[Intro] [Verse 1] Ah-ah-ah-I Wanna figure wild pickets Get the f*ck on like a Sealy Posturpedic Jesus Christ on the cross Audible Mainframe delightfully yours Finally one band that fights for the cause So we fight for the self don't fight for the boss (No!) And y'all wanna sign me to hell Please, don't make be LOL And OMFG you still don't tempt me You taste the same just like Coke and Pepsi A different package, a different label My band is not for sale though We own our masters and own our soul We take your check and we keep control Play your position and speak when told And you get a little feast when the beast unfold [Chorus] Welcome to the life I lead Nobody ever gave me nothin' No friends in the industry Just break your back, it's pain and suffering Searching for the melody To sing a song and say it's Na-na-na--Na-Na-Na Yeah [Verse 2] I keep it more Thoureau than Henry David, save it For the mothers**ers I ain't nothin' to play with Your management team, booking agents Take us off the bill they say we too dangerous We blow it up every time that we rock And make it hard for the people on the headline spot And backstage whispering to management light change "Oh, there ain't no way that we can rock after them" You see me sport a 'fro like, What's Happening From the latest hiatus Mainframe back again And that's word to quest who's crew's blacken 'em If you ain't wearing seatbelts you best fasten 'em Cause the twists and turns of this ride can be heavy But the thread is in the reel, we keepin' it all steady I hear Ma say, "What happened to real rap?" Don't trip though kid cause we bringin' it back [Chorus x2] Welcome to the life I lead Nobody ever gave me nothin' No friends in the industry Just break your back, it's pain and suffering Searching for the melody To sing a song and say it's Na-na-na--Na-Na-Na Yeah [Bridge] [Chorus x2] [Outro]
