What A Shame Lyrics - Snapshot - The Strypes

They dug the shade of his mop 

They liked the way that he spoke 

They flew him out of the sticks 

And out him up in the smoke 

They gave him chocolate and cheese 

They told him he was the next 

Young son to some young life 

Straight from the crest 

The way he spat at his mic 

His lyrics couldn't be fresher 

They said he'd be a superstar 

If he could handle the pressure 

After they put it to paper 

They took him to tea 

And told him just a couple changes 

That they wanted to see 

Oh what a shame 

But it's easy, can't you see? 

Oh what a shame 

That they won't ever let you be 

They said his hair would be better 

If he colored it black 

And that he wouldn't sound as harsh if he could tone it all back 

They dressed him up in a craze 

To make him look pretty 

They said the kids would dig 

If he looked like he came from the city 

They listened back to his cut 

His music was tight 

But if he changed a couple lyrics 

In the chorus it might 

Sound fresher than ever 

A radio hit 

And all the ladies will sing it 

When they get into the pit 

Oh what a shame 

But it's easy, can't you see? 

Oh what a shame 

That they won't ever let you be, no!
