The Ongoing Concept

Hey kids! Gather around,
I want to tell you something.

Stop being the print
and start being the painting.
I'll never look at this as if it's a game again.
Copies of copies,
when did distinction become a sin?
With conformity let's see how far we can walk
in someone else's shoes,
because their success is our success.
To what? To what ending?
With them you rise, and with them you fall.
Without them you are lost.
How does it feel to be responsible
for being noise pollution?
But you still claim to be original.
I've seen your kind before.
You justify your fakeness by making false claims about your sound and who you are, who you are
To what, to what ending?
I've seen so many like you before.
That's all you'll be unless you

Stop being the print of someone else's painting.
Stop being the print of someone else's painting.
It's time that you forgot about copycats and chasing tails.
Stop being the print of someone else's painting, because in the end you'll amount to be
a kid without a brush.

No one in this generation has any originality.
No one is trying and we're all becoming
(WIth conformity all you will amount to be is)
lazy.
We're all lazy.
Don't copy instead of create.
To what ending? To what ending now?
You've abused the system and made this a mess, and I can't help but be bitter.

Stop being the print of someone else's painting.
It's time that you forgot about copycats and chasing tails.
Stop being the print of someone else's painting, because in the end you'll amount to be a kid without a brush.
Stop being the print of someone else's painting.
There's no room for copycats and chasing tails.
No one is being anything in this generation.
Don't be that kid without the brush.

When I was a young boy, my mamma said to me, "Son, don't be like the other boys. Just follow your own feet." I said, "Mamma, don't you be afraid. Don't worry about a thing, because when I grow up I'm going to be an artist and not a cover girl."
Don't be the print of someone else's painting. Stop being the print. Start being the painting.
