Limelight

Oh the storms coming
Will we make it inside, will we make it inside
My belief's running
Will I live through the night, will I live through the night
Oh Lord, will you just tell me
I need your help, and I need your time
Oh I, I know what I love
Somebody just told me that they friend said that I'm trash (Just tell me, just tell me why)
Thank you, I needed that (Just tell me why)
Look

It's my turn, I'm shining in this limelight
They said "Philly, when you dropping?" when the time's right
It's my turn, look, I'm shining in this limelight
Had to wait, until God told me that the time's right
Had to wait my turn, and had to level up
Sorry, if I'm running behind schedule
Last girl left me, and all my demons woke up
Fashionably late, just be glad I showed up

Structured criticism, they said "man you trash"
Manipulated, came a long way from backlash
I was broke and hated, now I'll do the dash
In a wraith, now I hide my insecurities with cash
Yeah, I bought so many chains, tryna heal these battle scars
They said "Philly, this is lame, you won't never make it far"
She left me in so much pain, can't play our songs on guitar
So I switched to the fast lane, in a convertible Jaguar

It's my turn, I'm shining in the limelight
They said "Philly, when you dropping?" when the time's right
It's my turn, look I'm shining in this limelight
Had to wait, until God told me that the time's right
Had to wait my turn, and had to level up
Sorry, if I'm running behind schedule
Last girl left me, and all my demons woke up
Fashionably late, just be glad I showed up

But, when you show up, so do all your problems
Guess this karma, for not wearing condoms
All your demons, came alive and they blossomed
Spent your whole life running from martians and goblins
Run a lil faster, never look back
This is disaster, run through the grass
My pastor said, go preach to the masses
Stop skipping classes, start giving back
Start doing more, never look back
Feeling their energy, now you're surrounded
And that new Jaguar, just got impounded
All of your charges caught up and you're drowning
So many charges, that you stopped counting
All of the trauma you hid from is mounting
Put your hands up, they yell, as they surrounding you
No longer wanted, they found you
And all your ops gonna clown you
So you start questioning how to
Actually heal, stay out the pound
You should know it's God you're bound to

Lord, I don't have the strength (We will say yes, we will say yes)
And I'm not qualified and honestly, I don't know what I'm doing
I pray Lord, that you show up in a mighty way (Say yes, Lord, yes, Lord)
I know you can give me the strength (We will say yes)
I know through you, I'm qualified
And thankfully, you know what you're doing, even when I don't
(We will say yes, we will Say yes)
I have been crucified with christ (Say yes, Lord)
It is no longer I who live, but you who live in me (yes, Lord)
I live by faith in you, who loved me, and died for me (We will say yes)
