Verdict
Safe

Positive message, no mature content

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics are largely clean and carry a positive, thoughtful message about artistic integrity versus commercial pressure. The song deals with the tension between chasing fame/money and staying true to one's art and core fanbase. There is no profanity, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. The themes are mature in a philosophical sense — reflecting on career choices, social media culture, and the music industry — but are entirely appropriate for a general audience. The line 'sold my soul' is a common idiom, not a literal reference. The overall message encourages authenticity, resisting greed, and valuing meaningful art over viral popularity, which is a genuinely positive and constructive message for young listeners.

Lyrics

Blue check wants a gold plaque Appetite gotta feed that feed that Internet fame looks sweet but I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit Everybody tryna get rich get rich I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts One hit all you need for celebrity Follow that formula babe it's chemistry Me and my phone more like frenemies If you catch me in Yosemite imma be Off the grid not tryna post a pic In the lab again I'm in the labyrinth I been gathering, abracadabra-ing Uncovering what hovers on the other side Chasing the colors in the sky Not the numbers I'm Tracing another in the lines To discover my Place in this whole thing When I'm old hope the goals ring Truer than the gold I coulda sold my soul to cling to I been to Atlanta I been to LA Almost made a plan to move to Tennessee Every artist has the same question How to hold art and money in tension? Blue check wants a gold plaque Appetite gotta feed that feed that Internet fame looks sweet but I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit Everybody tryna get rich get rich I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Deep Cuts Deep Cuts I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Deep Cuts Deep Cuts I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit Everybody tryna get rich get rich I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts We're serving art to the Internet on a platter And hoping to climb the ladder Enough to produce some chatter But the fact of the matter Is after all is said and done A masterpiece to the internet is just zeros and ones So I'm done with hysteria Yeah, I studied this area And the youth of America Can refuse to inherit the disparity Where we feed all of our dreams to machinery Make your art change the scenery Make your art change the scenery! Whew let me step off my soap box real quick A Biz mix make the jukebox heel-flip The boys told me go off just did Shaking up the faux-pas no lid I'm on the brink I'm unstoppable Got more room to think than Fort Knox has gold Nobody gonna tell me different If money comes first then you gotta pay interest Blue check wants a gold plaque Appetite gotta feed that feed that Internet fame looks sweet but I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit Everybody tryna get rich get rich I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Deep Cuts Deep Cuts I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Deep Cuts Deep Cuts I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit Everybody tryna get rich get rich I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Blue check wants a gold plaque Internet fame looks sweet but I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts Execs want a big hit I already got my dream 'cause I got day ones and they wanna hear the deep cuts
