Creative Freedom - Lauren Sanderson

Yeah, get that BPM a little faster

We gotta make sure people like this right away

We need every fan and every brand behind us

We need you to do this our way

Here’s your written caption

Here’s what you should post

And the time that you should do it

Here’s the credits, here’s the tags

And here, Lauren

Here’s the contract that says you’ll do it

Every time I felt the pressure

They say just remember

It’s a normal feeling

You’re not selling out

Nothing’s too commercial

You said you want this, don’t ya?

You’re an up and coming artist, aren’t ya?

You’re a star, girl suck it up

Yeah I know you got a message

But the message that you got’s

Just not enough

Your demos, they’re alright

But that song with PnB, yeah that shit slapped

Talked to this producer, Lauren

He thinks he could beat that

Said he’d send a beat pack

And you know, come to think of it

Here’s a writer

She can write your story with you

Honestly, she might tell it better

Here’s a hook and here’s my checkbook

Just make sure that you listen, Lauren

She knows things, done this forever

And we just, we just think you need a transformation

Bein' realistic with ya

We see your ideas

But you’re moving too fast, Lauren

Too, too fast

We need a couple more months

You should hold off

Tell your fans you’ll be back

(Voicemail from dad)

Lauren, man, you did not work this hard to have somebody else hold you back.

You gotta remember all the way back when we were on our way to Niagara Falls

and we stopped, I think it was Point Heron, Michigan, for your very first

meet-up!

And I’m not sure who was more excited, you or the fans.

But I remember you signing taco wrappers and, uh, just recognizing that there

was something really crazy going on.

And um, I kinda told you, you know since

you were just a little baby, you know, «I love you.

I’m proud of you.

And I think, in fact I know, that you are very special.»

And now I think you

gotta go with «Love, FORMER Epic recording artist» and now «madly,

wildly independent as hell recording artist» Lauren Sanderson.

I love you, Bug.

Go get 'em
