Limelight (2018) Lyrics

Take off, here we go, yeah, we rock the shows, yeah, we get the dough, yeah, we take the hoes

Keep things on the low, watch out for your bros, maintain the nasty flow, take off, here we go

They all look up to me, yeah, the kid is shining bright

All eyes on me, guess I'm in the limelight

Been through the struggle, yeah, I had to earn my stripes

Now they tryna copy me, I guess I'm doing it right

I was in the trenches, I was fighting to survive

Gotta spit this fire, just so I can feel alive

For success, baby, all I do is strive

So in this fortune, I'ma take a dive

Thought I had it all figured out by the night

In the morning, everything felt out of sight

They ain't have ambition, so I had to catch a flight

They so negative, they see the world in black and white

This is hard work talent, you will never have my skill

Gotta keep it real, I just speak what I feel

Yeah I'm still a kid, but I'm paying big bills

You can catch me on the hills with OJ and Kahlil

Now they tryna follow, I can't see my shadow

Stay focused, there's no promise in tomorrow

They ain't understand the plan, so I stay to myself

Now they tryna pat, my back as I go get the wealth

I was too afraid, baby, I was too shy

Now when they see me, they hope that I say hi

I would never judge you, baby, you don't have to lie

I'ma do this shit to the day that I die

They all look up to me, yeah, they kid is shining bright

All eyes on me, guess I'm in the limelight

Been through the struggle, yeah, I had to earn my stripes

Now they tryna copy me, I guess I'm doing it right

I was in the trenches, I was fighting to survive

Gotta spit this fire just so I can feel alive

For success, baby, all I do is strive

So in this fortune, I'ma take a dive

Can't believe I then accomplished the impossible

To get where I am, I had to be cynical

Please don't get it twisted, you're replaceable like a screw

Friend zoning these , bitches, that ain't nothing new

My dreams, I am living, I swear my life is a fiction

Meeting beautiful women every day, the kid is winning

Yeah, I got the wisdom, nineteen with a fucking kingdom

Yeah, they want to be here, but ain't asking when I hit them

You chose to party, so I made this monopoly

Want so much ice in my closet, I can play hockey

In the stu I'm cooking, yeah, they want the recipe

Every day, the kid is striving for prosperity

Had to play the role as if I was dumb

Now I'm counting money, yeah, my fingers getting numb

Yeah, we still young, so let's just have fun

Yeah, it's in my last name, I'm the chosen one

They all look up to me, yeah, the kid is shining bright

All eyes on me, guess I'm in the limelight

Been through the struggle, yeah, I had to earn my stripes

Now they're trying to copy me, I guess I'm doing it right

I was in the trenches, I was fighting to survive

Gotta spit this fire just so I can feel alive

For success, baby, all I do is strive

So in this fortune, I'ma take a dive

I'ma take a dive

I'm in the limelight, yeah, the kid is shining bright

All I do is write, yeah, it got me up all night

It just wasn't right, so I had to take that flight

I'ma keep it real, I ain't doing it for no likes

Tell me what you know, baby, I just wanna grow

Always on the go, baby, I cannot move slow

What they hating for, baby, we just want that dough

Yeah, I lost myself, but I keep that on the low

They all look up to me, yeah, the kid is shining bright

All eyes on me, guess I'm in the limelight

Been through the struggle, yeah, I heard it on my stripes

Now they tryna copy me, I guess I'm doing it right

I was in the trenches, I was fighting to survive

Gotta spit this fire just so I can feel alive

For success, baby, all I do is strive

So in this fortune, I'ma take a dive
