[00:09.19]Yeah, lately I feel like a puppet, being pulled in 15 million different places
[00:12.73]Girlfriend's on the phone, the other line I got my agent
[00:15.42]Like hey Jake, got good news, we just booked another tour
[00:17.74]Yea that's good and all but that just means another civil war between me and my girl
[00:21.30]What am I supposed to say?
[00:22.78]Hey baby, how you doin? I missed you oh by the way I'm bout to leave again
[00:26.37]I'm going on a fall tour
[00:28.12]But I'll be back before you know it, then I'm all yours
[00:30.83]Listen Jake, she'll understand, this is more important
[00:33.13]Oh really? You wanna tell her that?
[00:34.41]Cause if I ever did she'd probably kill me
[00:36.29]Look I'm sorry Jake but it's done deal, you're leavin Thursday
[00:38.91]And you'll be on the road during Christmas and your birthday
[00:41.23]Great, my girl's mad cause I ain't there a lot
[00:43.57]And now I gotta spend my birthday in the courtyard Marryat
[00:47.15]Jake I know your stressed man, you've had a busy year
[00:48.92]But this is what you signed up for, this is your career
[00:51.62]This ain't a shooting for the weak hearted, Jake I thought you knew
[00:54.18]But you can't pursue your dream and have a normal life too
[00:56.89]If you ain't ready tell me now, I never said that it was easy
[01:00.20]Otherwise I'll be in my office, you know where to reach me
[01:02.43]Damn, I'm feelin like a puppet
[01:05.66]A goddamn puppet
[01:09.26]Being pulled in a million different ways
[01:11.09]Man I think I'm bout to break
[01:12.92]I'm a puppet
[01:14.79]A goddamn puppet
[01:17.48]Sick of feeling like a puppet
[01:20.16]Sometimes I wanna disappear, all these voices in my head
[01:22.83]I'm a... I'm a...
[01:32.83]Look, hang up with my agent, put my phone down on the table
[01:36.14]Five seconds later get a call from my label
[01:38.87]Like hey Jake, how you doin? Tell me how's the album comin?
[01:41.65]We heard your last song and honestly we didn't love it
[01:44.39]We don't think it'll make the cut, could've written better verses
[01:47.08]Deadline's in a month and now we startin to get nervous
[01:49.33]Stop getting so distracted, start pickin up the pen
[01:51.66]You need more time in the studio, and less time with your friends
[01:54.40]Cause it's crunch time, should be doing nothing but making music
[01:56.67]We follow you on Instagram, see everything you doin
[01:59.88]Yea we see you at the beach, at the gym, at the mall
[02:01.61]To be honest, doesn't seem like you're working hard at all
[02:04.67]How dare you say that I don't even have time to take a shit
[02:07.30]I've been working non-stop and I'll be honest, I admit
[02:09.75]Sometimes I need a break, this life can drive a man crazy
[02:12.84]Especially when your label keeps callin sayin you're lazy
[02:15.55]Listen Jake, I know it's hard
[02:16.98]Sometimes it isn't fun
[02:17.87]But if this album tanks, well your career could be done
[02:20.64]If you ain't ready tell us now, never said that it was easy
[02:23.37]Otherwise I'll be in my office, you know where to reach me
[02:25.67]Damn, I'm feelin like a puppet
[02:30.28]A goddamn puppet
[02:32.93]Being pulled in a million different ways
[02:35.23]Man I think I'm bout to break
[02:36.18]I'm a puppet
[02:38.46]A goddamn puppet
[02:40.63]Sick of feeling like a puppet
[02:42.97]Sometimes I wanna disappear, all these voices in my head
[02:46.12]I'm a...
