Night At the Filmore

So I'm up on the stage, and my jacket is blue, but it's looking teal from the shade of the light
Never performed with a live band, I'm a little nervous, my energy not feeling right
Everybody in the crowd love the kid, loves the way I told 'em, take a different route
But I don't understand, I just rocked the stage, but it didn't bring any joy to my life
Sitting by the bar
Watching them perform
Smell of alcohol makes it kind of hard
To enjoy the stars
Standing from afar
Headache coming in, I wish I had a car
But I'll stick around
They said this is the rapper's life when you're trying to come up in your town
But this is unbearable, guess I'mma throw my own show to get myself from off the ground

So we're leaving the show
Stopping at Canes
I get a text from the girl of my dreams
Give her a call when I get in the house
Energy I've been giving her might leave her drained
Drained from the college experience I'm not experiencing 'cause I be stuck in my ways
Sorry for coming off, I'm trying to control you, I just wasn't used to you being away
We hang up the phone, you got class in the morning
Lesson I'm learning is dealing with mourning
It's dark in the room, I see demons in corners
They finally got me, they're dancing and taunting

They're telling me all your friends went to school, boy, you're a fool, drown in this pool
Telling me your mama's giving you a year, you better make it happen, blow up to the moon
Telling me, boy, nobody's coming to save you, you made the world think you was already cool
Telling me all my biggest fears I never brought to surface, this life is cruel

So I'm dropping tears through the night, Hurricane Katrina all on my shirt
Realization that the life that I desire hard to get to it, that made me tear jerk
Nique probably thinks I'm losing my mind, if my lost mind, you would know it first
I feel I'm reborn, I'm healing what's been torn, the other dude I was, throw him in hearse

Throw him in the hearse throw him in the water
Im not the other dude no more
I've been reborn

I had to be reborn to see
What's in stored for me
All the cries through the night
Cries through dark
Cried by myself
Cried from the heart
It was hard
But I made it far
Far

I had to be reborn
Kill the old self
Born a new
Kill the old self
Born a new

Reborn
Reborn
Reborn
Reborn
