I can't keep competing for a prize I never wanted
You throw me in the round like I really cared
You'd like to think I was in it for some sort of wealth, well
Truth is my mind was never really there

Tell me when did the music
Become some overglorified
Popularity contest
All for sales not for your souls
Save me this grace

Mouthing off your words of how I sold out to the man
Tell em' all I made this just to sell a million plus
If I wanted to move more, I'd suck up to the trends
Does it honestly look like I really gave a fuck

Tell me when did the music
Become some overglorified
Popularity contest
All for sales not for your souls
Save me this grace

It's fun to pick a label and run with it
When everyone looks at you and says "you're this"
We're something else and you don't get it

Tell me when did the music
Become some overglorified
Popularity contest
All for sales not for your souls
Save me this joke
