Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got folders full of WAVs collecting digital dust,
Metadata nightmares turning passion into rust,
Spotify for Artists, BMI, SoundExchange forms,
ASCAP emails screaming "register or be ignored"...
I just wanna write the hooks, play the shows, feel alive,
Not die inside a Google Sheet at 3:05...
[Pre-Chorus]
So I scrolled through Upwork, Fiverr, and some Facebook group,
Found your profile picprofessional, no visible tattoos,
You said "I got this" with a calm I haven't felt in years,
I said "Take my login, take my soul, take my unshed tears..."
[Chorus]
Take fifteen percent of every stream, every sale,
Take the royalties, the syncs, the Bandcamp mail,
Handle the takedowns, the claims, the ISRC codes,
Split sheets, PROs, and all the taxman loads...
Just leave me the part where I sing in the dark,
You deal with the platformsI'll deal with the heart.
Take fifteen percent... and my headaches too,
Best money I never made was giving it to you.
[Verse 2]
You upload to DistroKid while I'm asleep in my van,
TikTok sound, YouTube Content ID scan,
You fill out the forms with mechanical grace,
While I forget what day it is and shave half my face...
You chase down the fake claims, argue with TuneCore bots,
I just hit record and forget the parts I forgot.
[Pre-Chorus]
You send me a spreadsheetgreen cells, money flowed,
Attach the invoice, highlight money owed,
You say "Your track's on this playlist, 2 million reach,"
I say "Cool, here's a new song about existential freaks."
[Chorus]
Take fifteen percent of every stream, every sale,
Take the sync requests, the weird Japanese mail,
Handle the Soundrop, the Ditto, the fake fan spam,
The "your song's trending in Ghana" Instagram...
Just leave me the part where the chorus hits hard,
You deal with the businessI'll deal with the art.
Take fifteen percent... and my sanity please,
You're worth every dollar I'll never see.
[Bridge]
And if we blow up, get a label on the line,
You'll negotiate the deal, I'll just drink the wine,
If we stay small, grinding forever in the grey,
At least I won't be crying over a rejected claim today...
You're the adult in the room I never grew into,
I'm the child with a guitarhere's my Venmo to you.
[Final Chorus]
Take twenty if you want, hell, take twenty-five,
Just keep me creating and emotionally alive,
Take the uploads, the artwork, the promo stress ball,
I'll keep the delusionthis could still be my call...
Yeah, take fifteen percent of whatever this makes,
Long as I don't have to do itmy soul's not at stake.
Take fifteen percent...
God bless you for taking my headaches away.
[Outro]
Send me the payout report when it's done,
I'll be in the garage... writing song 301.
