Woah
When the lights come on
If you only had one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you wanna die tomorrow
Oh, what would you do today?
I live my life, I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothin' you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart
I'ma ignite when I'm left in the dark
Ladies and gentlemen, I need your eyes closed, sealed tight
Don't think of this as rap, this is real life
Just so you can know, exactly what it feels like
Goin' where you're goin' but it just doesn't feel right
Stuck in a space where you can't breathe, can't leave
Held against your will, wishin' you had hands free
Just so you can find your way, escapin' from inside the maze
Prayin' that eventually darkness will turn to brighter days
Imagine for a moment that you couldn't see the path in front of you
In fact, everything above and under you
Do you stand still or do your best to try and stumble through?
Or take a moment to reflect and let it humble you?
See, life ain't just about the cause, there's effects
The decision that you make determines what happens next
Hit the switch and you can leave the past behind ya
But trust me when I tell you it'll blind ya
When the lights come on
If you only had one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you wanna die tomorrow
Oh, what would you do today?
I live my life, I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothin' you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart
I'ma ignite when I'm left in the dark
Huh, oh, what a sight to be seen
When the light hits you right when it might be extreme
Throw your shades on and stay strong, no way to block the shine
This type of bright, you better off stoppin' time
It's sort of like a light when it's flashin' for a picture
Paparazzi, never see it comin' 'til it hit ya
Unexpectedly, eventually, you see a change
Things that once were normal to you start feelin' strange
You realize the world is kind of upside down
Time to readjust, plus we must shine now
People all around wanna know what's goin' on
Last night my life changed when it came to break of dawn
All I'm tryna do is share how I'm growin'
When I stroll up in the spot, you'd swear that I was glowin'
I was never perfect, never claimed to be
In due time, it'll all be plain to see
When the lights come on
If you only had one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you wanna die tomorrow
Oh, what would you do today?
I live my life, I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothin' you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart
I'ma ignite when I'm left in the dark
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
