Pre Malones

What's shining now ain't glitter or gold
A meeting adjourned crease it and fold
But a shine in his eye with the deal he just sold
Captured a mind the claim of a soul
His words bestowed the priest to behold
His egos been growing but boastfully old
Thinking he won but his methods are cold
Too many young with the blood untold
Just take what I offer and soon you will prosper
A pitch to himself throw coins in the coffer
Not thinking about the feelings unheard
The gears in his head are clicking then turned
Please come on in and take this seat
Just sign on the line and we both can eat
I'll treat you to this and treat you to that
While plotting inside how to uphold his mask

Hello and hi big boss man here
Apologies for the confusion but I would like to steer
This conversation in the way that I want
Preaching like a prophet is how I flaunt
I find you sensational the work you've done incredible
You're truley intuitive indubitably exceptional
However I want to point out a few flaws
Let's start with your craft and writing of these songs

Don't tell me how to think or to act in your liking
I make my own mistakes thank you but I'm taking
This project down the road without you by myself
Go eat the next kid he is hungry for your help
I've already had enough people crawl into my head
I wasn't looking forward to this but actually dread
That you would be like this now isn't that sad
Too bad what happened has already been said
I'm on to the next one while you sit there and chew
You should really think deep, fester and stew
About what you just said I sniffed you out
Conversations dead I soiled your brew
I see it now for what it's worth
Piling in all the years of the hurt
Think you know my pain, but you only glimpsed my brain
Years later you'll still be hearing my name

Hello big boss man come join me at my feast
But when you sit down don't you touch anything or eat
This is all for show all I really have is beef
With all you young artists you should be kissing my feet
I'm trying to trick you... ah I mean help you
I'm trying to buy you out so I can own your brand
All in a weeks work all part of the plan
Then on to the next starving artist who doesn't understand
You are all so mailable it's funny to me
You want this so badly you don't even read
The contract in front of you or question it's validity
I'll own you for life taking cuts for free
I'll distract you with nonsense and what you want to hear
Make this day memorable I control your career
When I buy into the brand I buy into your life
Because you are the artist you wanna roll the dice
