I used to dream, now I stay up
All through out the night, I made my way up
Just see the stars, I pray they save some
Said if I get to close they might burn me alive yeah
Just along for the ride yeah
Gave you all of my life
Whether it's wrong or it's right, we sacrifice just to get through the night
(We sacrifice just to get through the night)
SOS, mmm can't lose myself
All that fame, yeah bad for my health
Aw I took my pain threw it on the shelf
Ooh and I sold my soul for wealth
Bought it back now, tried to push me to side I don't back down
They ain't like how I could shine from the background
Don't wanna stand out
Can't forget that nobody gave me handouts
They don't like who I've become
See their failures in my run
I can't sprint, it's a long game
E-L-Y that's a strong name
(E-L-Y that's a strong name)
Ay
Break ya neck
Mmm I can't respect
Ooh ya lost ya cred
Then I cashed my check
Yeah what they said (Huh)
Said they want me dead (Yeah)
Thought I had you fed (Damn)
Yeah I thought we bled
I used to dream, now I stay up
All through out the night, I made my way up
Just see the stars, I pray they save some
Said if I get to close they might burn me alive yeah
Just along for the ride yeah
Gave you all of my life
Whether it's wrong or it's right, we sacrifice just to get through the night
