



Wow! I feel corny lls...but I wanted to share any ways

so tell me what you think and be honest :)

Did you hear those words underneath the loud lyrics

or was you just a victim of your inner desires

that held you hostage in this game

of supply and demand.

We’re you oblivious, or did you just lack self-control.

Either way you didn’t walk to the beat of

your own drum and now you stand still

in line wondering how did you get here in the first place.

See your conscious mind told you

that it wasn’t okay to buy that, but the

waves within sound system told you otherwise.

While you thought you were

listening to Janet Jackson over those speakers,

there were subliminal messages that attacked

your mind like a plague on your immune system.

With your brain occupied, your reasoning becomes impaired

 leaving you capable of buying any

and everything the store has to offer.

When you realized you were home

your brain took back over and as you go

to open your bags: a Mariah Carey CD

Who the f ck bought that!
