Lyrics

Used to have plenty of guys lined up around the block
Come from miles away to see my violin rock
I’m a composer manager artist communicator
And I should mention, I’m a fiddlin’ Darth Vador
200 employers a year And 8 full time bands
I’m driving 90 miles an hour gig to gig with no f-in hands
Play bar-mitzvahs, weddings, charities, award shows, recording sessions
I play with rappers, rabbis, rockstars, and I also teach lessons
Y’all think I’m playing? Check this out
I’ve played with Miley, Ceelo, Ariana, Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl
And in the summers in the orchestra with Hollywood Bowl
I studied opera so I sing higher than Aaon Nevil Ie
I've even dueled Charlie Daniels and I played the devil
Now everybody sayin’ I need better representation
That if I had better management I would be a sensation
I can tell you right now Put that thought on the shelf
Nobody give 2 shits about you Gotta do it yourself
Gotta do it yourself
Wanna be an artist gotta do it yourself
Gotta do it yourself
Wanna be an artist gotta do it yourself
(Only so many hours in the day)
It’s common for artists to get depressed
Once you make it your life you’re in the wild wild west
Your resume won’t matter
May not lead to wealth
If you wanna be an artist You gotta do it for yourself
Do it yourself
If you play the violin you gotta start at 6
And by the time they’re 8 most kids have gotten their fix
But my parents are musicians and they had this idea
That they would make a Jedi fiddler outta their daughter Leah
They did not foresee the decline of symphonies and studios
And now half of Juliard is working at Trader Joes
Now I won’t lie, I know art is for leisure
You need a doctor not a poet if you suffer a seizure
Music isn’t a service vital to your health
If you wanna be an artist Gotta do it yourself
Gotta do it yourself
Wanna be an artist gotta do it yourself
Gotta do it yourself
Wanna be an artist gotta do it yourself
