Lyrics

If the record sells
Then I get receipts
If the record fails
Then I get defeat
If the record pales in comparison
I get embarrassment
Hold on
What are you measuring?
Do it for peace
Do it for means
Do it for sanity
Don't love the business end
I do that for family
I want my team to win
You know who you are
That's why I wear your jersey
Probably printed that in South Park
I've been on a road
Can't call it my own in full
But in between your dreams
I've been writing on the low, yeah
I can see it vivid
I was taking my time
By the spoonful
Now I'm thinking I can swing it
It doesn't pay me much (no, no)
But it feeds me (feeds me)
Believe me (yeah)
It's hard to picture rain out
When it's scorching (when it's scorching, yeah)
And it's hard to picture sun out
When it's pouring (when it's pouring, yeah)
It's hard to picture daylight
After midnight (after midnight)
And it's hard to picture city lights
In the morning
Know I gotta do it for the love
What you take me for?
There's a thousand ways to get a bag
That'll pay me more
But that head rush, goosebumps
That's another vibe
Make me feel alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Know I gotta do it for the fam
I know that you understand
I don't want to see you struggle
So we're sticking to the game plan
Know I gotta do it for the peace
For that tension and release
And I play it on repeat, yeah
Know it gotta do it
Cuz I'm hurting when I don't
But adrenaline will fix it
When I'm feeling what I wrote, yeah
Know I gotta do it
For the candy on the keys
And the butter on the bass
In the belly of the beast, yeah
Hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's hard to picture rain out
When it's scorching (when it's scorching, yeah)
And it's hard to picture sun out
When it's pouring (when it's pouring, yeah)
It's hard to picture daylight
After midnight (after midnight)
And it's hard to picture city lights
In the morning
Hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If the record sells
Then I get receipts
If the record fails
Then I get defeat
If the- if the record sells
If the record fails
Comparison
Fails the record
