Greed by Kaelar Lyrics
Pff, money, ain’t it funny?
It’s really a bitch, it’s really something
I was foolish, this is bullshit
I gotte admit, I feel like a dummy
I just discovered leases, heart ripped to peaces
I can’t put out the original version of Back
‘cuz someone else bought the beat
I feel defeated, by greed
I wasn’t thinking, I was naïve
Writing on random youtube beats
But now I discovered the money I have to put up
It’s really unbelievable
I look at my bars and I’m seeing gold
But the instrumental ain’t free, it’s sold
Is this a story I’ll leave untold?
It’s 30 degrees, but I’m feeling cold
Back, one of my best tracks
I really talked my feelings on that
And in the second half, the beat got smacked
But now I lost it, ‘cuz someone else bought it
And I ain’t broke, but I ain’t got nowhere near the money
To buy that shit off him, I feel exhausted
I wanna put myself out there creatively
But without air, I’m scared to breathe
I wanna be free, but to get there, I have to get paid, you see?
I’m sending a prayer, I’m down on my knees
Just make the world fair, for everybody
And I’m complaining, while for some people
It’s a daily struggle to eat, greed
I don’t get it, can’t people be happy with just aesthetics
If people could do what they like
Wouldn’t everything be more authentic?
Would a paramedic still be a paramedic
If he doesn’t get anything, accept for the credit?
But money is part of this world, I have to accept it
Money is not what I’m doing this for
But if I don’t have it, it really gets hard
And I have some, I got a head start
So all that’s left, is play the right cards
I plan to get far and one day, walk among the stars
That’s why daily, I’m scribbling bars
The album I wanna make
Have beats from producers that wanna get paid
And if don’t use them, it’s just not the same
But I’ll lose money making it, so I am afraid
What do I do? what do I say?
I really think it’s time to embrace
Put up my money and just have faith
It’s really a bitch, it’s really something
I was foolish, this is bullshit
I gotte admit, I feel like a dummy
I just discovered leases, heart ripped to peaces
I can’t put out the original version of Back
‘cuz someone else bought the beat
I feel defeated, by greed
I wasn’t thinking, I was naïve
Writing on random youtube beats
But now I discovered the money I have to put up
It’s really unbelievable
I look at my bars and I’m seeing gold
But the instrumental ain’t free, it’s sold
Is this a story I’ll leave untold?
It’s 30 degrees, but I’m feeling cold
Back, one of my best tracks

And I ain’t broke, but I ain’t got nowhere near the money
