Image for the poem Famous Woes

Famous Woes

there's a lot of awful sounds out there
but that shit made my ears bleed
I have sympathy for the starving artist
though I got nothing for wannbes
coming at it with weak flows
dumbing it down with whack beats
then gloating about how
they're laughing all way to the bank
that record didn't make top 10
so you go on the internet blaming kids
it's their fault for streaming
yes and yes
I understand
we all deserve the fruits of our labour
only difference is you're in a mansion
and I'm drowning in bills
so please spare me of your tragic tales
capitalism can be such a bitch
best to talk to your bosses
don't blame the fans
or be an ass
because someone downloaded your shit
the same track where you gloat about
money, bitches, and cars
how about you lift unsigned artist up?
it's this me, me, me, shit that pisses me off
if being famous is such a tradgy
then give it all away
there's hungry kids and homeless vets
apply at Mcdonalds
start living paycheck to paycheck
see if you last a day
then you can tell me of your woes

This is pretty much my thought when I hear famous people bitch about kids downloading music, or streaming. It's a bit eye rolling. I more blame big business for... Well destroying everything good really lol. Hope people like the poem.
