| One day I’m gon' finally be
|
| Everything that I ever dreamed
|
| So let the world try and hold me back
|
| I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there
|
| Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life
|
| Is gonna steal my shine
|
| Nothing’s gonna steal my shine
|
| Since I left the womb I was destined for greatness
|
| But never thought the road to greatness would be painless
|
| Yeah I feel success when the world knows what my name is
|
| But being great is so much more than just being famous
|
| Now I’m living in this dream but the passion’s gone
|
| It’s like living in a mansion when the lights ain’t on
|
| I used to think I’d have it all once I reached my dreams
|
| But now I’m standing in the grass and it ain’t quite as green
|
| Cuz everything I ever wanted is a breath away
|
| But all of it could fade in a single day
|
| So what’s the fame? |
| I’m over that
|
| Cuz sooner or later every man’s fame fades to black
|
| So I look to the sky
|
| Think about the purpose that could pass me by
|
| Livin' everyday like I’m never gon' die
|
| If I ain’t wise then what the hell am I?
|
| I think about the pain that I’ve been through
|
| And if I could go back then I would do it
|
| Cuz I know all the pain is for nothing if praying for something
|
| To keep me from suffering is only gonna be another reason I ain’t gon' shine
|
| One day I’m gon' finally be
|
| Everything that I ever dreamed
|
| So let the world try and hold me back
|
| I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there
|
| Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life
|
| Is gonna steal my shine
|
| Nothing’s gonna steal my shine
|
| Spotlight overdose
|
| Ask yourself what it is you want the most…
|
| A minute in this game, chasing all the fame?
|
| Hiding all your pain just so people know your name?
|
| Then all the sudden that fame is gone
|
| And your shine is dead like a forgotten song
|
| When the fans don’t scream and your phone don’t ring
|
| And you’ve sold your soul to a devil in a suit for a deal and an empty dream
|
| What you got left but just a memory of what you used to be?
|
| If life’s a breath then let it echo through eternity!
|
| Pour out my pain and suffering, write out my broken heart
|
| A song for every scar like every scar’s a gift from God
|
| I want to shine light that
|
| Ain’t never gonna fade when the stage goes black
|
| When everything I love makes pain my past
|
| And I can be the reason that I never look back
|
| I think about the dirt that I’ve been through
|
| And all the good in my life that I did do
|
| So I’m living for the moment, never think about the struggle
|
| I don’t ever wanna give another minute to a record label stealing my shine
|
| One day I’m gon' finally be
|
| Everything that I ever dreamed
|
| So let the world try and hold me back
|
| I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there
|
| Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life
|
| Is gonna steal my shine
|
| Nothing’s gonna steal my shine |
