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
