At least I’ll say
It looks really nice taking the easy way
but it’s not my game
I spend hours each night thinking of what to say
I could get paid
for selecting a backing track and hitting play
Laying lyrics each day about clubbing and bass
Hell, I know I’m creative enough to make a living that, but no
Listen to my lyrics and learn my intention
Listen to Music man and dig those extensions
Cause I like my chords colored with notes past the seventh
I’m sorry if it’s too much for your tiny span of attention
but really I write lyrics that mean something to me
and People always tell me one day I’ll get what’s coming to me
but this has never really been about the money to me
so I don’t care if you hate this song, nothing but lovin’ from me.
Well, I’m scared I’m scared
I think I’m lacking conviction
I’m scared I’m scared
scared of fighting friction
fighting friction
“So quit” the voice inside me keep saying
“Take a break from this music just a little vacation”
Hell no man I know this sometimes tries my patience
and I know that you’re just thinking of all the time that I’m wasting
but there’s something to be said about exploring my innovation
there’s something to be gained here everytime that I’m playing
No I never had my eye set on the center stage spotlights
I know no matter how hard I try spend every god damn nickel and dime
my music won’t be soaring high to billboard charts on big ass signs
cause I know what the people like: to nae nae, twerk, shake their behind
and I won’t give you that, won’t give you that
so if you’re looking for somewhere where you can wiggle and grind
sorry about your luck but really I’m glad you took the time
to make it all the way here to the 2:15
you’re getting impatient, here’s the chorus just sit tight
Well, I’m scared I’m scared
I think I’m lacking conviction
I’m scared I’m scared
scared of fighting friction
fighting friction
Should I try to break away
Is there no turning back
My destination I don’t wanna stay
Is there no looking back
So hold onto me as I hide my face
Please no looking back
Well, I’m scared I’m scared
I think I’m lacking conviction
I’m scared I’m scared
scared of fighting friction
fighting friction
