"I Don't Want To Be Famous" lyrics

"I Don't Want To Be Famous"

I don't want to be famous
I just want to write a song
And be able to pay rent here in LA
Is that so wrong?
I swear to God we all went crazy
And said artists go get fucked
What you work so hard on should be free
Now go get a real job

So here I am
Doing what I do
Singing songs to you
Letting out my pain
So you can say dang
I do relate
But if you think I'll pay
Give me a break

Spotify saved artists
At least the ones at the top
Enjoy your crumbs at the bottom
Good luck if you suck
Cause artist development
Takes too much time
Let us know when you make something
That the algorithm Gods do like

So here I am
Doing what I do
Singing songs to you
Letting out my pain
So you can say dang
I do relate
But if you think I'll pay
Give me a break

Now everybody say wait
What does he mean
Why is he mad
I pay every month
Write better songs
You really do suck
This song doesn't rhyme
Get with the times
Have you tried Tik-Tok
Or just giving up
I think that you just
Don't have what it takes
This is so deep
He just complains
Haters will hate

So here I am
Doing what I do
A down chorus too
With a different chord
So you can say dang
I do relate
But if you think I'll pay
Give me a break

Go get a real job
