Kaly - Stagefright lyrics

[Intro] I didn't think everybody was outside.. [VERSE 1: Kaly] Let me tell em what I picture This is me before they hit the lights and I step into the flicker 'for I step into the flash, 'for the bulbs go snap And I'm looking at the fans and they looking right back And I'm pausin, with no hyping and no applausin The mic in my paws and my flaws so enormous I'm thinking back nights spent tightening my bars Screaming i'll get even when im fighting all the odds For this moment, standing on my own two and I'm ready to fall forward Why I think I could own it? I blink and I'm unfocused Like, like what if I speak and they don't notice? I'm reaching for whats hopeless I can see em already, they leaving cuz I'm choking, and I just need me a minute to let it soak in, like I just need me a minute to get it goin Then the spotlight hit and it bring me back to the moment [HOOK: Kaly] This is stage fright This is me in front of the same lights that don't shine in the day But they blinding at night (can you see em?) Yeah they blinding at night don't lose sight cuz… This is stage fright This is me in front of the same lights that don't shine in the day But they blinding at night (can you see em?) Yeah they blinding at night better keep sight [VERSE 2: Kaly] Center stage, I'm feelin like 2nd grade I'm tryna tell em my name, without em makin a face I'm tryna get em to stay, I got plenty to say I used to feel like Steve, I feel like Eddie today Cuz I see u babygirl, standin up, row A Workin overtime for tickets, you comin from far away And u rushin to the stop, jumpin on two trains Just to see sun shine, I blind like two rays And I'm sorry for the wait, I appreciate yall supported Tryna sell my soul, the devil tryna extort it I'm jus tryna exalted, they said I couldn't rhyme now I'm zonin I ain't hearin that sh**, the kid tonedeaf So put yo money on me, we takin all bets Yall been sleepin too long, so no more rest I was scared of the mic and now I'm artest Everytime the light hit me i'll never forget [HOOK: Kaly] [VERSE 3: Kaly] I'm takin my damn time now, I told my people to ride out I'm lookin through the crowd for a face Somethin to feel safe, sh** let me find out, ain't none of em make it I told em they wasn't payin, but nah, I'm just playin I'mma fool to be lookin out front, when all my people right behind me in a bunch They behind me in the clutch, gotta give it up for T, though he, ain't really with me that much Gotta drop a bar for 'noop, he threw me in the booth Gotta holler at nut for tellin me I was the truth, before anyone knew Even though you ain't ever come through, P, you know I ain't forget you Me and nik takin turns with the rap, u ain't ever give up, u retired, u know they couldn't handle that Me and mack goin bar for bar, and he ain't even spit, he tried though I ain't gon' pretend Even J we don't speak now as friends/ but u did your thing, even if I wrote your verse in the blink And Carlo never think, he just hop in the whip and ride, to PA to get kicked off stage I'm sayin, I got love for my brothas like Amzi, used to spit my bars back to me like am I that fly I can't be, nah hold that thought, for sayin they f** with me I gotta thank ark I gotta thank -------, for listenin everytime I spazzed, sayin other MC's was a** I owe you a lot big homey you believe that, askin when I'm droppin somethin new cuz u need that Now I look to vip for that feedback, if he noddin his head we get bread right?
