lyrics

pack of cigs from the change in my coin cup
now i really got the spirit of america
but i'd be clubbin' with canadian if i could
'stead of shakin' like both hands on the hood
and i'm fakin' like it's all good
so i just keep singing these bars
in empty bars
and they got steel bars

but i'm an artist
i think of myself as an artist

and my paypal my paypals my worst pal
they never hit me bout no record sales
in fact i dont even wanna be pals
i never had a good experience in retail
they only ever send me spammy email
so i just keep singing these bars
in empty bars
and they got steel bars

and when i look towards the future
it's like looking at the wall
but walls are only so tall

when you're an artist
and i think of myself as an artist

so i just sit up in the crib and smoke my cigs
and my folks save all my newspaper clips
and i'm not sure why i exist
but i'm gonna tell you like i told 'em since i was six

i'm an artist
i think of myself
