| Told myself I wasn’t gonna be this way
|
| But here I am in Hollywood tryna promote my face
|
| Yeah, my mama raised me to be a humble man
|
| But then you sing a couple songs and get some compliments and
|
| Once you get it, you try to stretch it
|
| You pull out all of the stops (All of the stops)
|
| You get used to the rush it’s giving you
|
| Who are you when it’s gone
|
| Hey, am I even alive if I don’t shine in the spotlight?
|
| The stage is getting overcrowded, how we fight for the limelight
|
| Am I anybody if nobody sees me?
|
| Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me? |
| Yeah
|
| Hey, am I even alive if I don’t shine in the spotlight?
|
| Look, comparison killing my joy (Ayy)
|
| Still tryna fill in the void (Ayy)
|
| I wish it was different
|
| Feeling on minimum when they not feeling your boy
|
| Oh y’all want a picture while I’m at dinner?
|
| Yeah, I’m a little annoyed
|
| But I’ll probably miss it when it’s all finished
|
| And they don’t want it no more
|
| Of course, how many more likes do we need?
|
| If we a slave to they opinion, we won’t ever be free
|
| So tell 'em I like me like this
|
| Oh, you don’t? |
| Shoulda got your mind right
|
| 'Cause life still hands you lemons with the limelight, right?
|
| Hey, am I even alive if I don’t shine in the spotlight?

|
| Am I anybody if nobody sees me?
|
| Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me? |

|
| Hi, my name is Swoope and I got a problem
|
| It’s not Alcoholics Anonymous
|
| I’m addicted to all the applause that gets me high
|
| And the prison I sit in is built outta bars I spit
|
| Thinking 'bout giving up all of it
|
| But I don’t wanna go through withdrawals again
|
| I’m dry, not to be high is killing me
|
| Detox is sending me to seek my identity
|
| Beyond my Twitter feed
|
| My inner peace ain’t in who follows me, nah
|
| That clout is just a cloud of dust, I need sobriety now
|
| Truth
|
| Hey, am I even alive if I don’t shine in the spotlight?
|

|

|
