It's official, our society has reached peak meta. 

Memes have a way of getting into our daily lives. First there was, well, every Emoji ever and then we were #blessed with the trend that was Netflix and Chill. But now pop culture has completely crossed over, thanks to the release of Ty Dolla $ign's latest track.

The rapper followed in the footsteps of Drake and Beyoncé and announced the release of his new mixtape—on Twitter, of course. The album is so aptly-named Airplane Mode. That's right, Airplane Mode.

The entire thing drops tomorrow, but Ty made the title track available this afternoon. And it's about, you guessed it, airplane mode. What would Steve Jobs think?

In the case of this song, Ty isn't rapping about how annoying it is to have to switch off your phone after you board a plane, but rather how airplane mode can help you, ahem, manage the constant influx of women. Problems we all have, right?

The rapper gets right to the point of the song, starting off with "So much kush in my system damn I can't remember what her motherf--king name was/ So many bitches mad at me right now 'cause I won't give them a shoulder to lean on/ These days gotta keep my phone on airplane mode to dodge these hoes/ These days gotta n---a walking around with two phones to dodge these hoes." 

It's hard out there for Ty Dolla $ign, amirite?

That's the extent of the lyrics we can publish in good conscience, but trust that this isn't exactly your grandmother's song about a fun iPhone feature. And we wouldn't be surprised if this is only the beginning of the super meta music. It should only be a matter of time before someone records a song about emojis—Drake, we're looking at you. And Tinder? Don't even get us started on all the musical possibilities. 

In the meantime, just enjoy the sweet, sweet sounds of "Airplane Mode."
