Ollie - Profit lyrics
Yeah, oh They try to sell you on their lies Only care 'bout the profit and spreading their gossip Nobody cares 'bout wrong or right As long as they fill their pockets, don't matter how they got it Yeah, they try to make you feel worthless And front-page they got a picture that's perfect Kylie Jenner got an a** that every girl should go worship They Snapchat their whole life while we sittin' here workin' I think it's crazy, the point is what I'm missin' And all these famous rappers only rappin' 'bout fiction They talking money, girls, or cars, or 'bout the drink that they sippin' And lack emotion—that's exactly why the rest of us are feeling so distant I hope you comprehendin', and take a look at the message you sendin' Quit your fake rap beef to get yourself trendin' Flashin' chains, more fame—live a life of pretendin' I speak the truth and give a f** who I may be offendin' This real music, took a pa**ion and used it Created a movement, the industries behind it so clueless They pushing songs with no meaning, start to make me feel stupid Like, maybe I would blow up too if all my lyrics were useless But that's the difference, my lyrics are my purpose Telling truth to their lies and, damn, I'm praying that this sh** is all worth it I'll never be perfect, I stand for all the people who hurtin' I know our time is coming, slowly all the tables are turnin' They try to sell you on their lies Only care 'bout the profit and spreading their gossip Nobody cares 'bout wrong or right As long as they fill their pockets, don't matter how they got it Generation confused, focused on s** and booze Think if I'm getting laid all the time, I must be better than you Young minds poisoned by all of this sh** on the news It's p**y, money, weed on repeat—are you shocked or confused? I'm thinking loyalty's dead as I lay alone in my bed I listen to these hit songs and can't believe what is said They try to tell me it's timeless, 90% of it's mindless f** these awards, I rather make more real music instead I ain't changing who I am for no radio hit It's More Than Music, all I'm using is the pain that I get And write these songs to help somebody out there feelin' like sh** That's more than half these other rappers can ever say that they did I treat my fans like my family, return the love they've been givin' While labels treat 'em like products, numbers who ain't even livin' All for some profit, can't stop it, the same people stay winnin' Sick of watching the rich and famous flaunt the live we've been missin' Behind the scenes I learned most of what we seein' is fake They show a fairytale life and shove it right in our face So we dream of having what they have and this facade they create And when they taking all our time, how can we learn to be great? That's real They try to sell you on their lies Only care 'bout the profit and spreading their gossip Nobody cares 'bout wrong or right As long as they fill their pockets, don't matter how they got it
