Moonlight
In this life we live in, what is the true religion?
Who's to say who deserves king over who that isn't?
Am I too stuck in my ways or was I born a witness?
Know I've seen better days, excuses made are to be given
I'm trippin', but here I am, I'm down to listen
You dragged me all the way outta town for this
So what's your proposition?
Candidly speaking, way too many been preaching
I ain't having it, meetings been full of reaching
Unsolicited teachings
"Listen, what I'm boutta say may seem egregious
But trust me I ain't like these folks, the furthest from a deacon
I've observed you from afar, saw your talents from the start
Appreciate your struggles, how you speak up from the heart
Commitments that you juggle, and the love you got for mum
How's that 9-5 hustle? They still treat you like a bum?
Look, I know firsthand 'bout potential that could've been
Here's my number and my card, let's get serious 'bout your art"
Pride before the fall
What's the price to have it all?
You wanna fly? You gotta crawl
Only question is how long?
Hey, thanks for meeting me again
I've spent the last few weeks digesting what you said
The truth is hard to swallow, I'm too stubborn in my head
No pity parties for my sorrows, ready for the next step
But before that, I'd like to know what this entails
'Cause people like you don't ever give fair deals
Ain't my first rodeo, no Juliet for Romeo
If you thought I'd just sign away, you don't know me, bro
"Haha, you really think you all that?
I got a hundred starving artists just begging for this chance
They'd start jumping on this table if I told them to dance
Do you know who I am? Do you even want it this bad?
Where's your dedication to be famous? You won't ever make it major
You ain't too big for the game that's been played for ages
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a limb to get ahead
I thought you said you'd do whatever just to get a bag
You're a dirty, filthy hypocrite, look at all the friends you ditched
Self worth tied to ideals that you wouldn't switch
If you had the riches, do you think you wouldn't scratch that itch?
Many men before you tried and failed, but sure, you'll stay legit
Between these four walls, it's only me and you
Drop the tough guy act, and don't bite what you can't chew
Everybody's got a price, after the layers been peeled
Here's the million dollar question, do we have ourselves a deal?"
Pride before the fall
What's the price to have it all?
Who's to say who deserves king over who that isn't?
Am I too stuck in my ways or was I born a witness?
Know I've seen better days, excuses made are to be given
I'm trippin', but here I am, I'm down to listen
