Gonn made this beat after a bit of a musical hiatus. When I heard it, I was inspired to do something with it. He's got a great atmosphere here, and I love the way the different parts blend together; separate, they sound so totally different, almost incompatible, but they mesh perfectly. It's great :3
Lyrically, I played off the title. I feel this way sometimes, like I'm not making something new, like it's all been done before and I'm not good for anything but copying. Other times, I feel like there's no way I could make a decent career doing the music I like to do because there's no market for it. They market flashy bullshit, a lot of the time, and that's not really what I want to do with my music.
Enjoy :D
Lyrics:
I don't make music anymore. It's not that I find it a bore, But more that it seems like a chore. Most effort, no profit. So instead of fail, I'll stop it. Don't wanna be stale when I drop it, When I don't inhale, I talk shit, But I don't have the chops to back it up. I try to be original. But I don't have a natural flow. My instinct is to take what I know And give it a go. But what I know is what's been done. So is that understandable? Or am I just an animal with a biter's mandible, Snacking on tighter flows like a cannibal? Do you see my dilemma? I feel like I'm getting no where, I don't see a reason to care. Why share when there's nothing there? If I get rid of my hair With a dollop of Nair Maybe then people can honestly stop and stare And admire this grand façade (that I wear).
I don't wanna make music anymore. It's pouring salt in an open sore. The industry is a pampered whore. Most effort. No profit. Any talent I have is ignored. Originality's a double edged sword. If your style's far out, Then I'm inclined to doubt That a talent scout With a silver snout Will knock on your door. And the art of freestyle is lost. Give me a bumpin' beat at low cost. And yes, this rhyme was all pre-scripted. But is that understandable? Or am I just an animal with a biter's mandible, Snacking on tighter flows like a cannibal? Do you see my dilemma? If no one is listening anyway, Then why sit at home all day With a guitar in my lap And a microphone in maw, A keyboard under paw, When I can dress like a chicken and go to the mall And watch the people stare in awe At my grand façade.
