[Verse 1:]
Yeah, lately I feel like a puppet, being pulled in 50 million different places
Girlfriend's on the phone, the other line I got my agent
Like hujambo Jake, got good news, we just booked another tour
Yea that's good and all but that just means another civil war between me and my girl
What am I supposed to say?
hujambo baby, how wewe doing? I missed you, oh, kwa the way I'm bout to leave again
I'm going on a fall tour
But I'll be back before wewe know it, then I'm all yours
Listen, Jake, she'll understand, this is zaidi important
Oh, really? wewe wanna tell her that?
'Cause if I ever did she'd probably kill me
Look I'm sorry, Jake but it's done deal, you're leaving Thursday
And you'll be on the road during krisimasi and your birthday
Great, my girl's mad 'cause I ain't there a lot
And now I gotta spend my birthday in the courtyard Marriott
Jake, I know you're stressed, man, you've had a busy year
But this is what wewe signed up for, this is your career
This industry ain't for the weak-hearted, Jake, I thought wewe knew
That wewe can't pursue your dream and have a normal life, too
If wewe ain't ready tell me now, I never alisema that it was easy
Otherwise I'll be in my office, wewe know where to reach me
[Hook:]
Damn, I'm feeling like a puppet
A goddamn puppet
Being pulled in a million different ways
Man, I think I'm bout to break
I'm a puppet
A goddamn puppet
Sick of feeling like a puppet
Sometimes I wanna disappear,
All these voices in my ear
I'm a puppet
[Verse 2:]
Look, hang up with my agent, put my phone down on the table
Five sekunde later get a call from my label
Like hey, Jake, how wewe doing? Tell me how's the album coming?
We heard your last song and honestly we didn't upendo it
We don't think it'll make the cut, could've written better verses
Deadline's in a mwezi and now we starting to get nervous
Stop getting so distracted, start picking up the pen
wewe need zaidi time in the studio, and less time with your friends
'Cause it's crunch time, should be doing nothing but making music
We follow wewe on Instagram, see everything wewe doing
Yea we see wewe at the beach, at the gym, at the mall
To be honest, doesn't seem like you're working hard at all
How dare wewe say that I don't even have time to take a shit
I've been working non-stop and I'll be honest, I admit
Sometimes I need a break, this life can drive a man crazy
Especially when your label keeps calling saying you're lazy
Listen, Jake, I know it's hard
Sometimes it isn't fun
But if this album tanks, well your career could be done
If wewe ain't ready tell us now, never alisema that it was easy
Otherwise I'll be in my office, wewe know where to reach me
