Limelight

(The limelight)
(Ooh, ooh)

I took a drug out on the east coast
They call it glory and it's straight to the brain
Got my head up in the clout
Now I'm chasing a bitter taste, yeah

I've been trying to find a cheat code (cheat code)
A way to sell out and go straight to the bank
But then I get to questioning
The second I see Your face

Is this Your wish, or just the Adam in me?
Is this Your gift, or just the apple I see?
Hold it to my lips, wanna sink my teeth
But I know, I know, I know

I've been pushing and shoving to get the limelight
I've been rushing and running it off Your timeline
I don't know where I'm going now
But I know I should slow it down

Going dimmer and darker to get the limelight
Feel it getting harder to turn a blind eye
Trading treasures for broken crowns
But I know, I know, I know

I know You've got use for me truthfully
I just lose myself inside of my mind
I spin a fairytale of what could be mine
Plagiarizing Your writing, mmm

And I know You've got plenty of enemies
In Your image, oh and I'm terrified
That I'm becoming one
Cause I keep fighting Your timing
Trying to run with the darkness
As I beg You to light it

So is this Your wish, or just the Adam in me?
Is this Your gift, or just the apple I see?
Hold it to my lips, wanna sink my teeth
But I know, I know, I know

I've been pushing and shoving to get the limelight
I've been rushing and running it off Your timeline
I don't know where I'm going now
But I know I should slow it down

Going dimmer and darker to get the limelight
Feel it getting harder to turn a blind eye
Trading treasures for broken crowns
But I know, I know, I know

I know You've got use for me truthfully
I just lose myself and
I know You've got plenty of enemies
I don't wanna be one
I don't wanna be one
I don't wanna be one (ooh yeah)
I know You've got use for me truthfully
I just lose myself and
I know You've got plenty of enemies
I don't wanna be one
I don't wanna be one (don't wanna be one)
I don't wanna be one (ooh yeah)
