Lose Intensity from The Process by Demorne Warren

See this game is designed to, mess with your mind man

gotta have a real strong resolve, and a good sense of self


I ran into an artist with a bigger brand than mine

was surprised when he said he was my biggest fan

Said he making his album, could I lend a hand

Or maybe be a hidden hand and help him pen a jam

He meant write a song, rather ghostwrite a song

basically said he'd pay for me to give some guidance to him

I admit he got the thirst and he was hungry

But I'm not sure it's even worth the money

Cause he don't just want lyrical coaching, want me

to teach him how to move and be his image consultant

They'll pay a fee just to sit with the homie, and chop

it up, that still don't give you permission to clone me

Its hard to stay this lit and be low key

Just the right amount most niggas a O.D.

They want to pick my brain and ask hundreds of questions

Thats why it cost a hundred K, for me to come to your session

Some look at me and see a dollar sign

But I ain’t wit it if it don’t improve my bottom line,

Secure the bag, don’t compromise your dignity

This industry will make you lose intensity

Some artist pay for streams to get their playlist up

These streaming platforms don’t even pay enough

That type of shit don’t make sense to me

This industry will make you lose intensity

A rapper hit me on Instagram

I saw the message, my thought was is this a scam

Said I was tagged in his post, & what I’m working on

I said I been in the lab, brewing the perfect storm

If you need some verses on a beat, then I’m with it man

He asked whats my budget, do I got a business plan

I told him my budget is what remains

After I pay all my bills, it’s really my pocket change

I’m independent, I ain’t got no labels backing me

But if you reaching out for a feature let’s make it happen G

Basically he told me I’d see glory

for a small fee he’d put me on his IG story (hmm)

That offer I wasn’t really impressed with

I’m hungry not desperate, that isn’t a wise investment

Maybe later we’ll connect if we aligned

But now homie I’ll respectfully decline


Some look at me and see a dollar sign

But I ain’t wit it if it don’t improve my bottom line,

Secure the bag, don’t compromise your dignity

This industry will make you lose intensity

Some artist pay for streams to get their playlist up

That type of shit don’t make sense to me
