Lighters Lyrics by Common Dominant

The Inevitable Dream

2016

[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 death
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
