Lyrics
Didn’t see enough niggas playing guitar so I learned it
Loud mouth asshole without your respect so I guess I had to earn it
A lot of narrow one way bridges so you’re goddamn right I burned them
Too many people hung up on status over style so you’re goddamn right we turned them
But every time I read a tweet
saying we should be headliners and staying in suites
I must admit it bothers me
Because I thought we were where we’re supposed to be
I thought I had all the credentials
But am I wasting my potential?
I could stay a D lister, a no name
Or I could write a manifesto with Noname
Because all of our so-called peers have known for some time
That their whole album couldn’t fuck with one line
I want my flowers now, not one second after we call it quits
I want a livable wage without resorting to car commercials and Greatest Hits
What hits?
Because I’m uncomfortable at the thought of a million people knowing my name
I didn’t set out to do this for the fame
The goal was always keep it blue collar, create something that we could sustain
More money would be nice, yeah, but I always refused to play the fucking game
But should I play?
Should I play?
Wouldn't you kill to be in the same position as me?
Should I play?
Should I play?
What would you do if you were me?
Oh, I just don’t fucking know
So just play that fucking instrumental
‘Cause, fuck, would do I do?
Do I play the game or stay talking shit with you?
