15 Minutes

I think it's taking too long for me
To try and stack bread for notoriety
And now all I stack is anxiety
And myriads of issues with authority
So please don't act like you've been knowing me
Or think of my problems cosmetically
Cause then I gotta switch with my dichotomy
To show off and stunt on you flawlessly, mmh yeah

It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it, yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it, yeah

Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win?
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity?
Why do I try to be reformed?
Why is it pleasing to the world?
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes
I think I'll stay real
I think I'll stay real

It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it, yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it, yeah

So, what if music's really wrong for me?
And what if writing every song will take too long for me?
And what if I just need to give up on my quality?
And start producing stupid songs in obscene quantities?
So, what if music's dead to me?
What if artists only do it for gratuity?
Where's the heart and soul gone in the true artistry?
Am I really supposed to sell counterfeit parts of me, yeah?

It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it yeah

Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win?
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity?
Why do I try to be reformed?
Why is it pleasing to the world?
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes

Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win?
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity?
Why do I try to be reformed?
Why is it pleasing to the world?
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes
I think I'll stay real
I think I'll stay real

It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it yeah
