[Verse 1 - rapid, close vocal] Geneva lights on a long white table Gold name cards and a polished sound Label man by the model maker Working players still in town Yesterday they met in courtrooms Today they call the future near If the deal is built on human songs Put the human terms in clear [Pre-Chorus - tight build] Do not thank the hands that planted Then lock the barn when payday starts If the machine can hear the music It was taught by human hearts [Chorus - wide melodic hook] Give us a share of the harvest If our work is in the field Put the credit in the contract Put the payment in the yield You can bring the newer engine You can show us what it starts But give us a share of the harvest If it grows from human hearts [Verse 2 - brighter momentum] One says license, one says opt in One says every sample pays One says keep the artist steering When the model joins the stage Good intentions need a ledger Pretty slogans need a door Can the writer trace the record Can the player ask for more [Pre-Chorus - bigger] Do not call it collaboration If the choice arrives too late Build the switch and build the receipt Before you open up the gate [Chorus - full band] Give us a share of the harvest If our work is in the field Put the credit in the contract Put the payment in the yield You can bring the newer engine You can show us what it starts But give us a share of the harvest If it grows from human hearts [Bridge - stripped to guitar and piano] Not against the tool beside us Not afraid to learn the sound Just remember who was singing Before the code was passed around [Final Chorus - highest energy] Give us a share of the harvest If our work is in the field Put the credit in the contract Put the payment in the yield You can bring the newer engine You can show us what it starts But give us a share of the harvest If it grows from human hearts [Outro - dry vocal] If it grows from human hearts Give us our share
