[00:30.03] |
For all that it's worth |
[00:32.23] |
To live in the spotlight |
[00:35.87] |
|
[00:42.48] |
What if life was simple as a hug? |
[00:44.46] |
What if my partner wasn't crippled from a drug? |
[00:46.93] |
What if my other homie never caught a slug? |
[00:50.39] |
What if our parents acutally gave a ****? |
[00:52.74] |
Another black suit, another black suit |
[00:55.17] |
Police happy to see another black shoot |
[00:57.75] |
His mother's make up smearing on my arms |
[00:59.16] |
Crying cause I'm the only son that she's got now that he's gone |
[01:02.38] |
What if the ghetto never heard an instrumental? |
[01:05.43] |
And we didn't have this rap ****t all we had was metal? |
[01:07.90] |
You telling me if we couldn't shooting a ball |
[01:09.65] |
Our lives still got shooting involved? |
[01:11.86] |
And what if I never left out of Denver that winter for new beginnings |
[01:15.12] |
My father started his business and traded family for riches? |
[01:17.60] |
You telling me that my auntie will still have a house to live in |
[01:20.35] |
And JoJo wouldn't be writing me from prison? |
[01:22.37] |
But **** it this is life |
[01:24.13] |
Deal with it or get dealt with |
[01:26.12] |
I'm in my room smoking alone like I'm selfish |
[01:28.19] |
Cause some days the sun's hard to face |
[01:31.24] |
Dad turns his son wears his face |
[01:34.28] |
But look closer see the heart of a lion |
[01:36.55] |
Sticks and stones couiln't damage my bones harder then iron |
[01:39.18] |
170 pounds with the walk of a giant |
[01:41.67] |
So defiant I pop a Valium, turn up the volume |
[01:45.46] |
|
[01:45.77] |
Turn up the volume |
[01:48.28] |
Turn up the volume |
[01:50.22] |
Turn up the volume |
[01:52.53] |
For all that it's worth |
[01:55.04] |
To live in the spotlight |
[01:57.81] |
All of my demons come to life |
[02:02.35] |
And all that it was |
[02:05.42] |
And all that it could be |
[02:07.97] |
Is lost in the darkness of the night |
[02:13.33] |
Why should I die? |
[02:15.91] |
To live in the spotlight |
[02:18.53] |
Why should I kill myself for you? |
[02:23.57] |
You'd let me die? |
[02:26.01] |
To live in the spotlight |
[02:28.82] |
You'd let me die inside for you... |
[02:34.88] |
Look |
[02:36.02] |
What if money wasn't part of success? |
[02:38.09] |
Whould the people I used to be friends with never left? |
[02:40.46] |
What if making a name didn't come with regrets? |
[02:42.99] |
I think that fame's a pre-cursor to death: |
[02:45.71] |
Death of a friend****p |
[02:46.67] |
Death of a family |
[02:47.24] |
Death of a man |
[02:48.05] |
The misunderstood are always dead before 'they' understand |
[02:51.38] |
Starting at ceiling fans, chop up milligrams, draw a pentagram |
[02:54.56] |
Lucifer's not a rumor he's in the band, damn |
[02:57.70] |
Liquor and vomit on my Converse |
[02:59.56] |
Bright lights and packed concerts |
[03:02.00] |
And right next to the gun |
[03:03.23] |
that's on my dresser are plastic orange bottles of peer pressure |
[03:06.13] |
And I'm ready to cave, I live in a cage |
[03:08.50] |
How can I be a hero when I'm the one needing saved |
[03:11.11] |
48 days of this fast lane living |
[03:13.49] |
Me and my entourage no Jeremy Piven, listen |
[03:16.39] |
It's better to burn out then fade away is what Kurt said |
[03:19.01] |
I felt the same until I saw his daughter and thought as a father |
[03:21.76] |
What if tomorrow; the only I could spoil her was dying? |
[03:25.26] |
Started crying then popped a valium turned up the volume |
[03:29.85] |
Turn up the volume |
[03:31.85] |
Turn up the volume |
[03:33.87] |
Turn up the volume |
[03:36.12] |
For all that it's worth |
[03:38.61] |
To live in the spotlight |
[03:41.46] |
All of my demons come to life |
[03:46.27] |
And all that it was |
[03:48.92] |
And all thet it could be |
[03:51.58] |
Is lost in the darkness of the night |
[03:56.76] |
Why should I die? |
[03:59.38] |
To live in the spotlight |
[04:02.26] |
Why should I kill myself for you? |
[04:06.94] |
You'd let me die? |
[04:10.00] |
To live in the spotlight |
[04:12.24] |
You 'd let me die inside of you... |
[04:30.13] |
So what you do when the cop lights |
[04:31.94] |
Turn into a stage and a spotlight? |
[04:33.41] |
And everyone around you starts to hate cause you got right |
[04:36.69] |
And feel entitled like I'm supposed to stop living my life? |
[04:39.22] |
Well this ain't 2Pac |
[04:40.80] |
This ain't EM's show |
[04:41.78] |
This ain't Jigga man |
[04:43.03] |
This that Kells flow |
[04:44.34] |
This that C-town 19-double-X rep so |
[04:47.41] |
Welcome to my life here's a ticket to the next show spotlight |
[04:58.30] |
