NF - Motto Lyrics

Verse 1
I could write a record full of radio songs
Do a bunch of features that my label would love
Do a bunch of features that I don't even like
Just to build up the hype, yeah
I could sell my house and move out to LA
Get inside of rooms with the biggest of names
Hire fifty people just to give me advice
On the way I should write (Oh, God)
Yeah, sounds like a nightmare if you ask me
Yeah, went from my bedroom to the big leagues
You know how many times that I was told things
Wouldn't work? But worked out, having cold feet
Didn't keep mе from success, but delayed it somе
I used to be the guy who'd kill to get a number one
I had to hear "That song's a hit" before I thought it was
But nowadays I don't really give a— (What?)

Chorus
Oh, God (Yeah)
Might catch me at the award show
Eating popcorn in the back row
Catching Zs with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though
Oh, God
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No (Yeah)
You heard the saying, "If it ain't broke
Don't fix it," that's my motto

Verse 2
Yeah, I miss buying CDs at the store
And thumbing through the cases trying to make a choice (Yeah)
That don't make no sense to you? Well, of course
See, one man's inconvenience is another's joy
Wow, wow, how are you unemployed
Telling me to get a life? You should look at yours (Yup)
Congratulations, you can raise your voice
Hope you break both of your legs falling off your horse
(Oh, snap) This is the industry
Where it ain't how big you are, it's how big you seem
Where people sacrifice the art trying to chase a dream
Then they wonder why they music's lacking creativity
(Oh, yeah) Would've gave anything
To be respected by the artist I was listening
To, but not no more, them days are history
Skip the red carpet, you lookin' for me?

Chorus
Oh, God (Yeah)
You might catch me at the award show
Eating popcorn in the back row
Catching Zs with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though
Oh, God
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No (Yeah)
You heard the saying, "If it ain't broke
Don't fix it," that's my motto

Bridge
Got my feet propped up
Leave my shirts untucked
I'm the boss, so what?
I do what I want (Oh, God)
You got the trophy, that's great
I'm happy for you, no hate
Still got a smile on my face
Chilling in the back like, "Hey"

Chorus
Oh, God (Yeah)
You might catch me at the award show
Eating popcorn in the back row
Catching Zs with my hat low
No nominations, but it's cool though, oh, God
You might see me in the same clothes
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No (Yeah)
You heard the saying, "If it ain't broke
Don't fix it," that's my motto
