Copyright-Free: Battling Corporate Claims
Lyrics
Oh no, another copyright claim from another name
Receiving yet another copyright claim under a different entity's name.
Of a song that I never heard, how absurd what a shame
Expressing disbelief and shame at being claimed for a song never heard or known.
Guess I won’t get paid, not like it mattered anyway
Expecting no payment, as it hasn't been significant anyway.
Never get a say on the content that I ever made
Feeling deprived of control over one's created content.
Just another day where I see my video, continue to grow
Despite content growth, not receiving payment due to copyright claims.
Though I don’t get paid because of an audio
Not being compensated due to copyright claims on audio or clips.
Or a clip, just a sec, that was it, maybe I should quit
Contemplating quitting due to constant copyright issues.
Everybody’s in fear that it’s ending their career
People in the creative field fearing these claims might end their careers.
Future unclear, confused to what the hell they need to adhere
Confusion regarding what rules and regulations to follow.
Sincere to fellow peer, hoping that they won’t just disappear in a year
Hoping peers don't vanish while striving for success.
Trying hard just to persevere as we engineer
Struggling to persist and advance in creative endeavors.
Our creations even when it’s just volunteer
Making creations despite not being paid for the work.
You could probably make more as a cashier, but the fans
Not earning much compared to other jobs but finding joy in fan support.
Can’t you hear them cheer
Noting the encouragement and applause from fans.
Can you remember why you entertain, insane
Reflecting on the reasons for entertaining others, finding it somewhat crazy.
The feeling of joy you get maintaining the fame
The satisfaction derived from maintaining fame and joy.
Fans calling your name because you know they got your back
Appreciating fan support, acknowledging they have your back.
Smiles and support even when they see you crack, matter of fact
Even amidst difficulties, fans continue to offer smiles and support.
What corporations choose to attack won’t hold us back
Determined not to let corporate attacks hinder creative progress.
Let us make a pact to remain on track, accelerate
A pledge to stay focused and progress despite obstacles.
Until we make it great because we need to create
Emphasizing the necessity to create and innovate.
It’s how we operate
Declaring that creating is an essential part of their way of functioning.
Uh oh, what’s wrong UMG, it seems you
Teasing UMG (a music corporation), stating they can't claim the content as it's copyright-free.
Can’t claim me cause I’m completely copyright free
Asserting that the content is free from copyright claims.
Vocal vip and that beat I made, an extension of my creativity
Describing the vocals and beats as extensions of personal creativity.
How will you thrive to survive when your corporation
Questioning how corporations will survive without profiting from others' creativity.
Can’t leech off what you say you keep alive
Asking corporations to refrain from interfering in the creative community.
Please stay out of our community
Similar fear in the creative community about career uncertainties.
Everybody’s in fear that it’s ending their career
Similar confusion among peers regarding navigating copyright issues.
Future unclear, confused to what the hell they need to adhere
Hoping peers remain in the creative space despite challenges.
Sincere to fellow peer, hoping that they won’t just disappear in a year
Striving to persist in creating despite the lack of financial gain.
Trying hard just to persevere as we engineer
Continuing to create even without monetary compensation.
Our creations even when it’s just volunteer
Comparing potential earnings to a cashier's job but valuing fan support.
You could probably make more as a cashier, but the fans
Highlighting the cheers and encouragement received from fans.
Can’t you hear them cheer
Reflecting on the insanity of entertaining others but enjoying the feeling.
Can you remember why you entertain, insane
The pleasure derived from maintaining fame and entertaining fans.
The feeling of joy you get maintaining the fame
Recognizing fans' support and their presence in challenging times.
Fans calling your name because you know they got your back
Continued fan support and smiles despite witnessing struggles.
Smiles and support even when they see you crack, matter of fact
Determined not to let corporate attacks hinder creative progress.
What corporations choose to attack won’t hold us back
Committing to staying on course despite corporate obstacles.
Let us make a pact to remain on track, accelerate
An urging to persist until achieving greatness, emphasizing the need to create.
Until we make it great because we need to create
Stressing the importance of creativity as the fundamental mode of operation.
It’s how we operate
Reiterating that creating is their way of functioning.
