caleb gordon - copyright strike lyrics
[verse]
yeah, copyright strike
went and hit my song with a copyright strike
knew that i was wrong, but i still took flight
almost crash+landed, tellin’ everybody, “don’t panic”
yeah, if you rockin’ with me then i apologize
dropped a lot of songs only ’cause i was frustrated
people, they would tell me that they got me and would help me clear these songs
but i found out they was just makin’ statements
i could’ve been patient, i could’ve waited
but i see my dogs goin’ up for the songs that they sample
and i’m thinkin’ that i could’ve made it
wasn’t even thinkin’ i was fallin’ in temptation
wasn’t even thinkin’ what my father in heaven thinkin’
see, i even came up with a logical explanation
thinkin’ they would never find a song, and if they ever found a song then they probably would just take some payment
i dropped “copyright infringement,” knew i was stealin’
i seen the numbers goin’ up, i’m like what a feelin’
how quickly i done turned music to an idol
look how quickly i got up and went against the bible
i dropped the war in the city, dropped the war outside
that’s when the label went and hit me
tellin’ me they really love that song, like, “caleb, come and sign with me,” then it got tricky
didn’t clear the sample, but i went ahead and used it
went on tour, came back home and seen a copyright strike
they cut the cord, dog, they went and turned out the lights
was mad and confused, but that don’t mean that i was right
uh, i’m like the people love it, but i see the repercussions
could’ve lost all that i had all for the sake of buzzin’
see people clappin’ they hands, they love that way i done it
see artists followed the plan because they seen i done it
while i just sit in the stands quietly, sayin’ nothin’
i don’t wanna live this disobedient over songs
deleted all the samples and remixes, not for long
i found a better way
a company to help me clear the songs you wanna play
i’ma do it all legally before i let it spray
i’ma go get the clearance before i let it spray
i’ma focus on hearin’ the lord and what he say
i found a better way
[outro]
don’t even stress it, yeah
ayy, man, y’all don’t even stress it ’cause i found a better way
i found a better way
ayy, i just wanted to make this song to let y’all know man we good
finna get everything cleared the right way
it’s up, i just thought this was a creative way to let y’all know what’s been goin’ on
but, yeah, it’s 2000, e+s+t
that’s that o+c+o+e+e
