John Reuben - Mainstream Lyrics

Not satisfied as advertisedGot an appetite grab a micHold it tight hold this lifeLoosely like it ain't mineOn the dotted line that's how you're definedSacrifice pay the price bet that we earning itYou want the authentic or just the alternativeSame conversation next generation wants validation sorely mistakenArtistic integrity comes secondaryFrom strict parenting to culturally savvyGot that clean-cut image want to push the limitsGet you a publicist explain what the bubble isTry and be provocative don't want to contradictFeeling the tension of personal brand managementSwore all that mattered was making a differenceBut if they're no paying attention then that's not good for businessWhat do you knowOut with the old like a clearance aisleGuessing we were really never that in styleUp in the party like who are weYou don't know yourself not hardlyNot the same thing as the mainstreamWhat do you know still rocking it digital apocalypseJonathan Ruebonic fresh start like autumn isEverything changes that's what your option isLet me be clear without stating the obviousNothing's original borrowing influencePayback is just my two centsHeld these songs for five years so they should fit right inThe dippity-doer done did it againAnd I am just sitting at the exit ready for what's nextOne step ahead to keep the future in checkCome correct like I aced it perfectly placed itFind me in between a snare and bass kickRemember me like oh hey it'sThe innovation took place long before you ever heard it on the airwavesNow don't confuse that with trend settersAnd don't confuse them with attention-getters
