[Intro - Master P]
These n***as don't know what being independent is all about
We go way back on 'em and sh**
Man these n***as'll sell they f**ing soul for the spotlight
sh**, they want that
[Hook - Master P & Howie T]
Spotlight
Do anything for spotlight
They trickin for the spotlight
Sell they soul for the spotlight
n***as look at me and now they want my life
It's all about the spotlight
Girls will turn for the spotlight
n***as doin it for the spotlight
sh**, it's bout that spotlight
[Verse 1 - Master P]
n***as takin rides to Hollywood, turning into f*gs
n***as sell they baby mama for a motherf**ing Jag
Listenin to families just throw it in the bag
And these mothaf**as mad they ain't never had the sh** that I had, for the spotlight
n***a comin from the projects
Rappers livin off advances, never had a royalty check
And how a n***a gon' make it faking, dog?
At the least, marrying hoes that used to take it off
A n***a like me take my loss and shake it off
I'd rather go back to nothing than let you b**hes ball
f** the TV, the movie deals, the spotlight
Before I let a b**h like Kris Jenner run my life
[Hook - Howie T]
Spotlight
Do anything for the spotlight
Sell they soul for the spotlight
Take it off for the spotlight
See it's all about the spotlight
Do anything for the spotlight
Sell they soul for the spotlight
Take it off for the spotlight
See, it's all about the
[Verse 2 - Master P]
n***as seen the TLC movie and still doing bad deals
Three-Sixty n***a, yeah that's a f**in bad deal
Wearing fake chains, living in other n***as houses
And always talking millions, n***a never even seen thousands
In the studio waiting on your A&R
And while that n***a rolled up in a better car...
Than you got, n***a why you fakin homie?
And that bad ho you lusting for is taken, homie
I'd rather get independent money than be a puppet
Yeah n***a, you a star but you still a guppy
Sold ya soul to the devil and you keep frontin
Most D-Boys got more than you, you ain't got nothin
[Outro - Master P (Hook repeats)]
I ain't f**ing wit'chu pussies out here playin posse
All that old sh** about "I gotta go check with my manager"
"I gotta go check with the president of my company"
n***a, if you ain't no real n***a, don't f** wit me
I ain't tryina do no verses wit'chu
I ain't tryina do no videos wit'chu
I ain't tryina f** wit no fake n***a
All my real n***as, y'all hold y'all head up man, y'all time comin
I done did this sh** twice n***a
I get better with time
Yo neph', keep doin what'cha doin my n***a
And 1500 got me sounding so dangerous...
I'm in the spotlight n***a... on my own
