Artists don't get paid anyway
There's maybe ten or twelve of them
that have semi-decent deals
And the rest of them are, you know
I mean, what am I missing?
O-okay, let's do some math (Okay, okay)
If you signed me to a record company (Right)
Or record deal, let's suppose
you have a record company (Right)
How much would you give me?
The album sells for eighteen dollars, right?
Eighteen dollars, alright? (Whatever, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
All right, how much of that would you give me? (Half?)
Half? Half sound good? All right, check this out
If-if I sell a million copies
I'm going to have ten million dollars, right? (Right, mm)
Roughly ten million dollars (Right)
If I sell two million copies
I got twenty million dollars (Right, right)
If I just sell three million copies
I got thirty million dollars
Now who has the biggest record deal?
Woo, woo, hrr, ha
Schyeah, hrr, hahaha
Haha
For the second time, it's a second charge
(Shut up, man, shut up, see what I'm sayin'?)
Hrr, hrr (You know what I'm sayin'?
Look what you made me do)

Made me a monster, they—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they—, yeah, ha

Made me a monster, they made me a beast
They were just talkin', okay, let me see
They were just talkin', okay, let me pray
Let's cook up this dope 'til we go twenty keys
Let's fly up this dope like a parakeet
It's ten out of ten, I can guarantee
I'm in that mode like it's 2015
Slide with a pole on the back seat, huh
Somebody ho on the back seat, huh
Feel like I'm cookin' the first Pink, huh
Did my first show rockin' fur mink, huh
I'm still player, I still fuck on my first link, huh
I'm still player, my ex got a reconsider
She ain't tryna pop out with her new nigga
I just leveled up, I got some new triggers
Got some new guns, got some new layers
Couple trash bags, ain't no rubbish in it
I got money in it, I just doubled in it
I just showered on her, never a puddle, innit
I could never stop, I ain't got a limit
They was talkin' crazy, so I'm back inside the kitchen
Sharpen up and I ain't doin' dinner
Send your baby mama up to concierge
Know exactly what a nigga doin' with her, huh
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
So I'm back spittin' like I lost a liver
I'm back rappin' like I'm S. Claus
Pull the contract, check the clause
Put the label on all fours
Your best artist tryna fuck you raw
I'm a pioneer with more than five gears
They poppin' now, but not in five years (Ha)

Made me a monster, they—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they—, yeah, ha

It's time to talk again, it's time to walk again
Back to the board again, draw with the chalk again
Do what I thought again, they puttin' rules in place
I break the law again, breakin' the TV
I'm breakin' the cable
I'm beefin' the label, I'm turnin' the table (Ha)
Tried to turn me into a past, they weren't able to
Tried to make me, okay, watch what I make you do
Self-produce it, then record it myself
Shoot a video on my own, don't need no help
Try to trap me like I need to use them
James Blake, I need some distribution
In the office actin' confused
'cause I walked in like I'm Vlad Putin (Ha)
Tryna rush me to the bank, you mad?
Goin' outside, that's the plan (Ha)
I know the fans won't understand
but I need a statue like Doja Cat
I'm in the ring like I'm tryna box
but I'm match-fixin' tryna get dropped
I was lookin' crazy when the songs didn't drop
Now we lookin' crazy, peas in a pod
Now we lookin' crazy, but we gettin' whipped
Artist-label type love, we it (Chyeah)

Made me a monster, they—, ha (Hrr)
Made me a monster, they made me a beast (Hrr)
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they made me a—, ha
Made me a monster, they made me a beast
Made me a monster, they—, ha, ha

Hrr
Know what I'm sayin'? Keep tellin' me it's—
Hrr, ha, hrr, know what I'm sayin'?
Chyeah

I know you haven't always loved the internet
Uh, how are you seeing progress right now with all of that?
Can you use it to your advantage?
Um, it-it's a double-edged sword, you know?
A lot of artists aren't getting paid
full scale for their art
And the internet, because of downloading
and things like that
Is kind of like a black hole
And it's hard to audit, it's hard to get accounting
And it's not that it's just about the money
But it's about justice and fairness
And when people say that they love you and they respect you
But at the same time
Take, you know, eighty percent of your earnings
Then— and then expect you to fix your own communities
And they'll probably edit all of this out, but
Then it gets— that's, that's the sharp part of the sword
And we're at the wrong end of it right now
So eventually, with courageous people going out there
And actually saying something and standing up for it
I think we'll get some balance
