The Music Industry - Tom MacDonald

Lyrics by：Tom MacDonald/Nova Paholek

Composed by：Tom MacDonald/Nova Paholek

Look at all the rappers that the games killed

Record labels making billions why can't artists even pay bills

You get taken advantage of if you take deals

They're the devil ain't no angels in the outfield

You get you chains and a bracelet maybe a fake grill

You get you paid and you're famous baby it ain't real

Couple milli think you made it

But the record label take it when you overdose on alcohol and pain pills

Gimme a pen and pad I'm gonna get in the lab

I'm gonna kill 'em with tracks I'ma deliver the facts

Nobody holding me back labels are tricking the fans

Rappers are industry plans everything planned

I ain't brain dead never signed a deal it don't make sense

Never let a label manipulate what I've made yet

Invading the industry independently I break in

Kill the gatekeepers with a blade leave the gate bent

Mainstream rappers see the fame wanna break bread

Soul ain't for sale never sellout tryna pay rent

Illuminati puppets the industry hail Satan

The devil making deals I won't shake hands

Independent underrated these other rappers all hate it

Going viral with no label with no manager or agent

Call my momma I've got commas and the money going crazy

And she crying tryna tell me that she's happy for her baby like

Ooh ayy

Finally got that deal got a pen in my hand

Ooh ayy

Like how you tryna buy who the hell I am

You can keep your cash I'm not that broke

I won't sign no contract I do me

Y'all are cancelled stealing people's dreams how can you sleep

It's a rap pose throwing cash in Lambos

I'm independent 'til I'm dead I quit the music industry

Artists really only wanna chase dreams

We're broke all our lives begging labels "Please take me"

Tricked us into thinking getting deals is a great thing

Spent our whole careers tryna break free

The fans say they love us tryna give 'em music they need

Label doesn't like it that ain't mainstream

You're looking in the mirror like "What happened man this ain't me"

I guess that I just don't see what they see

Gimme a mic and a booth I'm gonna die for the truth

I'm gonna fight for the youth I don't got nothing to lose

Labels are hiding the proof look I'ma give you a clue

Illuminati symbols are the logos major labels use

They're calling me an industry plant I giggle and laugh

I'm the total opposite of what they want I'm spitting the facts

I make songs about the honest things you whisper to fam

I've exposed the government they wanna kill me for that

I've put the pedophile s*x cults on infinite blast

I leaked the industry secrets and I did it with rap

How dare you try to say that my intentions aren't acting

That my vision is a pillar of their intricate plan

No one to manage my decisions and the pending gold plaques

No you won't see my initials on official contracts

Independent 'til I'm dead or I'm a very old man

Middle finger I'm a missile that they can't hold back like

Ooh ayy

Finally got that deal got a pen in my hand

Ooh ayy

Like how you tryna buy who the hell I am

You can keep your cash I'm not that broke

I won't sign no contract I do me

Y'all are cancelled stealing people's dreams how can you sleep

It's a rap pose throwing cash in Lambos

I'm independent 'til I'm dead I quit the music industry

Miss me with all of that industry talk

Worked my whole life for the things that I have

Why would I give you the keys to the car

If you just gon' drive while I pay for the gas

I ain't gon' come to your meetings no more

Told you already ain't giving you half

Y'all can't wait to get your feet in the door

Then lock me outside while you steal from my fans

Keep your cash I'm not that broke I won't sign no contract I do me

Y'all are cancelled stealing people's dreams how can you sleep

It's a rap pose throwing cash in Lambos

I'm independent 'til I'm dead I quit the music industry

Keep your cash I'm not that broke I won't sign no contract I do me

Y'all are cancelled stealing people's dreams how can you sleep

It's a rap pose throwing cash in Lambos

I'm independent 'til I'm dead I quit the music industry
