Wasn't this the kind of thing you were hoping for? Or cry instead, what are you scared of? Wasn't this the kind of thing you'd been wanting? The life you hoped for, the life you wanted The life you chose, you achieved everything without regrets And on top of that, you have a big house, big cars, big rings All the things you wanted, you've got it all So what's the problem? Just enjoy it Or just let it go, no? Then run, or stop Don't whine, just choose one or the other You're saying I never told you that? (Yeah, yeah) You're asking me if I really didn't know? (Oh no) I'll simply take just as much as you own, whatever it is That at times, your rest becomes your fall Do you finally get it? That giving it your best effort every time is what it means to do your best The moment I'm flying high as I wished My shadow grows in that blasting stark light Please don't let me shine Don't let me down, don't let me fly Now I'm afraid The moment I face myself brought lowest It so happens that I'm flying the highest Please don't let me shine Don't let me down, don't let me fly Now I'm scared Don't let me shine I wanna be a rap star, I wanna be the top I wanna be a rockstar, I want it all mine I wanna be rich, I wanna be the king I wanna go win, I wanna be I wanna be a rap star, I wanna be the top I wanna be a rockstar, I want it all mine I wanna be rich, I wanna be the king I wanna be me, I wanna be... Yeah I'm you, you are me, now do you know Yeah you are me, I'm you, now you do know We are one body, sometimes we will clash You can never break me off, this you must know Yeah yeah can't break me off, whatever you do Yeah you'll be at ease if you admit it too Yeah succeed or fail, whichever way you flow Yeah you can't escape, wherever you go I am you, you are me, now you do know You are me, I am you, now do you know We are one body and we are gonna clash We are you, we are me, this do you know
