Dimmer Lights

I can hear the rainclouds cry

I don't really strive to be like no star
I feel like they be shining too bright
And I ain't settin limits like I won't go far
I just prefer the glow of moonlight
I went into a battle with a raging sun
Took a minute to recover my eyes
I made a knack of doin things that can't get done
And I promise I ain't tellin no lies

I gotta stay grounded cuz you know that time flies
Stompin down hatred and I let the love rise
I can't wear evil, it don't come in my size
But it's a hefty task doin it
Makin sure I filter my influences
Luckily for me, I ain't new to this
Never been known for misconstruing shit
So don't you disrespect a nigga tutelage

I don't really strive to be like no star
I feel like they be shining too bright
And I ain't settin limits like I won't go far
I just prefer the glow of moonlight
I went into a battle with a raging sun
Took a minute to recover my eyes
I made a knack of doin things that can't get done
And I promise I ain't tellin no lies

I been hurtin, that's for certain
The lead performance in this play that you been workin
And I would never wanna lower down your curtain
So here I stand at center stage, the crowd cheers as I stand and wave
And bow down and receive the praise
It almost feels horrid tho, I really wanted a supporting role

I don't really strive to be like no star
I feel like they be shining too bright
And I ain't settin limits like I won't go far
I just prefer the glow of moonlight
I went into a battle with a raging sun
Took a minute to recover my eyes
I made a knack of doin things that can't get done
And I promise I ain't tellin no lies
