Message to the Industry #YOWO


You talk about all the money that you blowed

Preaching to our youth to get throwed

You Rich and Famous acting like you really cold

This is one thing you never really told

That the mainstream gettting old

I write not for myself but the people on the shelfs

Kids scared to ask their parents for some help

Seen some people really living through hell

Music got them looking for drugs they can sell

But who am I to tell

I'm just another writer making sure I never end up in that cell

This will prolly never get felt by the rich and famous 

It doesn't matter though better this than gripping stainless

And You Only Write Once don't stay nameless
