π Lyrics
I'm always one step away
One step behind
It all pushed down the doubting
And fuck off to rhymes
I'm coming up short
I guess I can't write
To their standard of song
Or to save my own life
'Cause it's too many words
Too weak of a bridge
We don't know what you are
Or what to do with this shit
So we'll get you together
You sad little loser
Go sit for seven hours
With a hip-hop producer
We want you to beg
For a small scrap of praise
You'll wait on a reply
For a whole hundred days
You'll ask for approval
Or some sort of date
But it gets me off
The more I make you wait
So go write
And write morΠ΅
And then go write again
And keep writing
'til you forget how long it's been
That you'vΠ΅ waited and waited
To stop being stuck
In a booth with the auto-tune all the way up
We'll get you out to L.A
With some change in your pocket
Your music is breath-taking, brutal, and honest
We'll say you're the best writer we've ever seen
It's your fault if you're stupid enough to believe it
You're one step away
From it all coming true
All those dreams
They're the reason
You dropped out of school
Now you're twenty-one, broke
It's all in your grasp
Suck it up and just sing to the pre-written track
This is totally normal
It's just how it is
You're naive
You're misguided
You're still just a kid
And when it's said and done
You'll be forever indebted
You'll learn we never cared about you for a second
We'll give you a lawyer
We'll give you the sessions
We'll give you hell until you get the message
We'll give you the world just to take it all back
We'll give you the anger to start it from scratch
And we'll give you a lawyer
We'll give the advance
We will give you the world
But not give you a chance
And when it's said and done
You'll be left with the outcome
That all of this time
You could've done it without us
One step behind
It all pushed down the doubting
And fuck off to rhymes
I'm coming up short
I guess I can't write
To their standard of song
Or to save my own life
'Cause it's too many words
Too weak of a bridge
We don't know what you are
Or what to do with this shit
So we'll get you together
You sad little loser
Go sit for seven hours
With a hip-hop producer
We want you to beg
For a small scrap of praise
You'll wait on a reply
For a whole hundred days
You'll ask for approval
Or some sort of date
But it gets me off
The more I make you wait
So go write
And write morΠ΅
And then go write again

And when it's said and done
You'll be left with the outcome
That all of this time
You could've done it without us
