Marlon Craft - Identity (Intermission) lyrics

"People view music as like - it's
The same thing they've done to
Everything and they did it to
Music - They commodify it
They make it product and then
They make it trendy
Because - I'll admit, like, I
Remember when I was younger, when I
Would be going arranging my iTunes
And I would be like
I would think about what I would want
Other people to see in my iTunes
You know what I'm saying
Like what I would want -
Why should that ever be a
Factor? This is music
Art that I listen to to enjoy
But I would think about what -
How I define myself and
Relfect myself and like what I
Would want people to see
"It's like I gotta have this
I gotta have that in here so people
Know I'm - gotta have that"
And I think that, like
People aren't aware of that in
Themselves but they're like
"yo, nah nah I got-gotta have that new
Shit, listen to this new shit
I listen to this new shit
That's what I listen to
Because" because they situate
Their identity in this place of -
("in that realm") - yeah, in that realm
Like you know what I'm saying
And so it becomes - it doesn't
Even have to do with how they
Actually feel about the music
It's just how they're tynna define
Themselves as a person"
