"The Smash" lyrics

Tell me
Am I supposed to be suicidal
When I'm just writing a song?
Am I
Narcissi-ssistic
Or is everybody wrong?

Apparently, my album isn't finished
Because it needs the banger in it
And I told myself I shouldn't listen
As I sat down with a pen

Should I take some pride in not rhyming
Or should I make a meaningless song?
Because in my head, I'm better than the people
That just do it so you sing along
Yup

And mind you
I don't make money yet, but I think I'm getting close
I can not afford a vehicle
I cannot afford clothes
I have a hundred songs I made this year
But I only like nine
Should I do what I like
Or should I do it for you?

Should I take some pride in not rhyming
Or should I make a meaningless song?
Because in my head, I'm better than the people
That just do it so you sing along

I'm only trying to impress
Me, my brother, and my wife
I fucking hate my old music
'Cause I barely wrote a line
So I told myself until I die
I gotta do it my way
'Cause what's the point of living out your dream
If it's something you hate?

I'm gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope (Fellas)
I'm gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope that I get lucky
Gonna take my time and hope—
