Earning the pimp his pay

Verse

I was told I had talent.

Put it on the internet.

Go with a streaming service.

A choice I’d soon regret.

Pre chorus

Somebodies getting wealthy

But lord it ain’t me.

Seems I’m like a golden goose.

Someone’s money tree.

Chorus

I feel like a prostitute

Earning the pimp his pay.

Verse

I had a song go viral.

Got a couple million hits.

When I counted my money

I didn’t make jack shit.

Pre chorus

Somebodies getting wealthy

But lord it ain’t me.

Seems I’m like a golden goose.

Someone’s money tree.

Chorus

I feel like a prostitute

Earning the pimp his pay.

Verse

I had a song go platinum.

The critics gave it four stars.

Yet I’m playing county fairs

For peanuts in a bar.

Pre chorus

Somebodies getting wealthy

But lord it ain’t me.

Seems I’m like a golden goose.

Someone’s money tree.

Chorus

I feel like a prostitute

Earning the pimp his pay.

Bridge

Thousands of hours of practice

Suffering for the art.

What I thought would be my big break

Only broke my heart.

Chorus

I feel like a prostitute

Earning the pimp his pay.
