Letra The Life of an Artist - McCafferty, Alex Rivers

The Life of an Artist

I wish that I had courage\nI wish that I had fight\nYou wish that you had people who loved you in your life\nI wish my brain was normal\nAs an artist I am stuck\nBetween the line of poverty\nAnd Being poor as fuck\nBut I will use my words as tools\nTo help people who think like me\nI will use my brain and tongue to try to do this music thing\nAnd I will make song and show you all that I am not useless\nI am more than I was\nI am more than I was\nI can be much better than I was\nAnd the life of an artist is a truly brutal one\nBut I have these stupid songs I have to sing\nAnd I’m making the choice to not fuck up everything\nAnd my fathers words they always stuck with me\nBe who you want to be and sing what you want to sing\nBe who you want to be and sing what you want to sing\nBe who you want to be and sing what you want to sing
