Chris Akinyemi - Radio Lyrics

Get up in the morning,
I'm yawning, alarmclock woke me up.
I'm hittin' on the snooze and I'm droolin',
DJ won't shut up.
He said he got a banger, a hot song,
Sound like the last one.
I might as well listen and pay attention,
Thought that I should mention.
How, what, who made that?
Sounds like same ten songs played back.
Maybe it's my imagination,
Turn to the next station.

What happened to creativity,
Where'd it go?
It's time for a rude awakening,
Let 'em know, oh.
Turn my guitar up and my radio down,
The industry needs change and I'm a come now.
So-called artists all sound the same,
The real music never get no play.
Everybody wants three minutes of fame,
One hit wonders are getting lame.
This is what made me feel like,
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.

An instrumental from Swizz Beatz, (showtime!)
A couple bars from Weezy,
And Diddy gotta say sum'n, (it's Bad Boy baby!)
Formula works oh so well,
How come y'all CDs never sell?
Phony A&R's in the industry,
Then you blame it on the economy.
All I'm saying is that music is my inspiration,
But if it's misused and abused,
Then I must speak for my generation.
What happened to creativity,
Where'd it go?
It's time for a rude awakening,
Let 'em know, oh.

Turn my guitar up and my radio down,
The industry needs change and I'm a come now.
So-called artists all sound the same,
The real music never get no play.
Everybody wants three minutes of fame,
One hit wonders are getting lame.
This is what made me feel like,
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.

No more robots singing,
No more tricks to make us listen.
Dropping bombs don't make it hot,
Mister DJ you need to stop.
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.

So everybody that's down for the cause,
Pick up your phone and call
Every radiostation and tell 'em to put something different on.
I just don't think it's fair,
How BS gets on the air.

I was born to keep the music alive.
Turn my guitar up and my radio down,
The industry needs change and I'm a come now.
So-called artists all sound the same,
The real music never get no play.
Everybody wants three minutes of fame,
One hit wonders are getting lame.
This is what made me feel like,
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.
I was born to keep the music alive.
