lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t wanna be idolized
Nobody gets the lyrics but I pay that price
Art has never felt less like art
Yeah sure, you’re making money but it ain’t from the heart
Sipping champagne
And making sure that everybody knows their name
Fake outfits
Get them staring, networking is so lit

[Pre-Chorus]
Someday they gonna wear the crown
People gonna think of them as winner of the town
And their momma’s gonna cry
Cause they made it that high
And their friends are gonna see
Screaming, “Who the fuck is she?!“

[Chorus]
This industry
I don’t wanna be a part of it
I’ll risk it all
Then I’ll just never be relevant
I used to be a kid with a dream
And now all I see is plastic and paper
I might not make it
I might be failing
At least I can say
I did it my way

[Verse 2]
I imagine this big school yard
Where everybody cares if they’re cool or not
The bad business guys never care
They wanna find the new shit but just sit and stare

[Pre-Chorus]
Someday I’m gonna wear the crown
People gonna think of me as winner of the town
And my haters gonna stare
And the business men will swear
All the phonies will be horrified
I’ll bring an end to all the lies

[Chorus]
This industry
I don’t wanna be a part of it
I’ll risk it all
Then I’ll just never be relevant
I used to be a kid with a dream
And now all I see is plastic and paper
I might not make it
I might be failing
At least I can say

[Bridge]
I never sold my soul for diamonds and gold
I never tried to change to get my art sold
And I know it ain’t easy to sell the truth
But I‘ll take that challenge
And I swear that I will never settle for less
I will always try and give my best
I know god will always put me to the test
And I‘ll take that challenge

[Chorus]
This industry
I don’t wanna be a part of it
I’ll risk it all
Then I’ll just never be relevant
I used to be a kid with a dream
And now all I see is plastic and paper
I might not make it
I might be failing
At least I can say
I did it my way
