Spotlight |
Feel this… |
For all that it’s worth |
To live in the spotlight… |
What if life was simple as a hug? |
What if my partner wasn’t crippled from a drug? |
What if my other homie never caught a slug? |
What if our parents actually gave a fuck? |
Another black suit, another black suit |
Police happy to see another black shoot |
His mother’s make up smearing on my arms, |
Crying cause' I’m the only son that she’s got now that he’s gone |
What if the ghetto never heard an instrumental? |
And we didn’t have this rap shit all we had was metal? |
You telling me if we couldn’t shoot a ball |
Our lives still got shooting involved? |
And what if I never left out of Denver that winter for new beginnings |
My father started his business and traded family for riches? |
You telling me that my auntie will still have a house to live in |
And JoJo wouldn’t be writing me from prison? |
But fuck it this is life |
Deal with it or get dealt with |
I’m in my room smoking alone like I’m selfish |
Cause' some days the sun’s hard to face |
Dad turns his son wears his face |
But look closer see the heart of a lion |
Sticks and stones couldn’t damage my bones harder then iron |
170 pounds with the walk of a giant |
So defiant I pop a Valium, turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
For all that it’s worth |
To live in the spotlight |
All of my demons come to life |
And all that it was |
And all that it could be |
Is lost in the darkness of the night |
Why should I die? |
(to live in the spotlight) |
Why should I kill myself for you? |
You’d let me die? |
(to live in the spotlight) |
You’d let me die inside for you… |
Look |
What if money wasn’t part of success? |
Would the people I used to be friends with never left? |
What if making a name didn’t come with regrets? |
I think that fame’s a pre-cursor to death: |
Death of a friendship |
Death of a family |
Death of a man |
The misunderstood are always dead before 'they' understand |
Staring at ceiling fans, chop up milligrams, draw a pentagram |
Lucifer’s not a rumor he’s in the band, (damn) |
Liquor and vomit on my Converse |
Bright lights and packed concerts |
And right next to the gun that’s on my dresser are plastic orange bottles of |
peer pressure |
And I’m ready to cave, I live in a cage |
How can I be a hero when I’m the one needing saved |
48 hour days of this fast lane living |
Me and my entourage no Jeremy Piven, listen |
It’s better to burn out than fade away is what Kurt said |
I felt the same until I saw his daughter and thought as a father |
What if tomorrow; |
the only I could spoil her was dying? |
Started crying then popped a valium turned up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
Turn up the volume |
For all that it’s worth |
To live in the spotlight |
All of my demons come to life |
And all that it was |
And all that it could be |
Is lost in the darkness of the night |
Why should I die? |
(to live in the spotlight) |
Why should I kill myself for you? |
You’d let me die? |
(to live in the spotlight) |
You’d let me die inside for you… |
So what you do when the cop lights |
Turn into a stage and a spotlight? |
And everyone around you starts to hate cause you got right |
And feel entitled like I’m supposed to stop living my life? |
Well this ain’t 2Pac |
This ain’t Em’s show |
This ain’t Jigga man |
This that Kells flow |
This that C-town 19-double-X rep so |
Welcome to my life here’s a ticket to the next show, spotlight |
Welcome to my life here’s a ticket to the next show |
