Pop Song

I started out underground
I was kinda like a seed
I had no manager, I booked my own shows
Made the posters and afterwards, I sold CD's
Then I made a song making
Fun of all the bragging
And it blew up in like, not long
Then I got signed to a deal
Flew me out to LA
Put me in the studio and told me

We want you to write a Pop song
We want you to write a Pop song
And make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
And do it for the kids!

‘Cause the kids want hit's
They don't give a shit about
The rhymes you spit
They just want a nice beat that
They all could ride to
With a chorus catchier than
Swine flu times two!
I know you like Primo Beats
So you compose verses like they
Were a Keynote speech
But, we just want you to be 3OH!3
Mixed with Flo Rida mixed with BoB, capiche?
So make another "Airplanes"
Or a song like "Billionaire
" either's fair game
Do it or go down in flames back to Maine
You can beg moose for spare change
You can't sing? We'll auto tune it!
Make it sound like someone else's music
We brought writers who could
Make it sound tighter
We could pull an all-nighter, baby

We want you to write a Pop song
We want you to write a Pop song
And make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
Make it sound like this
And do it for the kids!

No, I wanna do it for Hip-Hop
You know, fresh to death
Like a bird in a zip lock
They're like, "Spose
You're not fucking Rick Ross
We want something more like Ke$ha, tick tock"
I wrote a verse and said
"Listen to this shit"
They put their hands to their
Foreheads as I kicked it
They're like, "Look
I don't think that you get it
Nobody cares about your verse, it's not '96
Kid!" i told them, "Look man
I'd rather have my wrists slit
Than sound like every other fucking
Singer in the business"
They're like, "Really, Spose
Would it be that cataclysmic
To make a couple songs for
Top 40 and rhythmic?
With hooks big enough to
Catch Moby Dick with?
With very few words and
Some melodies addictive?
If you're not up to the task, grab your bags
Call a cab, it's too bad because"
