Bootleg

My head is sealed up airtight
Screwed on right
Dying for a slice of my life
Y'all can’t have what's up in here
My checkered past, my secret fears
Stole the parts but can't make 'em fit
And your bootleg shit gets smashed to bits
Everybody wanna know what the sauce is
Everybody want another piece of gossip

Say what does it take
To keep all these vultures far away
Say who, can't be me
Better rethink what you think you mean
Say why am I the guy
That you try so hard to see inside
Say how, now you know
And that's why I star in every show

Threw all my effort in
When I was talentless
I tried to make something
That I could call my own
Then someone caught a glimpse
And thought they wanted it
Without the struggle it just don’t mean shit, no

You look like everyone
You take out all the fun
Squeeze every dollar out of someone else's heart
But it’s a changing tide
You'll claim your final prize
Then leave the corpse behind for AI art, oh
