Song Name: "They Sell the Struggle"
Description:
"They Sell the Struggle" is a gritty, industrial hip-hop track that serves as a searing indictment of the modern music industry's exploitation of the working class artist. Built on a soundscape of mechanical noises—staplers, printers, and glitching servers—the song contrasts a raw, spoken-word delivery with a deceptively catchy, robotic hook.

Lyrically, it traces the journey from being signed as "marketable pain" to the grim realization of being a disposable asset on a corporate spreadsheet. It’s a protest song for the digital age, rejecting the glamorous facade of fame to expose the brutal economics beneath, where an artist's hunger is packaged and sold, and their ultimate act of rebellion is to tear up the contract itself.

LYRICS:
I've been quiet aside you
 While my heart in my chest shouts
 Feeling silenced and lied to
 But enough is enough now

 Don't come find me, I won't be here waiting
 I so can do it alone, you're not worth staying

 Weren't listening but now there's no way you won't hear
 There's a voice emerging in the noise so loud and clear
 And I turn it up like you turned me down, im not afraid
 Hit play, hit play
 It's the sound of walking away

 I've been drowning inside you
 while my love, it just pours out
 I've been running behind you
 But enough is enough now

 Don't come find me, I won't be here waiting
 I so can do it alone, you're not worth staying

 Weren't listening but now there's no way you won't hear
 There's a voice emerging in the noise so loud and clear
 And I turn it up like you turned me down, I’m not afraid
 Hit play, hit play
 It's the sound of walking away

Lyrics:
We were so bright standing in the sunlight
Never got burnt
We were alright, had that easy kind of love
And I let it in
For a moment, felt like we were floating
Baby, I swear, we were golden
It was easy, natural as breathing air
And when the sky went dark
You think I would have known before we let it get this far
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that I see what you promised
Tell me how to crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Got your words right
Always knew what to say in our fights
Look at us now, hard as I try
I get halfway up the wall and you pull me down
And when the sky went dark
You think I would have known before we let it get this far
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that I see what you promised
Tell me how to crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Crawl outta, crawl outta
Crawl outta, crawl outta love
Crawl outta, crawl outta (and the sky went dark)
You think I would have known before we let it get this far (crawl outta, crawl outta love)
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that I see what you promised
Tell me how to crawl outta love
Now I gotta–
Tell me how to crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love

Lyrics:
I told you I would come back home
I know you hate to be alone 
Instead of kissing you goodnight I'm kissing strangers 
Always listen but I'll never learn 
Shoulda been hanging on your every word 
I was taking you for granted never realized the danger 

And now I took too long 
And now she's gone 
If I only knew right from wrong 
She'd be right back in my arms 

All I got is you 
All I got is you 

I always meant to hold you closer 
But I don't always do what I'm supposed to 
Now you're slipping through my fingers and I don't know what to do 
And I keep hoping you call back 
Can we forget about the past 
cause baby all I really want is you 

And now I took too long 
And now she's gone 
If I only knew right from wrong 
She'd be right back in my arms

All I got is you 
All I got is you 

4am and I cannot say goodbye 
Crawling back home id do anything for you 
And I'm sitting up awake and now I can't forget you and I don't know what to do 

Yea
