Ettrick Shepherd – Rockstars Lyrics

Artist: Ettrick Shepherd
Song: Rockstars

Yeah, i suppose we are who we are, living like rockstars
Tryna live like the rappers who hit the charts
Every day putting in the hard yards
Just to celebrate – glug rum, puff grass

Open notepad writing – you don’t know that side
On an incline and i know that i won’t flat line
I don’t know how to get there, there’s no road map sign
But i won’t get there if my flow’s lack rhymes

So there’s work to be done and there’s fun to be had
And i wanna do both so i’m coming for that
Cos the why ain’t something that i’m struggling at
Always done it for the people who were loving my raps

But if i could get a couple of smashes then i’d double my cash
But the money would be a side effect
That art gets for me so i’ll ride to death
These songs are worth more than currency – i’ll divide the cheques

I’ve been watching a lot of kellyvision lately
And that man’s life seems crazy
Lighting up every day like it’s the 80s
It inspires me but encourages the lazy

It encourages procrastination
Partying and endless time wasting
And i know i’m young and reckless on the face but i’ve really worked hard for the fruits that i’m tasting
But you probably don’t believe me

Cos what i post on the gram makes my life look easy
But not all is gucci when you’re selling cds
Just look at mac miller, juice wrld and avicii
That’s how we represent what a successful life is

We portray it in our music and we show it to the kids
But just look at what happened to 6
He got a hit then got hooked on the crack and the piss
I suppose we are who we are, living like rockstars

Tryna live like the rappers who hit the charts
Every day putting in the hard yards
Just to celebrate – glug rum, puff grass
On the day that my album dropped

I had four run and cokes on my own cos i didn’t f#cking know how to stop
But there was no-one around who was down to rock
So i went solo but songs like celebrate had my life sounding hot
But party animal is a full-time job that had me working around the clock

Let’s revel, i wanna be on a level that’s attracting the attention
Sell my liver to the devil
But i never considered that if i’m spitting these lyrics about hallucinogens it causes kids to really dig it
See the purple haze and lucy in the sky

You get the reference and there’s no wonder why
They’re mentioning the things that you will probably try
But they never mention how it would apply
To a standard person without heaps of cash

But responsibilities and certain ways they need to act
Tryna be like every rapper that they’ve ever seen and that’s
Dangerous cos they teach us to smoke weed and fags
It’s something i haven’t ever read into

I’m impressionable and it’s led me to all these issues
I think i drink too much, it’s a habit that i really should kick through
I suppose we are who we are, living like rockstars
Tryna live like the rappers who hit the charts

Every day putting in the hard yards
Just to celebrate – glug rum, puff grass
Nowadays nobody wants to be just a ropper
Cos to these newbies being dope doesn’t matter

They just wanna drink heavier and make their pockets fatter
However you gotta focus to climb up the ladder
Now it’s a public relations problem
Cos parents and kids have been watching

We’re getting slammed, i’ve got a hurt core to see
Cos it’s not liquor, rap is worth more to me
Teens are getting into this thinking it’s
Just about f#cking around but there are differences

Between an up and comer and rockstar
Spending all-nighters in is how they got far
You really gotta grind, it’s a hard struggle
You can’t skip steps and bypass the hustle

But if you want that life it’s an easy choice
Then you can get f#cked as you all rejoice
I suppose we are who we are, living like rockstars
Tryna live like the rappers who hit the charts

Every day putting in the hard yards
Just to celebrate – glug rum, puff grass
