​tpk - Record Deal lyrics

[Intro] They told me not to go through with this... They said I'd lose a piece of my soul in the process... Well, I should of listened to them Because they were right [Verse 1] I'm a success, I made it big; on my own But now I feel like it's time for me to take the throne Only way to do that is through a record label And yes, I did read them perilous tales I took the plane to LA, Metro Bus to HQ Showed the A&R people what I could really do They were impressed, I was under so much stress... To perform my best because this was a test But I had a feeling there was more to the story I ignored that, I was going in for the glory So I talked a bit and showed off my plan Wouldn't you know it, he offered me a place in his fam He placed papers on the table, they call it a contract "and if you sign this, then you'll be on the map" I didn't have a chance to read, I couldn't even think "Where do I sign?" I said and I signed with ink [Interlude #1] I still remember signing the piece of paper To my old self, I was saying see you later I remember when I loved my new self Now I just want my old self back [Verse 2] I was under pressure, would it ever be gone? No sir because even though I made all the songs They took all of the profit, all of the credit I could try to fight back but I said forget it Cause they bigtime, they got a lot of size Controlling everything from a big highrise Who blows up quick, who becomes irrelevant The ones who s** dick, they're the ones who're with it I've got my sanity, I'm not f**ed in the brain If I were then I'd be basking in the fame Unaware of the cut my record label be taking When I could of done it myself, what was I thinking? I was thinking that I could f** b**hes Snort c**aine, meth, speed and PCP At least that's what I believed, until I realized They put thoughts in me and my integrity died [Interlude #2] Look at me, I had so much going for myself... I had ideas, I had dreams, I had a vision! Now that I'm a part of the system People won't take the time to listen [Verse 3] "Listen f**er, you're under our control forever" "All the records and rights, you will never..." "Get em back cause we own em, we'll never sell" "And we'll sue your a** if you dare tell" That's what they said to me, and they really meant it I want to travel back in time and make sure I prevented... Myself from signing a record deal Tell my past self how I truly feel s** one dick, and you a dicks**er for life Typecasted, yeah I have become a blight Cause I sold out my soul, sold out my values Sold out my ambitions to become one of you And I hate it, I'm a hollowed out piece of sh** I got fans, but how many of them are fake and don't exist? What will it take to destroy the industry? How long until our souls and music become free?
