Tha Chill - Lights, Fame, Fortune lyrics

[Verse 1: Granyte] I remember back when I was a child, thinking about blowing up/ Little did I know after Nas the game was all about going dumb/ I still sat in the corner with a pad, I would go for months/ And just scribble the words down, notepads my devotionals/ Hope you know I kept going, here I am, rebel without a cause/ Mask on, penetatary for these thousand bars/ Finally in the Mile High City, scream it from the mountaintops/ I keep expecting to wake up, all I can hear are these loud alarms/ The countless storms are weighing heavy, just wanna make it out/ These voices keep tearing me down, just seems to make me doubt/ That I can ever get out of these pages, all the cliches about/ Being stuck behind these bars, or raps so hot they could blaze an ounce/ The monster in my mind is knocking down these doors, I'm fading out/ I'm another white rapper with daddy issues, I'm hardly breaking grounds/ But this is my story, can't change the channel with a lost remote/ f** it man, I can't see the end, but that's just how the story goes/ [Chorus: Eli Rebich] And that's the way the story goes/ It lights the open road/ It's all or nothing and it's time to leave/ Your introduction to the next big thing/ I'll be the frequencies that are frequently in stereo/ When I get home the world will know/ About lights, fame, and fortune/ [Verse 2: Granyte] Trying to live in the present, but my past overwhelms me/ Started this life on a full tank, but now I'm so close to empty/ Just wanna get it over with, hope to open new endings/ A hypocritical cynical ba*tard, just k** me/ Wish I couldn't feel, never dealing with this broken heart/ I could change the way I was perceived at a moment's prompt/ I just wanna keep on drinking then screaming till my throat is hoarse/ Can't be too real on a track, otherwise I'm showing flaws/ But if I don't explain why I'm here, then I'm just a poser/ Give a man a mask right, I guess I've become the poster/ Honestly, given my heart right now, there's nothing colder/ Just take everything away, wondering why we're becoming smokers/ Thought this music would make a difference, be the young composer/ Call me what you want, but you can never cut the motor/ This is my story, can't change the channel with a lost remote/ f** it man, I can't see the end, but that's just how the story goes/ [Chorus: Eli Rebich] And that's the way the story goes/ It lights the open road/ It's all or nothing and it's time to leave/ Your introduction to the next big thing/ I'll be the frequencies that are frequently in stereo/ When I get home the world will know/ About lights, fame, and fortune/ x2
