All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side (it's the dark side)
All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side

Welcome to the dark side (dark side)
Where you can witness a star rise
Or fall dying - a far cry (far cry)
Enjoying pearls in hard times (hard times)
Since boy meets world and smart guy

I had a passion (passion)
And wouldn't shy away from action Even as a small fry (nope)
Though I had plenty eggs in my basket
Between basketball and rapping
I imagined I could do it alright
Except was caught in the crossfire (crossfire)
Between the sharp-minded hearts in a dogfight with false idols
Wasn't taught life
But brought life to art
I can show you archives
Just alright
Still alright (alright)

And for all them long nights
I dreamt about the day that they would turn on all the lights
To see me shine
I recognize the real divine
And God's might
To never have me turning off mine
And that's why

All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life (my life)
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side (it's the dark side)
All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side

It's the dark side (dark side)
Where you're scrutinized into suicide or crucified (crucified)
Dehumanized
Who am I (who)
It's do or die (die)
Lose your mind
Or lose your life (lose your life)

You see I was just a kid with a dream Praying for the day the whole world would listen to me
Indigo He
Sentient being
Simpson complete
Living for peace
But all is different
I see

Ain't no doing it for the love
Ain't no giving for free
Ain't no worshiping one above
More like him underneath
A superstar then coup d'état
Switch in the media
Got the whole world tripping over trends that are weak

When their words hold no weight
I drop gems when I speak
And I peep
The darkness within the thick of the people
Sipping that evil
Swimming with demons
Fishing for reasons to do the wrong thing
Should've listened to Lee (should've listened)

See I could've turned out worse
But I was born with a purpose
Seek truth and speak truth in all of my verses
Actions led by God
Not by that of a serpent
Guess fortune and fame just ain't even worth it
But hold the curtains please

I gotta get the word out (word out) Before this mother burn down (burn down)
In my skin is the home of the brave Where I stand is my world stage
Hear me when I say

All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life (my life)
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side (it's the dark side)
All my life (my life)
My life (my life)
My life
I just wanted the spotlight (spotlight)
Till I learned that it's not light
It's the dark side
