Random (Mega Ran) - Return On Investment lyrics

[Verse 1: Kosha Dillz] Up late, at night, thinking I can write a hit song Philly homies hittin' this jawn Bols be like Jersey flow, the kid raw, mad homies hella tight Lyrics don't get you everywhere eh? May be right Alaska, Canada flow someone never said it, good night World traveler in my own right Living off hookups, fans don't exist in real life People only support when the time is right The time is now, and my time ain't right My phone all charged, show's over, nowhere to go Sleep tonight Door deals got me feeling like, some type of way Only ending up with some type of pay I guess I ain't got nothing to say And anything I do say don't matter anyway So one day I'll pucker up and kiss a** When I really need cash Until then, pa** CHORUS I wanna use what I was blessed with Maybe change the world before I make my exit Another day another item on the checklist And I ain't seeing a return on investment It's getting hectic (2X) [Verse 2: RoQy TyRaiD] Eyes fixated on the gauges, distance to location Quarter tank remaining Paranoia, mental calculation Skipping meals saving up for merch Either work too much to play or play too little And don't make as much as work If I get them -- I ain't necessarily rolling in cash Sometimes I do a feature that I would normally pa** I'm just honest, the saving grace has gotten me through August Independent artist is synonymous with hardship Financial sustainability's out of reach on purpose For royalties and salaries morality is purchased Your integrity sold for income Dignity for a dollar, religion for recognition Principles for some progress They say it takes a little compromise But my convictions ain't contingent on a dollar sign I'm insulted, you can sew your orifice and sulfer chip I'm from a different cloth I'll take the higher road opposed to this CHORUS I wanna use what I was blessed with Maybe change the world before I make my exit Another day another item on the checklist And I ain't seeing a return on investment It's getting hectic (2X) (Mega Ran) Hey yo, they see me on posters, and think it's easy, I'm doper And I should be in a 'Rossa, don't know I'm sleeping on sofas Riding through suspect towns, praying police don't approach us Know the road gets RoQy but we be keepin' it Kosha Plays a show for 40 waiting fans Spend an hour giving hugs and shaking hands Just to find out the promoter left early and won't pay the bands Bad business perhaps, but just another day in the life Of Mega Ran Hard to draw the line between commerce and your art When you do one to eat and the other from your heart Maybe crowdfund, cross fingers on the out come Shop for a deal or try to do it without one 60 hours a week on the laptop 10,000 emails out, 300 in the backlog Some days I wanna quit, others I'm in love with it Gift turned punishment, but I'm just done with it CHORUS I wanna use what I was blessed with Maybe change the world before I make my exit Another day another item on the checklist And I ain't seeing a return on investment It's getting hectic (2X)
