Los Angeles Elbow Grease
In this ever-changing world of entertainment any day
An artist could accomplish what he once thought
Was an impossible feat with a little elbow grease
And dedication you may gain a reputation
For being remarkable you'll see
With the right preparation there's no limitations
On who you could become but don't be dumb
With all of the money that you receive because
Bankruptcy comes in the blink of an eye
And You could become a where are they now rerun
Watching VH1 with a barrel in your mouth
Ready to decorate your couch with the back of your scalp
Because you're financially f*****
It's a Fickle industry That can give you everything
But take it away in a matter of days
Especially because
It's so incredibly hard to obtain longevity y'all definitely
shouldn't expect to be in the spotlight indefinitely trust
Fame is a flammable entity that many see go up in Flames
Yes it will eventually be gone
Having a rockstar mentality
Has the mortality rate around the same
Of an insane persons grasp on reality.... low
Don't go traveling Roads that rapidly
Lead you to the middle of nowhere don't go
Chasing that rabbit all the way down that gigantic hole there no
Because that rabbit is faster than any bastard
You've ever encountered and the chances
Of you catching his ass are below fair
& it's so rare i swear
That you're just better off
Staying at home there
