[Chorus]
Looking up at a thousand lights
I'm in the ring, holding off a thousand fights
If I want the fame, I gotta set my path right
Leave my lows behind so I can reach new heights
Thinking bout my vibes, stay awake at night
Set my sights on the fame like I'm under a spotlight
Walking my path, avoiding wrongs, finding rights
Then I'll be under a thousand lights when I take flight
[VERSE 1]
Following my dream, waiting for the time to strike
Wanna get signed but my chances are slight, tight
Like walking into a gunfight with a knife
k**ing all the obstacles in every song I write
Pre-occupied, I'm writing these rhymes
Taking my time, spitting lyrical crimes
Got a whole lyrical bible on my mind
Expressing how I shine, behind these rhyming lines
On the stage, mic at my side
Entertain the audience with lyrical homicides
I set my lifetime sights on the grand finale prize
Just want to get signed then watch the money rise
Getting rich, buy a pair of new Nikes
Put the hip to the hop, giving the floor high fives
B-boying and rapping, igniting the hype
Wrecking all the floors, outside or inside
[Chorus]
Looking up at a thousand lights
I'm in the ring, holding off a thousand fights
If I want the fame, I gotta set my path right
Leave my lows behind so I can reach new heights
Thinking bout my vibes, stay awake at night
Set my sights on the fame like I'm under a spotlight
Walking my path, avoiding wrongs, finding rights
Then I'll be under a thousand lights when I take flight
[VERSE 2-1]
Wanna spend my whole youth life spitting grime
So I gotta work towards that and find signs
To pa** trails, no matter what size
Skyline on the M5 avoiding the triple 9
I don't need support, I'm a lyrical scribe
Soon I'll have enough money to fill a pool and dive
I'll slice your spines if you wanna try tell me lies
So don't mess with my mind unless you wanna see bloodlines
[BREAK]
[VERSE 2-2]
Working for pride, just like surfing on high tides
Seasick or sick on my lyrics, pick sides
If you can't decide I'll make your mind, enjoy the ride
My fire ignites, making your mind blow, like landmines
Making money but not from records yet cos I need to get signed
I'm taking time by making these rhymes and making my next stride
I'm turning tables on time tonight starting my timeline at '99
But as my modern self not a guy who's just been sprung into life
I'm flowing fires through headphone wires so now it's a firewire
Electrocuting flow cos when I'm old I still won't retire
Staying up at night devising rhymes but still I don't get tired
Light a lighter, burn off your blunt and get higher
Which way will I go to achieve my dream, I'll strive
My rap's what I truly love, valentine's
It doesn't matter how much times I try
You'll know it's quality over quantity, if you're wise
[Chorus]
Looking up at a thousand lights
I'm in the ring, holding off a thousand fights
If I want the fame, I gotta set my path right
Leave my lows behind so I can reach new heights
Thinking bout my vibes, stay awake at night
Set my sights on the fame like I'm under a spotlight
Walking my path, avoiding wrongs, finding rights
Then I'll be under a thousand lights when I take flight
[VERSE 3]
Holding off a lifetime's worth of fights
Don't wanna sleep, I wanna walk the streets at night
Wanna get up top, climbing new heights
Stepping on stage, checking out sights
Finding the right rhyme for these rhyming lines
I only record raps once a week cos I'm tight on time
I don't need no paper cos I type to write these rhymes
This is my next attempt, I've had several tries
I'm a lyrical murderer, k**ing lyrical crimes
I'm enjoying the ride, I put my past aside
All I want to do is just entertain and excite
If I'm not satisfied, I choose to rewrite
Recapping my life, I was wrong, now I'm right
Rap stereotypes, most are black, not much whites
I wanna be spitting these bars my whole life
Then I'll be standing under a thousand lights
