lyrics: |
  I wanna consume ya
  Like now and forever
  Your front back and center
  Another little bite of your soul

  Your digital footprint
  I'm building a blueprint
  Forever has never been
  As close as it
  Really seems to get everyday

  We used to take the long road
  But now I never have to feel so lonely
  I keep you in my pocket
  Never gonna stop it

  I wanna consume ya
  Like now and forever
  Your front back and center
  Another little bite of your soul

  Your digital footprint
  I'm building a blueprint
  Forever has never been
  As close as it
  Really seems to get everyday

  I'm your 5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby
  5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby

  Shawty used to hit me on aim
  She had me wired up
  Always hit up faster
  Even though we both had the dial up

  Call me on the way
  And I would meet you bout a mile up
  Never could be night
  Cuz it's feeling like it's time's up

  Venmo
  Crypto
  Testla
  iG come find me
  Connecting at the crevice overwhelming

  Sha
  Sha
  Shawty used to hit my aim
  Your had me wired up
  So so many wires
  Now it makes sense that we tied up

  I'm your 5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby
  5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby

  I wanna consume ya
  Like now and forever
  Your front back and center
  Another little bite of your soul

  Your digital footprint
  I'm building a blueprint
  Forever has never been
  As close as it
  Really seems to get everyday

  I'm your 5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby
  5G baby
  Make me your 5G baby

Standalone single (**November 19, 2021** · Beformer), not on [*Big Hug*](/albums/big-hug/) or [*KŌAN*](/albums/koan/). Co-written with **Robel Ketema** and **Cary Singer**, with Robel Ketema featured on the track.

The hook makes appetite into intimacy: *I wanna consume ya / another little bite of your soul*. Love as data harvest, the phone as the container the whole relationship lives in, loneliness made optional because *I keep you in my pocket*.

The second verse runs the always-on economy from dial-up AIM through Venmo, crypto and IG to the punchline: *so so many wires / now it makes sense that we tied up*. The title leans into the same 5G it sexualizes, the network that during the pandemic also got blamed for spreading the virus by [conspiracy theorists](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7205032/). Here it just means never lonely on the long road again. Same lane as [*All My Friends Live on the Internet*](/songs/all-my-friends-live-on-the-internet/), hornier and poppier.
