[Intro]
I didn't think everybody was outside..
[VERSE 1: Kaly]
Let me tell em what I picture
This is me before they hit the lights and I step into the flicker
'for I step into the flash, 'for the bulbs go snap
And I'm looking at the fans and they looking right back
And I'm pausin, with no hyping and no applausin
The mic in my paws and my flaws so enormous
I'm thinking back nights spent tightening my bars
Screaming i'll get even when im fighting all the odds
For this moment, standing on my own two and I'm ready to fall forward
Why I think I could own it? I blink and I'm unfocused
Like, like what if I speak and they don't notice?
I'm reaching for whats hopeless
I can see em already, they leaving cuz I'm choking, and
I just need me a minute to let it soak in, like
I just need me a minute to get it goin
Then the spotlight hit and it bring me back to the moment
[HOOK: Kaly]
This is stage fright
This is me in front of the same lights that don't shine in the day
But they blinding at night (can you see em?)
Yeah they blinding at night don't lose sight cuz…
This is stage fright
This is me in front of the same lights that don't shine in the day
But they blinding at night (can you see em?)
Yeah they blinding at night better keep sight
[VERSE 2: Kaly]
Center stage, I'm feelin like 2nd grade
I'm tryna tell em my name, without em makin a face
I'm tryna get em to stay, I got plenty to say
I used to feel like Steve, I feel like Eddie today
Cuz I see u babygirl, standin up, row A
Workin overtime for tickets, you comin from far away
And u rushin to the stop, jumpin on two trains
Just to see sun shine, I blind like two rays
And I'm sorry for the wait, I appreciate yall supported
Tryna sell my soul, the devil tryna extort it
I'm jus tryna exalted, they said I couldn't rhyme now I'm zonin
I ain't hearin that shit, the kid tonedeaf
So put yo money on me, we takin all bets
Yall been sleepin too long, so no more rest
I was scared of the mic and now I'm artest
Everytime the light hit me i'll never forget
[HOOK: Kaly]
[VERSE 3: Kaly]
I'm takin my damn time now, I told my people to ride out
I'm lookin through the crowd for a face
Somethin to feel safe, shit let me find out, ain't none of em make it
I told em they wasn't payin, but nah, I'm just playin
I'mma fool to be lookin out front, when all my people right behind me in a bunch
They behind me in the clutch, gotta give it up for T, though he, ain't really with me that much
Gotta drop a bar for 'noop, he threw me in the booth
Gotta holler at nut for tellin me I was the truth, before anyone knew
Even though you ain't ever come through, P, you know I ain't forget you
Me and nik takin turns with the rap, u ain't ever give up, u retired, u know they couldn't handle that
Me and mack goin bar for bar, and he ain't even spit, he tried though I ain't gon' pretend
Even J we don't speak now as friends/ but u did your thing, even if I wrote your verse in the blink
And Carlo never think, he just hop in the whip and ride, to PA to get kicked off stage
I'm sayin, I got love for my brothas like Amzi, used to spit my bars back to me like am I that fly
I can't be, nah hold that thought, for sayin they fuck with me I gotta thank ark
I gotta thank -------, for listenin everytime I spazzed, sayin other MC's was ass
I owe you a lot big homey you believe that, askin when I'm droppin somethin new cuz u need that
Now I look to vip for that feedback, if he noddin his head we get bread right?
And last but not least can't let nem slide, told u i'd do it for u, and I ain't ever lie
Dreams they never die, me? see I used to pray nights
Now these suckas is prayin I play nice
And all I gotta do is get over this stagefright
Fuck it we on our way, I won't even think twice…
