lyrics

I’m searching for these middle men while they’re chasing dividends
and I still pretend that they’re on the way
sit and wait while I waste a day
and they thrive on the aimless
with all of these dreams of being famous
and they’re just lying straight through their teeth
if they told you that music’s going to be painless
my dreams were crushed so that I could fall in love again
with my pen and my poetry
and now my poverty it don’t bother me
so until the bitter end
ill find a different way to spend
my energy by finding methods closer to reality

So don’t hold your breath because nobody’s gonna save you they’ve gotta get paid to pay you and money is the only way that they’ll aid you

I keep my mind on the music and flow my personality through it
just as long as I can construe this
then ill find a place of congruence
not all these labels are evil yo some of them are just people
tryin to make cash off of their passion but still treat you like an equal
so if you can feed you family by getting fans to jam with me
and keep us all out cubicles then that’s symbiotic and its beautiful
so help should be accepted if you feel that they’ve connected
with your project and your vision but we gotta stay protected

Chorus

but I wanna rule the world with my way of words
and I will fill this page until the snakes are purged
and I’ve got an urge ive gotta find a way
to turn predator into prey and I say
that we break the mold and become the bold
and on the day that my story is told ill die broke
but at least they can say that my soul was never sold
but now im feelin great it’s just me and you
an independent man and I’m pushin through
these fabricated lines
between your ears and my mind
so when you find an artist that you respect
spread the word so you’ll protect
everything that they’re fighting for
you fuel the core when you explore

Chorus
