Katie Tropp The Artist Gets Raped
[Chorus]
You see the artwork on the wall
The artist didn't see a dollar at all
(The artist gets raped)
Got this music banging through your speaker
Just know I didn't get paid either
(The artist gets raped)
You see my name up in lights
But I'm just getting f..cked every single night
(The artist gets raped)
We just do it for the love
While everyone around just keeps using us!
(The artist gets raped)!
[Verse 1]
Everything begins with the artist
The heart and the soul is where it gets startеd
We keep on working harder
Give еverything we got even if we are starving
Then once we get a piece
Everyone around starts seeing green
But what they don't see
What I go through to not lose me
You sign a contract
The label bends you over and f..cks you up the ass
You wrote the whole track
And you get paid a whole dollar for that
When it's time to release
Gotta listen to opinions from nobodies
Pay to get rejected
By some idiot blogger in one sentence
It's a catch twenty two
All they wanna do is take advantage of you
You can try to break the system
But the history is clear it's already written!
[Chorus]
You see the artwork on the wall
The artist didn't see a dollar at all
(The artist gets raped)
Got this music banging through your speaker
Just know I didn't get paid either
(The artist gets raped)
You see my name up in lights
But I'm just getting f..cked every single night
(The artist gets raped)
We just do it for the love
While everyone around just keeps using us!
(The artist gets raped)!
[Verse 2]
It don't matter who you are
Even if you are a super star
They will rip you apart
And take away everything about you and your art
Taylor's putting up a finger
Because the music belongs to the singer
Prince turned into a symbol
They took his f..ckin' name with the instrumentals
Britney just wanted to dance
But her family had much more sinister plans
Trying to hold back Cube
Cuz his basketball league is doing better than you
The list is endless
If you try and stick around it can be relentless
But the problem is
There's always a new comer ready to suck a dick
The cycle never stops
Because the artist can't make it to the top
The story is always the same
The artist always gets raped!
[Chorus]
You see the artwork on the wall
The artist didn't see a dollar at all
(The artist gets raped)
Got this music banging through your speaker
Just know I didn't get paid either
(The artist gets raped)
You see my name up in lights
But I'm just getting f..cked every single night
(The artist gets raped)
We just do it for the love
While everyone around just keeps using us!
(The artist gets raped)!
You see the artwork on the wall
The artist didn't see a dollar at all
(The artist gets raped)
Got this music banging through your speaker
Just know I didn't get paid either
(The artist gets raped)
You see my name up in lights
But I'm just getting f..cked every single night
(The artist gets raped)
We just do it for the love
While everyone around just keeps using us!
(The artist gets raped)!
