Lights Up

I'll choke oh yeah, I know I'll choke No smoke for me, no smoke to choke I'll choke I wish I could keep it all down No joke can't you hear? can't you hear that sound? Doomed to repeat like I'm a broken machine The same worn out script, reads like a tired old scene It's feeding my doubt, takin' comfort in lies The acrid stench of failure is burnin' my eyes Can't swallow the status quo, I choke on the taste Something's gotta give, I don't have patience to waste Lights up, look like my time has come To break this mold, rewrite what I have become I can't back down, it's I do or I die I gotta go bigger, at least I just gotta try. They say, "Yo be quiet, stay in your lane" But conformity's been the source of my pain I wish I were a misfit, a dreamer, a saint But my own delusion is the reason I ain't Can't swallow the status quo, I choke on the taste Something's gotta give, I got no patience to waste Lights up, looks like my time has come To break this mold, rewrite what I have become I can't back down, yeah it's I do or I die I just gotta push myself, I just gotta try. Yeah, the doubters blow me kisses, and the trolls call me names I don't know why it makes me wanna be the one to change A soiled phoenix rising, broken wings by my side Gonna make my return noticed, or at least say that I tried Lights up, look like my time has come To break this mold, rewrite what I have become I can't back down, it's I do or I die I gotta go bigger, at least I just gotta try. So lights up, my evolution is here I ain't gonna take no skitt, I got nothin' to fear Lights up, yeah, my bark is my bite It lets me crawl out of my bed for another wasted night
