Look What if money wasn't part of success? Would the people I used to be friends with never left? What if making a name didn't come with regrets? I think that fame's a pre-cursor to death: Death of a friendship Death of a family Death of a man The misunderstood are always dead before 'they' understand Staring at ceiling fans, chop up milligrams, draw a pentagram Lucifer's not a rumor he's in the band, (damn) Liquor and vomit on my Converse Bright lights and packed concerts And right next to the gun that's on my dresser are plastic orange bottles of peer pressure And I'm ready to cave, I live in a cage How can I be a hero when I'm the one needing saved 48 hour days of this fast lane living Me and my entourage no Jeremy Piven, listen It's better to burn out then fade away is what Kurt said I felt the same until I saw his daughter and thought as a father What if tomorrow; the only I could spoil her was dying? Started crying then popped a valium turned up the volume Turn up the volume Turn up the volume Turn up the volume Turn up the volume
[Hook] For all that it's worth To live in the spotlight All of my demons come to life And all that it was And all that it could be Is lost in the darkness of the night Why should I die? (to live in the spotlight) Why should I kill myself for you? You'd let me die? (to live in the spotlight) You'd let me die inside for you.
Outro] So what you do when the cop lights Turn into a stage and a spotlight? And everyone around you starts to hate cause you got right And feel entitled like I'm supposed to stop living my life? Well this ain't 2Pac This ain't Em's show This ain't Jigga man This that Kells flow This that C-town 19-double-X rep so Welcome to my life here's a ticket to the next show, spotlight Welcome to my life here's a ticket to the next show
