Transcript excerpt

This song is dedicated to TikTok. I miss you baby girl. Please come home. And I wait. And you can't fight the talks that ain't coming or the US Supreme Court and the lies. And when everything feels like the YouTube's yeah. You're real, Jessica. No. You're alive. And I don't want much Zuckerberg to see me because I don't think that he'd understand when everything is broken. I want TikTok back on my phone. I want TikTok back on my phone. Oh, I worst a little bit.
