Keep it Real
Urban Clearway Lyrics

Nowadays you can't even get your foot in the door
The music industry is so saturated that it is difficult to enter

Of the record industry unless you're a whore
The industry only allows those who are willing to compromise their morals

15 Year old loose lesbian quarter dressed
The industry uses underage and provocative talent to sell music

They're meant to sell us music, not just sleazy sex
The industry should be focused on the quality of music instead of provocative imagery

But all that matters these days is the mother-fucking money
The industry prioritizes profits over artistry

Entertainment's lost it's buzz now they've sold all the honey
The industry has become stale and commercialized

And what's funny is the honey is starting to be a bore
The provocative imagery used in the industry is becoming repetitive and uninteresting

Sick of silicon filled whores, on the leaflets through my door
The artist is fed up with the promotion of talentless, image-focused musicians

These fake-ass stars ain't happy just doing music
Musicians are more interested in fame and status than the art of music itself

Give them celebrity status, and watch them abuse it
Celebrities use their status to take advantage of others

It seems the last thing on these gold-diggers mind's
Musicians are only concerned with money

Are the melodies, or the beats or the quality of the rhymes
Artistry is no longer a priority in the industry

If I was their teacher I'd make them do a million lines
The artist believes musicians should be properly educated on the purpose of music

Commercializing music is just a fucking crime
The commercialization of music is doing a disservice to the art form

And we know it's time
It is time for the industry to prioritize artists who value artistry over profit

I just can't understand these silly little bitches
The artist is angered by the use of talentless, image-focused musicians in the industry

Having implants and then posing for pictures
Musicians are pressured to change their appearance to appease the industry

Not me! I don't want people staring at my tits
The artist does not want to be objectified for her appearance

All I wanna do is make lots-a-hits - SINGLES!
The artist wants to make popular, quality music without compromising her morals

Move over bitch, make way for this chick
The artist believes she can succeed in the industry by being true to herself

Who doesn't have to suck no corporate dick
The artist will not compromise her morals to succeed in the industry

I'm slick, and hip and I ain't gonna trip
The artist is confident in her abilities and does not need to compromise to succeed

Money buys the honey, 'cause the honey's want the money
The industry uses provocative imagery because it sells

But now it's just not funny, when all that's left is honey
The overuse of provocative imagery has become unoriginal and uninteresting

Entertainments watered down this way and now it's fucking runny
The industry has lost its quality and originality due to its focus on commercialization

Watered down to fuck and it's flowing like a river
The industry is too commercialized and unoriginal

It's sticky and it's cold and it makes me sort of shiver
The current state of the industry is unappealing and uncomfortable to the artist

Music should be down-to-earth, I don't know what's the deal
The artist believes music should be authentic and relatable

We're not all fucking barbies so we gotta keep it real
Musicians should stay true to their authentic selves and not compromise for industry success

Keep it real, real, real
The artist advocates for authenticity in the music industry

Keep it real, keep it real, keep it real, it real
The artist encourages the music industry to prioritize authenticity over commercialization

Keep it real (x2)
The artist wants the industry to value authenticity and artistry
