Ben Linville - For Streams Lyrics

Medical bills and dental bills
Things I need to pay
Student loans and cellular phones
They won't go away

I'm running out of money
I need to make some green
I'll make something easy
Something heard not seen

I need to make a song
Make a song for streams
You need to listen
So I get those royalties
I need to make a song
Hoping I'll get paid
Just play it in the background
And go on with your day

I need to keep on going
I need to make this long
Spotify won't pay out
For a very quick song

So I need to fill this time
I'll try to figure out how
What else can I say
What do I say now

I need to make a song
Make a song for streams
You need to listen
So I get those royalties
I need to make a song
Hoping I'll get paid
Just play it in the background
And go on with your day

All I need is like 5000 dollars
That shouldn't be too hard to make from people streaming your music
Well ok let's see
Spotify pays .004 cents per stream
So 5000 divided by .004 would be
1,250,000 streams
Holy sh**

I need to rob a bank
