Common Dominant - Lighters lyrics
[Hook: Bruno Mars] This one's for you and me, living out our dreams We're all right where we should be With my arms out wide, I open my eyes And now all I wanna see Is a sky full of lighters A sky full of lighters [Verse 1: DnA] I believe what I write, yeah ok hold up I believe what I leave on the mic is bigger than me being an MC It's me putting my eye being between the MC That's a mic and, yeah ok hold up, hold up, I got this Alright I'm spitting my life on it I'm writing, rewriting it, you can see my vision in the compositions I've written I'm writing and rewriting these lines on my notepad I don't really know bad, but I know when I look back, I know I I wanna see something bigger than what I thought was cool And what was I thinking, and what was I thinking When I thought it'd be an experience picking up with that drink and Just letting it sink in and letting it be singing I've been syncing with my demons, been corrupting my dreaming Malevolent they ain't leaving, that's the price for me leaning That's the price that I'm paying for all the sins I was leading But I'm not my mistakes, so I'm leaving em and relieving This pen here is bleeding out my emotions and feelings Writing these rhymes and sermons both ways I be preaching And I pray I've got something to say when I write Superman's in my blood but I'm a crip tonight I've been selfish and obsessed with this idea of d**h Your opinions never mattered, that's not why I'm depressed So many waters that I've been swimming in All these other guys are obsessed with women and winning em So say that you know me homie, say that you feel me I've tried to reveal me, only God and this mic can heal me I'm not spitting anymore, my soul is leaking My sole of my foot aches, my soul and my heart ache I'm so destructive to the people, but I still try to relate Wait, I don't deserve to speak, I deserve to weep For a minute I don't wanna act tough, I'm so weak God I need you to relight the fire in me [Hook: Bruno Mars] This one's for you and me, living out our dreams We're all right where we should be With my arms out wide, I open my eyes And now all I wanna see Is a sky full of lighters A sky full of lighters [Verse 2: AnR] Call me a rebel, that's what you call different people But are the people different,or is the difference In opinions Difference in what you see and difference in living Preaching different from the world like I'm the guy behind the pulpit But I couldn't do talking, leads to shaking then sweating Got a middle man for my message Just the mic that I'm facing And then it blasts from your speakers! I hope it blasts from your speakers! And makes a difference, but if not then it's just noise in my system And dads right But I'm not Gonna stay I'm gonna escalate Down the road, take a walk on the beach, and see a shell of my former self Cause I'm moving on And you should be doing the same The Past doesn't make your future Shouldn't live for yesterday You can do it, just get moving It's just one foot then the other Take a chance and now you're mobbing Stalling only gets you nothing What do I want to get out of this? Why even ask? It's all or nothing Don't take what they give me can cause you don't know me or my appetite I love introductions, cause it's almost like a glimpse Doesn't give away too much, then the full force hits One jab that'll make you blink, then the uppercut when you can't see Then you don't want to get up, ground is now a comfy mat Tackling instrumentals and making verses tap out I count that as a plus But it's still not the full purpose Make an insecure kid but down the gloves and chase his dream That's my goal why I'm working And Nobody else stood up Question floated in the air Then I said Advil be the one to try and ease the people's pain Practice to perfection, they said that practice makes perfect Then they said nobodys perfect stopped practicing it's not worth it But there goes my one shoulder Seems to be louder than the other And colder But whatever, I'm never tripping bout the weather And whether or not I make it I promise I'll never guess this Or allow it to bother me But I'll die at 17 if it means you got life from something that you heard me spit [Bridge: Bruno Mars] You and I know what it's like, to be kicked down Forced to fight But tonight, we're alright So hold up your lights Let it shine, cause [Hook: Bruno Mars] This one's for you and me, living out our dreams We're all right where we should be With my arms out wide, I open my eyes And now all I wanna see Is a sky full of lighters A sky full of lighters
