lyrics

I’m so damn bored
With the music I’m not sure that I can do it anymore
Well I know that I can do it
It’s a matter of desire and I’m tired nothing’s new it’s

The same damned beat, C, D flat, and F
The Danny Elfman of Hip Hop strikes again

I’m trying to branch out, going out on a limb
Producing other genres but it does not hit
I’ve taken master classes by some of the greats
Got inspired but the beats are still sounding the same

What the hell’s my problem, I just can’t shake it
I’m about to Bruce Lee my whole production station
I’m aggravated, annoyed, agitated
Pissed off, unamused, and mad frustrated

When I open my DAW, I start to feel itchy
All the sounds suck and I can’t stop making
A really big deal out of this whole entire thing
You can accomplish what you want if you only believe

Yeah whatever, I’m growing more convinced
That the only real secret is no secret exists
I’ve done all the math, I’ve read all the books
And for a second I even started doubting my good looks

Shame, never question your gorgeous face
That’s your money maker bro, plus it’s your saving grace
Yeah you’re right, never settle for lesser
So I’m going to give it my best average effort

I’ll keep plugging away
Because something’s got to give or get given away
I can’t stop, won’t stop rocking away
I should put down the mic, but not today
