[INTRO:BARTOVEN]
I can't stop I can't stop
And they're coming in twos
I can't stop I can't stop
Bartovi
[VERSE 1: BARTOVEN]
I heard they stopped paying these artists and started bribing them with vehicles and clothes (that’s fucked)
We’re all driven by material things
But I just want my receivables in dough
‘Cause all I see is poverty and flats
A lot of we are brass
Everybody either sings, plays the lottery or raps
Or traps
And there are so many fish in the sea
So I’m sure that there’s gonna be a catch
Fuck a 360
I’m keeping all my unreleased shit
These labels wanna see that show money, ‘leave it’
Acting as if it’s them showing up at these gigs
They wanna see my bank balance do the splits
They know you love to party and love the freeness
So now you’re A&Rs gassing up your producer now…
Every song sounds like a fuckin’ remix of Justin Bieber’s
For the love of Jesus!
[HOOK: BARTOVEN]
I am taking praises at the alter
Tryna keep my head above this water
Is it strange to be alone?
Taking praises at the alter
Tryna keep my head above this water
Is it safe to be alone?
In this Mainstream (In Noah’s Ark)
[VERSE 2: BARTOVEN]
What would you call living?
Some would say it’s the same as surviving, hey!
Some would say you ain't blowing unless Simon says
Well fuck that!
If you’ve the X-Factor get a step-ladder
Get a sledgehammer…break through
Get your point across
The labels know what you’re worth they’re just avoiding cost
Like this contract I ran it by my lawyer Josh
Next thing he read it and told me that they’re tryna boy me off
No way!
They wanted to sign for 2 years straight
That’s albums and publishing all for 20k?
What the fuck?! In all honesty
Don’t sign a deal if it doesn’t secure property
Or quality living so…
In Noah’s Ark
Labels are loan sharks
And the birds come in too but the pleasure it don’t last
And I came with two dargs
Benny and Flowzart
But Tov independently goes hard
[HOOK: BARTOVEN]
Noah’s Ark was produced by Bartoven.
