I think it's taking too long for me
To try and stack bread for notoriety
And now all I stack is anxiety
And myriads of issues with authority
So please don't act like you've been knowing me
Or think of my problems cosmetically
Cause then I gotta switch with my dichotomy
To show off and stunt on you flawlessly, mmh yeah
It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it, yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it, yeah
Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity
Why do I try to be reformed
Why is it pleasing to the world
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes
I think I'll stay real
I think I'll stay real
It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it, yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it, yeah
So, what if music's really wrong for me
And what if writing every song will take too long for me
And what if I just need to give up on my quality
And start producing stupid songs in obscene quantities
So, what if music's dead to me
What if artists only do it for gratuity
Where's the heart and soul gone in the true artistry
Am I really supposed to sell counterfeit parts of me, yeah
It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it yeah
Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity
Why do I try to be reformed
Why is it pleasing to the world
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes
Why do I try to play these games when I know that I'll never win
What do I think I'll gain from inauthenticity
Why do I try to be reformed
Why is it pleasing to the world
For 15 minutes
For 15 minutes
I think I'll stay real
I think I'll stay real
It only takes 15 minutes
To show you how I can get it yeah
It only takes but a moment
To show you that I can own it yeah
