    Y'know those bands that are all image and no substance? The ones that put fame and money before music and creativity? Ain't music supposed to be about music? Well, this song is what I have to say about that.

    Story Behind the Song
    I'm here for the music. What else can be said?

    Lyrics
    i'm here for the music, not the names
    but it's been lost, now it's all the same
    time frame, same name, same game
    instant fame is what we all wanna claim
    but once you get to the top, where do you go
    there's only one way to go, and you know
    unless you can show, that your skills are real
    money and looks, can't match the real deal
    you know the best singers aint even on the charts
    real musicians are artists, and music is an art
    you can't just be some 16 year old boyband kids,
    if you got no talent to start with
    yeah, i give props to the young future stars
    who know who they are, and, know they got skills to show
    flashes in the pan tho, no matter how hot
    never last long, tryin to be what they're not,
    that's why-

    i'm here for the music,
    just the music,
    and not the big names
    i'm here for the music,
    but the music,
    is all the same

    i'm here for the music,
    just the music,
    and not the big names
    i'm here for the music,
    but it's all the same thing

    what your hear on the radio, what everybody knows
    they tell us who's hot, and who's not has to go
    to the bottom of the list, and then they get dissed
    by the people for no reason, they're told to do this
    do that, do anything that they say
    as if the worst you can do is to go your own way
    i'm here for the music, not the cash
    those who move too fast, come in last
    when the lists reverse, the best turns to worst
    all your furious fast fame is nothin but your own curse
    radio repeats, same rhythms and rhymes
    that'll kill any song that ordinarily shines
    and the majority tries to be materialized
    sell a million records, then they fall off,
    the music dies, once again, without pain
    there's always another clone, it's easy to be the same

    i'm here for the music,
    just the music,
    and not the big names
    i'm here for the music,
    but the music,
    is all the same

    i'm here for the music,
    just the music,
    and not the big names
    i'm here for the music,
    but it's all the same thing

    i got nothin to hide, I wouldn't show you a fake
    i don't need to wear a mask for my image's sake
    too many singers and bands don't stand for a thing, for too long
    they go platinum, they're already gone
    had one record, 15 minutes of attention
    assembly-line bands descend through the ascention
    assumptions, based on the best of the bands
    then they start disappearing, disappointing their fans
    then they see how hard it is to take it on with their bare hands
    you gotta last to the end
    got respect from me
    for whatever you wanna do,
    just keep it real, don't pretend to be not you
    i'm here for the music, not the shock
    take down your image, stay true to what you got
    don't clone, show your own, let it be known
    I stay focused and real, with no cover to be blown


    i'm here for the music, not the looks
    i'm here for the lyrics, not the rule books
    i'm here for the music, not the names
    i'm here for the fans, not overnight fame
    i'm here for the music, not the cash
    i'm here for the real thing, not the mask
    i'm here for the beats, not billion dollar bills
    i'm here for the music, and always stay real
