A lot of independent recording artist struggle with everyday life by managing a regular life just being a human being. Trying to manage a career in music can sometimes be nerve wrecking because of the tight budgets that we are on. Most of us haven't had that ultimate breakthrough yet, meaning the music isn't completely paying the bills yet.
Some of us work at fast food joints, some of us bag groceries, some of us chase charts in Walmart parking lots, and some of us are stay at home parents. This is that song that relates to that serious struggling musician.
#TightBudget by @JACOBIZRAEL
lyrics
Hook:
Trying to make this music work/but my pockets hurt and i'm on a budget/ trying to relate, trying to escape, tryin' to give y'all something that y'all gone love (4)
Verse 1:
Its 5 o'clock and i'm tweaking out/ain't wrote a line and i'm freaking out/this mead pad is empty man, no thoughts in mind what that's about (2) and the fridge empty/ gotta go to Walmart to get something to eat/but a nail in the tire, the van running hot, did I mention that the gas tank on on E (4) but I fail to believe that it won't work/got faith in myself plus I do work/lately I've been keeping to myself and some of y'all think that i'm a real jerk (6) but I got to make time for myself/ain't nobody looking out for my health/I learn a long time ago want something done right fosho you got to do it yourself (8) Ain't saying that I don't need a team/ but most of y'all jokers don't believe in my dream/i'm a one man show, don't need you around I really hope you understand what I mean (10) i'm trying to make this music work, I don't need dead weight trying to hold me down / matter fact I need positive heads if you gonna try to help Jake Iz reach the crown (12) bad enough that my pockets got lint / can't even tell you where my last was spent / $20 dollars away from being on my or living in a plastic tint (14) I ain't trying to ride around in a Benz/I ain't trying to floss hard in a Lexus/just trying to work hard/ I love this music like cowboys live their Texas (16)
{2nd VERSE}
