Don't talk at me, don't insult me
Don't claim to be an artist for the social novelty
Nothing to stand on, quality nor quantity,
Suddenly nervous when asked "Where is your discography?"
Artist who don't make, musicians who don't create.
Claiming to be that just to ostentate,
New week new hair new thing
Trying so hard to be a novelty
It's not meant to be precious, it's not meant to be exciting
Empty artists with nothing to say,
Hollow songs and shallow topics
Comfortable lives and comfortable upbringings
Rich kids taking their parents' liberties
Okay so sing about wishing you could run naked down the street,
Sing about a guy u met on tinder
While I'm sitting next to a self-proclaimed spiritual healer
Says she aspires to be an actor while she scrolls insta
Okay you're forward and assertive but
You've not got the hours to back it up
Always asking for money but I know you're far from broke
Insist on showing me what you can do with your meaningless lines,
You're only good with lines when it's with your nostrils & coke
Shout out to the girl giving out socials at the end of the jam night
Screaming out her handles on stroked ego as she left stage right
Took my phone & typed her number assuming a green light
Nah girl I'm feeling like you need to rewrite and recite
Spit out your silver spoon
I'm a warrior at peacetime

(Instrumental)
Maybe I'm just bitter cos I never had that support.
Maybe if I had that background I would've been in accord.
Go back on my word, hypocritical, unexplored.
People raised on love see the world differently to
People raised on survival
An honest man has nothing to fear,
So I'm trying hard not to be afraid
I'm in my golden years
Van Goghing like his last 10 years, embracing all fears.
