Industry

I wish it was still only about the music
I wish I'd find direction if I did I'd use it
It's no different
I'm the same one that I came as
cnd I'm feeling like I've wasted all this time mad
It's a new pressure
When they start paying attention to you
Pain and pleasure
Solely measured
On what you can do

I've been trying to check off all the boxes
Blood sweat tears dripping down the faucet
If it was only about the music then I got it
It's getting harder to pursue the process

I've been trying to pick up all the pieces
Base my worth off of my achievements
If it was only about the music then I got it
I knew before but man the industry is toxic
Toxic
No No
Toxic
No No

It's always under one condition
Three more albums just to get them all to listen
I feel like I'm not even living
Farthest I go some days is to the kitchen
I used to dream of this
I used to feign for this
I'm good all on my own
But I need a team for this
I got more love to give
But lately I'm feeling defeated
I swore I earned my flowers years ago
It's way past season
Need no reasons
I need no reasons to flourish
But y'all are breaking my heart
cnd sometimes it feels like on purpose
cnd before I sign the paper
Best believe I make it known
That I just do this for my Savior
While He watches from His throne like

I've been trying to check off all the boxes
Blood sweat tears dripping down the faucet
If it was only about the music then I got it
It's getting harder to pursue the process

I've been trying to pick up all the pieces
Base my worth off of my achievements
If it was only about the music then I got it
I knew before but man the industry is toxic
Toxic
No No
Toxic
No No
