Spotlight Lyrics - General Admission - Machine Gun Kelly

Feel this... 

For all that it's worth 

To live in the spotlight... What if life was simple as a hug? 

What if my partner wasn't crippled from a drug? 

What if my other homie never caught a slug? 

What if our parents actually gave a fuck? 

Another black suit, another black suit 

Police happy to see another black shoot 

His mother's make up smearing on my arms, 

Crying cause' I'm the only son that she's got now that he's gone 

What if the ghetto never heard an instrumental? 

And we didn't have this rap shit all we hadwas metal? 

You telling me if we couldn't shoot a ball 

Our lives still got shooting involved? 

And what if I never left out of Denver that winter for new beginnings 

My father started his business and traded family for riches? 

You telling me that my auntie will still have a house to live in 

And Jo 

Jo wouldn't be writing me from prison? 

But fuck it this is life 

Deal with it or get dealt with 

I'm in my room smoking alone like I'm selfish 

Cause' some days the sun's hard to face 

Dad turns his son wears his face 

But look closer see the heart of a lion 

Sticks and stones couldn't damage my bones harder then iron170 pounds with the walk of a giant 

So defiant I pop a valium turn up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volumeFor all that it's worth 

To live in the spotlight 

All of my demons come to life 

And all that it was 

And all that it could be 

Is lost in the darkness of the night 

Why should I die?(to live in the spotlight) 

Why should I kill myself for you? 

You'd let me die?(to live in the spotlight) 

You'd let me die inside for you... Look 

What if money wasn't part of success? 

Would the people I used to be friends withnever left? 

What if making a name didn't come with regrets? 

I think that fame's a pre-cursor to death: 

Death of a friendship 

Death of a family 

Death of a man 

The misunderstood are always dead before 'they' understand 

Staring at ceiling fans, 

Chop up milligrams 

Draw a pentagram 

Lucifer's not a rumor he's in the band, (damn) 

Liquor and vomit on my Converse 

Bright lights and packed concerts 

And right next to the gun that's on my dresser are plastic orange bottles of 

Peer pressure 

And I'm ready to cave 

I live in a cage 

How can I be a hero when I'm the one needing saved48 days of this fast lane living 

Me and my entourage no Jeremy Piven, listen 

It's better to burn out then fade away is what Kurt said 

I felt the same until I saw his daughter and thought as a father'what if tomorrow the only I could spoil her was dying?' 

Started crying then popped a valium turned up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volume 

Turn up the volumeFor all that it's worth 

To live in the spotlight 

All of my demons come to life 

And all that it was 

And all that it could be 

Is lost in the darkness of the night 

Why should I die?(to live in the spotlight) 

Why should I kill myself for you? 

You'd let me die?(to live in the spotlight) 

You'd let me die inside for you... So what you do when the cop lights 

Turn into a stage and a spotlight? 

And everyone around you starts to hate cause you got right 

And feel entitled like I'm supposed to stopliving my life? 

Well this ain't 2Pac 

This ain't Em's show 

This ain't Jigga man 

This that Kells flow 

This that C-town 19-double-X rep so 

Welcome to my life here's a ticket to the next show, spotlight 

Welcome to my life here's a ticket to the next show
