Stage Fright Lyrics

I gave you my everything, every little bit of privacy

Gave up my family to get 'em what they didn't buy for me

Dealt with the papers and not the kind you'd wanna dive in an'

Worked that in my favor, get buzz when writers started spitin' me

A perfectionist flaw, leavin' pedestrians in awe

Whether protested or not, I stir up their anger in pots

Of potheads with no parents to watch over the parental advisory sticker

And these laments that filled the text that I jot

Shit, it's like we switched places on different sides

Of where the speakers play this, you lip-syncing my lyrics tight

And connect with my clips, corrected by pigs

'Cause when speaking of clips, my short end of the stick is the grip of a nine

I bleed on the mic for your children and they drink it with ice

Case-by-case violence if the CD's case mines

Blame me, 'cause every celebrity needs a cape right?

Laugh at it, they could never see my stage fright

This is what I asked for, so let's go do this

Actin' like an asshole and press gon' blew this

I wanted just the check tho', no spread on viewings

Spotted from the get go, my passport's Judas

Anxious for the next show, the next song too an'

Platinum from a glass home I cracked for music

Mansion like a sand fort but felt cold through it

This is what I asked for, so let's go do this

Got me the life I always dreamed to pursue

The stalking and fights and interviews too

But most of the times I'm seen on Google

I just long for a diet of instant noodles

And the moment I die, I'll be introduced to

The honor of crying with no clip on YouTube

As common a guy as Lynn on ''Used To

Love Her'', I tried, but: "This the new scoop-"

Back then it didn't matter as much, even when standards were an effortless touch

But to say I can stand it would be an overstatement, so to hell with this crutch

Since the day that I landed I overstayed my American run

Made proud my little version and give 'em verses they critique or worship

But deeply nervous my ego turned me into a different person

So what? They pay for me this pent up rage

I don't know which face I'm gonna show when I get on stage

This is what I asked for, so let's go do this

Actin' like an asshole and press gon' blew this

I wanted just the check tho', no spread on viewings

Spotted from the get go, my passport's Judas

Anxious for the next show, the next song too an'

Platinum from a glass home I cracked for music

Mansion like a sand fort but felt cold through it

This is what I asked for, so let's go do this

And expectations so high, their patience goes by

Came from a basement no lights to a spaceship, low miles

The bass is so loud, but I pay it no mind

What I make they gon' like while waving more flyers

I say my own rhymes, your paper all ghostwrite

It basically died, there's flames on the ride

They sway on the sides like Shade 45

I'll spray in the sky, on stage fourth of July

They having some fun and move right-left in a mess

Of clapping on drugs and soon a climax in a sec'

Rapping their lungs mad, muting mic checks in a breath

I'm stressing, no palms stretch, using my legs as a stand

And my plan when I'm done, man, sure I felt on the mag

Then quiet fans for the contrast, tour might end in a yell

Get eyes grabbed as I sung last, moonlight blends with the red

As I grab on my gun and shoot myself in the head
