Creative Freedom
Yeah, get that BPM a little faster
We gotta make sure people like this right away
We need every fan and every brand behind us
We need you to do this our way
Here's your written caption
Here's what you should post
And the time that you should do it
Here's the credits, here's the tags
And here, Lauren
Here's the contract that says you'll do it
Every time I felt the pressure
They say just remember
It's a normal feeling
You're not selling out
Nothing's too commercial
You said you want this, don't ya?
You're an up and coming artist, aren't ya?
You're a star, girl suck it up
Yeah I know you got a message
But the message that you got's
Just not enough
Your demos, they're alright
But that song with PnB, yeah that shit slapped
Talked to this producer, Lauren
He thinks he could beat that
Said he'd send a beat pack
And you know, come to think of it
Here's a writer
She can write your story with you
Honestly, she might tell it better
Here's a hook and here's my checkbook
Just make sure that you listen, Lauren
She knows things, done this forever
And we just, we just think you need a transformation
Bein' realistic with ya
We see your ideas
But you're moving too fast, Lauren
Too, too fast
We need a couple more months
You should hold off
Tell your fans you'll be back
(Voicemail from dad)
Lauren, man, you did not work this hard to have somebody else hold you back. You gotta remember all the way back when we were on our way to Niagara Falls and we stopped, I think it was Point Heron, Michigan, for your very first meet-up! And I'm not sure who was more excited, you or the fans. But I remember you signing taco wrappers and, uh, just recognizing that there was something really crazy going on. And um, I kinda told you, you know since you were just a little baby, you know, "I love you. I'm proud of you. And I think, in fact I know, that you are very special." And now I think you gotta go with "Love, FORMER Epic recording artist" and now "madly, wildly independent as hell recording artist" Lauren Sanderson. I love you, Bug. Go get 'em
