lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna impress you with my references & my poise,
the way I stick to talking points, my commitment to being employed.
You know giving birth is major, to spit a verse is a favor,
with patient claims & pay to play they charge you for your labor.
So my boss happened to stumble on this song I made on Youtube,
& he wasn't pleased, cuz publicly I'm supposed to keep it neutral,
but I love this underground tightrope walk, it's in my nature.
They made it easy to be an entertainer but took away the danger,
let me tell you!

[Verse 2]
Now I've been looking diligent, filling in a bunch of applications:
job Tidal, Spotify/Fiverr, Amazon & Apple stations.
Not looking for princely pay, or to rock the biggest stage,
be cool to be rich someday, but I'm good with a living wage,
chip away at this loan, cable & phone, baby at home, save for my own,
but soon as I get in position to kick it they've been relocating the goal.
Found out stream revenue ain't shit, get a new revenue stream instead,
so we looked for plugs & booked some clubs, now the venue scene is dead?
Let me tell you!

[Verse 3]
Mi canto es un canto libre, pues lo mas gratis me piden,
libre hasta asesinato, estadio, estado.
Ask Victor how they did him, put 40 bullets in him,
but at least they gave the spot his name & now they charge admission.
It's bigger than hip-hop, my shifts drop,
but I need to please the cheese or else my chips stop.
Phil watched as his nirvana died, I don't know what made him wanna slide,
but he got up out the war before his sword could be commodified.
