Limelight Lyrics

Yeah, I like the fucking limelight

Yeah, I like the fucking limelight

Get it? Look they all staring at my eyes

Yeah, maybe it's cuz I'm so bright

Yeah, I like the fucking limelight

They see my dress sense and know that I'll be their highlight

Losing their eyesight

My time coming like a high tide

Press the green button here on my side

Gotta run home cuz I know I'll be losing my ride

No one really likes bright clothing

To their right side

Hindsight probably shouldn'ta worn up in this bright lime

What everybody judging me for? I'll wear what I like!

Maybe you shoulda pulled your sandals off and pants up

There's a trillion fucking belts in existence man grab one

Screw it, you're doing it who you think you're fooling, man,

Someone better throw your salmon hat off and show you that's dumb

Rapping in triplets the difference is I got a message in every line

I wear what I want cuz I know that my clothing will never match anyone's style

Maybe I'll finally revolutionize fashion so that everyone's lime

Maybe I'll rap a little bit faster so only intelligent people will like it

What am I gonna do when everybody coming up at me and criticizing me

Cuz nothing is original?

What do you expect me to do when every song that I make is cynical

I swear that it's the pinnacle of idiots admit it bro

My lyrics are incredible

I get a little bit into it

I gotta be able to make a different

Appearance, I made a little idiot persona maybe just a little too much stuff and I'm admitting it

But that woulda meant that every time I wore this

I woulda gotten idiotic idiots at my door

Maybe that's my torture

Nice door knob

I'm gonna start to get a little bit of an attitude

And grab a door bomb

Then I'm gonna snore on

Everybody hating like, "Your song

So wrong, thinking about the way that you go in long

Tangents hating and berating your mom

So long, I'm gonna find a woman I can whore on"

(What can I say though?)

I like the fucking limelight

I like the fucking limelight

Little bitch telling me off, think it's high time

I'm finally gonna have you all hear my side

Yeah, yeah, I like to go by Highlighter

Spelled like that marker nobody uses in junior high

The nice times I was made fun of for my style

I'da never worn it if not for the fact that I like it

When I was bullied I never knew how to fight back

Now that I'm older I'm bolder and I can write tracks

An introvert turned obnoxiously to a white rapper

How many rappers you know admit they play Minecraft?

You shoulda tried to crush my dream years ago back when

I was so gullible, puzzled, manipulable and sad

"Little fella, you're adorable thinking you got a shot

If you want to be a singer why don't you study more often?

Stop your drawing, focus harder, stop being fucking retarded

You're so much smarter you're going to live inside of a car

And I'da hit you hard if only your parents didn't have lawyers

Go to the back of the class and paint on the canvas you're awful."

Now I'm going to my class wearing neon t-shirts and jackets

I made myself an extrovert to help with my sadness

And ever since the Highlighter thing stuck with my gadgets

Ashes to ashes, oh look the bullies bowing to my casket like

"I'm gonna praise you to make you feel

Proud of yourself because you were obnoxious!"

Seven years later I'm suddenly waiting for when is my studio session

It's awesome! At the same time I was cautious

I'd never been in an office

Made for production of music

The level of anticipation was making me nauseous

Wrote Mental Torture for my mother who almost

Drugged herself into a coffin

All the residual anger I harbor inside for the trauma

That situation was awful, never recovered at all

I pray and I wait for the day that I make it my songs are

Playing on radio stations that they have to offer

Do I deserve it or not?

No, but even still

I like the fucking limelight

I like the fucking limelight

Fuck everybody who's wearing boring ass colors

I'ma wear the clothes I want

And if you hate it turn a blind eye.

(Yeah) I like the fucking limelight

(Highlighter, Traffic cone, Tennis ball, Toxic waste)

(Yeah) I like the fucking limelight

(Leprechaun, Joker, Mint Man, Disney villain)

(Yeah) Pretty soon I'll hate the limelight

(Glow in the dark, Green Goblin, Green Lantern, Mike Wazowski)

Lose my reputation in the limelight

(Quaker parrot, Billie Eilish, Antifreeze, Oscar the Grouch)
