I could write a record full of radio songs
Do a bunch of features that I don't even like
Just to build up the hype, yeah
I could sell my house and move out to LA
with the biggest of names
Hire fifty people just to give me advice
on the way I should write
Yeah, sounds like a nightmare, if you ask me
Yeah, went from my bedroom
Wouldn't work, but worked out,
Didn't keep me from success,
who'd kill to get a number one
I had to hear, "That song's a hit"
But nowadays, I don't really give a- (what?)
Might catch me at the award show
Eatin' popcorn in the back row
Catchin' Z's with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No
Yeah, you heard the sayin'
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it", that's my motto
Yeah, I miss buyin' CDs at the store
And thumbin' through the cases
Yeah, that don't make no sense to you?
See, one man's inconvenience
Wow, wow, how are you unemployed?
Telling me to get a life,
Hope you break both of your legs
(Oh, snap) this is the industry
Where it ain't how big you are,
Where people sacrifice the art
Then they wonder why they music's
Oh, yeah, would've gave anything
To be respected by the artist
To, but not no more, them days are history
Skip the red carpet, you lookin' for me?
You might catch me at the award show
Eatin' popcorn in the back row
Catchin' Z's with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No
Yeah, you heard the sayin'
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it", that's my motto
You got the trophy, that's great
I'm happy for you, no hate
Still got a smile on my face
Chillin' in the back like, "Ayy"
You might catch me at the award show
Eatin' popcorn in the back row
Catchin' Z's with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No
Yeah, you heard the sayin'
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it", that's my motto
