Jonathan Wyman - Pop Song lyrics

[Verse 1] I started out underground I was kinda like a seed I had no manager, I booked my own shows Made the posters and afterwards, I sold CD's Then I made a song making fun of all the bragging And it blew up in like, not long Then I got signed to a deal, flew me out to LA Put me in the studio and told me [Chorus] We want you to write a Pop song We want you to write a Pop song And make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this And do it for the kids! [Verse 2] ‘Cause the kids want hits They don't give a sh** about the rhymes you spit They just want a nice beat that they all could ride to With a chorus catchier than swine flu times two! I know you like Primo Beats So you compose verses like they were a Keynote speech But, we just want you to be 3OH!3 Mixed with Flo Rida mixed with B.o.B, capiche? So make another "Airplanes" Or a song like "Billionaire," either's fair game Do it or go down in flames Back to Maine, you can beg moose for spare change You can't sing? We'll auto tune it! Make it sound like someone else's music We brought writers who could make it sound tighter We could pull an all-nighter, baby [Chorus] We want you to write a Pop song We want you to write a Pop song And make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this And do it for the kids! [Verse 3] No, I wanna do it for Hip-Hop You know, fresh to d**h, like a bird in a zip lock They're like, "Spose, you're not f**ing Rick Ross We want something more like Ke$ha, tick tock" I wrote a verse and said, "Listen to this sh**" They put their hands to their foreheads as I kicked it They're like, "Look, I don't think that you get it Nobody cares about your verse, it's not '96, kid!" I told them, "Look man, I'd rather have my wrists slit Than sound like every other f**ing singer in the business" They're like, "Really, Spose, would it be that cataclysmic To make a couple songs for top 40 and rhythmic? With hooks big enough to catch Moby Dick with? With very few words and some melodies addictive? If you're not up to the task, grab your bags Call a cab, its too bad because" [Chorus] We want you to write a Pop song We want you to write a Pop song And make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this Make it sound like this And do it for the kids! [Outro] We want you to write a Pop song We want you to write a Pop song And do it for the kids!
