The Opener

I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
 Singing all my songs and nobody know em
 I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
 Standing by the table if they want a photo
 Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
 But they don't know my name
 These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
 I'm the opener, yeah, just the opener
 Tour's good, it's going good so far
 I don't get a green room, so I changed in my car
 Yeah, I got my, my favorite songs on my setlist
 But I can't get none of my homies on the guest list
 But fuck it, they gas me up and call me famous
 Girls at the bar probably don't know what my name is
 But I ain't even trippin', you know I find it funny
 'Cause I brought a bunch of drugs with my merch money
 I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
 And I just came to sing, maybe make a new fan
 I know that you don't care, yeah I know where I stand
 But I appreciate the love, would you give me a chance
 Because I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
 Singing all my songs and nobody know em
 I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
 Standing by the table if they want a photo
 Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
 But they don't know my name
 These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
 I'm the opener, yeah, the opener
 Hell no, I didn't get a soundcheck
 Yeah, don't even know what time my set's at
 Yeah, but that's all part of the biz
 Well, if you're asking me, that shit just don't make sense
 Sleep at a Red Roof Inn, yeah, they nice
 My homies shared a bed, so it's half the price
 At least the venue gave me money for food
 But what I do, I just skip the meal and bought more booze
 Because I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
 She only hit the show 'cause she knows the band
 She stand at the back like she isn't a fan
 But knows the words, gots the merch
 I just don't understand
 Because I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
 Singing all my songs that nobody knows
 I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
 Standing by the table if they want a photo
 Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
 But they don't know my name
 These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
 I'm the opener, yeah, the opener
 Okay, the Beetles used to open shows
 Yeah, Elton John used to open shows
 Yeah, Lady Gaga used to open shows
 Yeah, Kendrick Lamar used to open shows
 Uh, even Beyoncé used to open shows
 Yeah, ACDC used to open shows
 Yeah, so damn right I still open shows
 Yeah, but I'm more than the opener
 More than my CD
 More than these lights, I just want people to see me
 I know I ain't made it yet
 But I know you won't forget
 The first time that you saw me tonight
 Yeah, I was the first on stage but they didn't know my name
 These last few songs were my 15 of fame
 I'm the opener
 Yeah, the opener
