Spotlight

Told myself I wasn't gonna be this way

But here I am in Hollywood tryna promote my face

Yeah, my mama raised me to be a humble man

But then you sing a couple songs and get some compliments and

Once you get it, you try to stretch it

You pull out all of the stops (All of the stops)

You get used to the rush it's giving you

Who are you when it's gone

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

The stage is getting overcrowded, how we fight for the limelight

Am I anybody if nobody sees me?

Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me? Yeah

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

Look, comparison killing my joy (Ayy)

Still tryna fill in the void (Ayy)

I wish it was different

Feeling on minimum when they not feeling your boy

Oh y'all want a picture while I'm at dinner?

Yeah, I'm a little annoyed

But I'll probably miss it when it's all finished

And they don't want it no more

Of course, how many more likes do we need?

If we a slave to they opinion, we won't ever be free

So tell 'em I like me like this

Oh, you don't? Shoulda got your mind right

'Cause life still hands you lemons with the limelight, right?

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

The stage is getting overcrowded, how we fight for the limelight

Am I anybody if nobody sees me?

Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me? Yeah

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

Hi, my name is Swoope and I got a problem

It's not Alcoholics Anonymous

I'm addicted to all the applause that gets me high

And the prison I sit in is built outta bars I spit

Thinking 'bout giving up all of it

But I don't wanna go through withdrawals again

I'm dry, not to be high is killing me

Detox is sending me to seek my identity

Beyond my Twitter feed

My inner peace ain't in who follows me, nah

That clout is just a cloud of dust, I need sobriety now

Truth

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

The stage is getting overcrowded, how we fight for the limelight

Am I anybody if nobody sees me?

(Am I anybody if nobody sees me?)

Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me? Yeah

(Am I anybody if nobody wants to be me?)

Hey, am I even alive if I don't shine in the spotlight?

If I don't shine in the spotlight?
