What Are You Doing It For?

from The Shore Shark Redemption by At The Space Jam

lyrics

So you think that having a band will make you hot, you're gonna get all the gigs 'cause they know you rock, but you don't work hard and don't put in the time so now you write shit songs and you know they're a crime. And i remember when you started out and loved to play. You said that playing on guitar and singing was your day, but now you just slack off but hate what you do and think you'll get in the scene once they see what you can do.
So I'm asking you. What are you doing it for? 'cause seriously, i just don't know why
Tell me what you'll do and how you'll make it big 'cause the more you lie the bigger whole you dig. Listen to me 'cause you don't have a clue, you're trying to call yourself a band when you don't know what to do.
So I'm telling you. Don't do it if you're not fully into it. Don't even come if you're not gonna bring it.

Are you in it for the good time? Or just in it for the good ride? Please don't think this scene is light. So take it with your best stride. Are you here because you're hardcore? Or just here because you want more? More money, more fame, more power, more likes.

Your mates ain't gonna tell you if you're good or crap. You gotta get out and perform, you gotta earn those claps. You gotta, sing hard. You gotta, sound large. You gotta show them who's boss, you gotta take charge. Because its gotta blow up. Its gotta be huge. You gotta give it all you got or else you will have to move, and you've only got one shot you gotta do it right. You can't take it for granted 'cause this scene ain't light.
So now I'm asking you again. What are you doing it for? 'cause still, i just don't know why
Tell me what you'll do, tell me what you'll say. Tell me all the steps you'll take and how you'll get your way, and i'll tell you straight up your plan wont work. you gotta have a bit of talent you just can't go berserk.
So now i'm telling you again. Don't do it if you're not fully into it. Don't even come if you're not gonna bring it.

Are you in it for the good time? Or just in it for the good ride? Please don't think this scene is light. So take it with your best stride. Are you here because you're hardcore? Or just here because you want more? More money, more fame, more power, more likes.
