Limelight Lyrics by Wa$hington(Rap)

Nightlife

2023

[Hook]
I had to try
To become the guy
I had to grind
All through the nighttime
Til I saw the sunlight
Now that the time's right
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine now
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight now
[Verse 1]
Lights, camera, action (Yeah)
Payment method erase the tension (Yeah)
Lookin' for that spark I had to find it
And it’s perfect timin'
Waitin' when the time's right
We gon' fly high
I’m in the limelight (Yeah the limelight)
And that’s all mine
And you ain’t know the plan
You wasn’t in the beginnin' (Wasn't there)
I’m a nice guy
Lord knows I be sinnin'
I used to care if I fit in (Nah)
Now I just do my thing
You missed ya shot (Missed ya shot)
Me, I swished it (Yeah)
[Pre-Hook]
Was the poster boy (Yeah)
Before the billboard (Yeah)
When you see me livin' good
Don’t come out the woodwork (Nah)
I get to the work
If you lackin' it’s me or you
Why I gotta do what I gotta do
Was the poster boy
Before the billboard
When you see me livin' good
Don’t come out the woodwork (Nah nah)
I get to the work (Yeah)
If you lackin' it’s me or you
Why I gotta do what I gotta do (Yeah)
[Hook]
I had to try
To become the guy
I had to grind
All through the nighttime
Til I saw the sunlight
Now that the time's right
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine now
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight now
[Verse 2]
When the student ready (Yeah I'm ready)
The teacher gonna appear
Where ya at, 'cause bro I’m right here  (Yeah I'm right here)
No need to learn nothin'
Already turned nothin' into somethin' (Yes I did)
They thought I was bluffin'
Like how can that be
Bro 'cause I be buzzin'
What goes up must come down
They let me get famous off the word of mouth (Yeah)
Up all night, I’m scared to go to sleep
Like Freddy in my dreams
They tell me not to lose my head like Sleepy Hollow
It’s already gone though
[Pre-Hook]
Was the poster boy (Yeah)
Before the billboard (Yeah)
When you see me livin' good
Don’t come out the woodwork (Nah)
I get to the work
If you lackin' it’s me or you
Why I gotta do what I gotta do
Was the poster boy
Before the billboard
When you see me livin' good
Don’t come out the woodwork (Nah nah)
I get to the work (Yeah)
If you lackin' it’s me or you
Why I gotta do what I gotta do (Yeah)
[Hook]
I had to try
To become the guy
I had to grind
All through the nighttime
Til I saw the sunlight
Now that the time's right
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine now
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I’m in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight (Yeah)
I'm in the limelight now
