Testo Spotlight - Machine Gun Kelly feat. Lzzy Hale
Testo della canzone Spotlight (Machine Gun Kelly feat. Lzzy Hale), tratta dall'album General Admission (Deluxe)
What if life was simple as a hug?
What if my partner wasn't crippled from a drug?
What if my other homie never caught a slug?
Shit, what if our parents actually gave a fuck?
Another black suit, another black suit
Police happy to see another black shoot
His mother's makeup smearing on my arms
Crying 'cause I'm the only son that she's got now that he's gone
What if the ghetto never heard an instrumental?
And we didn't have this rap shit, all we had was metal
You telling me if we couldn't shoot a ball
Our lives still got shooting involved?
And what if I never left out of Denver that winter for new beginnings?
My father started his business and traded family for riches
You telling me that my auntie would still have a house to live in
And JoJo wouldn't be writing me from prison?
But fuck it, this is life
Deal with it or get dealt with
I'm in my room smoking alone like I'm selfish
'Cause some days the sun's hard to face
Dad turns, his son wears his face
But look close to see the heart of a lion
Sticks and stones couldn't damage my bones harder than iron
Hundred-seventy pounds with the walk of a giant
So defiant I popped a Valium, turn up the volume
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
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 precursor 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
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 than 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 way I could spoil her was dying?
Started crying then popped a Valium, turned up the volume
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
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, nineteen 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
