Ari Lennox - Music Industry Agitation Song lyrics

Grinding but they don't see the work
All this writing and promoting got me going berserk
And these famous promised actions but all I see is words
These illusions got me sitting here broken and overt
And I'm fuming but I'm grooming learning to be alert
Steady moving just improving knowing I will emerge
[?] if I'm losing know that I'll come in first
And I'm choosing to stay true and confidence is rehearsed
Carry strength like a purse even when I do hurt

Yeah!
I swear I'll tear this f-ing roof off!
Baby fall at you feet!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Said then I'll knock your f-ing socks off!
If you just give me a chance!
Yeah! Yeah!

This has been the roughest cry
When you work they just don't see you, yeah
But let this song ease your mind, songbird
You must let these trials mold you
Yeah! Yeah!

I swear I'll tear this fucking roof off!
Baby fall at you feet!
Yeah! Yeah!
I swear I'll knock your f-ing socks off!
If you just give me a chance!
Yeah! Yeah!

Don't be too awful, girl be smart
Don't let this industry stone your heart
Keep on working you'll be fine
Work goes noticed after time
Don't be too awful, girl be smart (Oh)
Don't let this industry stone your heart (Oh)
Keep on working you'll be fine (Yeah! Yeah!)
Work goes noticed after time (Yeah!)
Don't be too awful, girl be smart (Oh!)
Don't let this industry stone your heart (Oh!)
Keep on working you'll be fine
Work goes noticed after time

I said I'm grinding and then I'm learning!
Yea! Yea! Yea! Yeah!
You should be on me!
You niggas owe me!
