Pass It Off As One's Own Plagiarize

not to boastfully brag
or to overly self-praise 
but I gave, and I gave 
my creative lyrics 
the best and the worst 
of my unhappy days 
thinking to myself they will 
never see the light of day 
so I put pen to paper
and paper to my many dreams 
and set out to explain to myself 
the wonder of life's distinct existence 
or life's complete ugly misses  
but someone surreptitiously came along 
with betrayal in mind  
and gave the world all my hopes and penned dreams 
that i didn't know how to share
but to simply misrepresent
in mass misrepresentation
must be ok if your a musical person 
I sometimes wonder if that country singer 
feels the pain of me 
or the rapper knows he and she 
took many of my dreams
so got a safe deposit box
and then the vulgar and profane
came in to view 
the things that the musical world
would do 

p.s. all in the name of jobs...
it takes more than just a singer to get the job of plagiarizing
