Groundbreaking
The YouTube Song
[Verse 1]
I've been here for five years
Writing a lot of songs for your human ears
I've got a lot of shit to say, it's all up here in my brain
But then I hit a million views
And then I started drinking that juice
And then I did a little more, and then some more
And even more to satisfy you
I never thought I'd get so caught up
In making that subscriber box fill all the way up
But now I know I'm not a YouTuber
I'm just a guy who makes songs
[Chorus]
And everything I've worked up to
I try to get my message out
But I am just a music artist
Everyone keeps pushing me down
How am I supposed to keep up?
When they're out there pushing videos a day
They're so rich, they're so famous
They got it made, playing their games
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I guess I am
Just a little bit jealous
Their egos don't get in the way
Not quite like the right side of my brain
But, tell me, is it really bad
To have a little ego say
"Hey, sometimes you got to do you
So you don't have to act so fake"
[Chorus]
And everything I've worked up to
I try to get my message out
But I am just a music artist
Everyone keeps pushing me down
How am I supposed to keep up?
When they're out there pushing videos a day
They're so rich, they're so famous
They got it made, playing their games
[Outro]
I don't mind
Making these songs for you today
I know you really like them
I don't mind
But don't toss the real me out
And keep the one that's fake
