Steal This Song by BordomsBurden (djb remix)

[Intro - Spoken]
(sigh)... it's me. Your Burden. Put the phone down.

[Verse 1]
You post every day, but the plays don't come
Twelve views, two likes, and you're feeling numb
The algorithm buried you six feet deep
You go live at midnight, talk yourself to sleep
Film forty takes, post the forty-first
Every comment's a i , man, that's the worst
Ring light on, but your future's dim
The For You page is never letting you in

[Hook]
My Burden told me late last night (night)
"Boy, this music  you make ain't tight" (tight)
"You can chase it, but it'll never stay"
"Some aren't meant to find the way" (way)
My monologue says not the one (one)
The song was done way 'fore it begun (begun)
"You can want it, but that ain't enough"
"A Lyrical gift is not given to all of us" (us)

[Verse 2]
You edit till 3am with your eyes bloodshot
Post it in the morning, get a like from a bot
"Just stay consistent," yeah, that's what they preach
Two years deep and you're still out of reach
Your drafts got a hundred that'll never see light
Dreams of going viral every single night
You refresh the numbers like they're gonna change
Same twelve views, man, ain't that strange?

[Hook]
My Burden told me late last night (night)
"Son, this music  just don't sit right" (right)
"You can chase it, but it'll never stay"
"Some aren't meant to travel down that way" (way)
My monologue says not the one (one)
The song was done way 'fore it begun (begun)
"You can want it, but that ain't enough"
"A Lyrical gift is not given to all of us" (us)

[Bridge - Brian talks back]
Hold up, Wait, let me get a word
You talk in riddles, but the meaning's heard
I might not be the one, not today, a threat
But what you forget, its not over yet

[solo]

[Final Hook]
My Burden told me late last night (night)
"Boy, the music ain't your light" (light)
"You can chase it, but it'll never stay"
"Some aren't meant to find the way" (way)
My pessimism says I'm not the one (one)
The song was over 'fore it begun (begun)
"You can want it, but want ain't enough"
"The gift don't come to all of us" (us)

[Whisper Outro]
