[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]
