Jon Connor - Flashing Lights lyrics
[Intro] Yeah, look.. [Verse 1] Welcome to the world Where everybody thinks you got it Friends are all in your business Family all in your pocket Everybody's an expert on what you got in your wallet For Christmas they look to you to put candy canes in their Stockings Every night you have an experience that you wanna share And you call home excited, But it feel like nobody care They can't relate, so they selfish They feel like this isn't fair So you Wishin' that they was here, and they wishing that you was there New life, new life Getting used to my new life Driving myself crazy Tryin' to keep up with two lives Met this girl from London I think she's cool as f** While my girl back up Still keeping stressed the f** out Now see, do you stay stressed just to keep it real? Or move on and have people think you changed Because of your deal? Started not to give a f** how people look at me Cause You Only Live Once I'm just doing what make me happy [Hook w/ Jon Connor ad-libs] As i recall I know you love to show off But I never thought that you would take it this far But what do i know What do i know Ohh [Verse 2] Feeling isolated because of your occupation People sayin' you stunt in your everyday conversation Dog, nah I ain't tryin't to stunt But that's where it gets complicated This sh** you think is amazing I do on a daily basis The names you say it in the face I use them in every day phrase I be singing your favourites When it's not a special occasion So when I talk to my folks I just wanna hear something basic Now, did I meet Eminem? And who Kendrick go on a date with? Look, sometimes you just wanna be the person you were Before you were a MC Ironic how the things you leave on this fast track Are the very things you wish you could have back Like when your homeboys used to talk about girls But it's funny, wouldn't trade this life for the world But I guess life is balanced and it is a compromise For a part you have to live For a part of you has to die [Hook w/ Jon Connor ad-libs] [Verse 3] I wish I coulda got my old girl to get me I wish I coulda brought my whole hood with me Wish there wasn't a thin line between patience and envy I wish the innocence I had as a child was still in me It's funny how your old friends turn into your rivals And exchange, to become best friends with your idols And It's more about your character and less about your titles One hand to the Lord, The other hand to the Bible Now everybody acts wild Cause they got expectations of success in you And how you're supposed to act now I haven't changed but don't nothing feel the same I was dyin' to get on, another casualty of the game "No biz like showbiz", we already know dat Quitting is not an option, I came too far to go back With every fake smile, and every fake laugh A piece of your soul goes with every light flash [Hook w/ Jon Connor ad-libs] [Outro] I'm just here to tell y'all Cause ain't nobody tell me Life is balance There is no such thing as "having it all" The things that you receive Are only the payoff for things that you give up Flashing Lights Best in the World
