[Intro: Coby James]

The limelight

Oh

Ooo


[Verse 1: Coby James]

I took a drug out on the East Coast

They call it glory and it’s straight to the brain

Got my head up in the clout

Now I'm chasing a bitter taste, yeah

I've been trying to find a cheat code

A way to sell out and go straight to the bank

But then I get to questioning the second I see Your face


[Pre-Chorus: Coby James]

Is this Your wish, or just the Adam in me?

Is this Your gift or just the apple I see?

Hold it to my lips, wanna sink my teeth

But I know, I know, I know

[Chorus: Ben Becker, Coby James]

I've been pushing and shoving to get the limelight

I've been rushing and running it off Your timeline

I don't know where I'm going now

But I know I should slow it down

Going dimmer and darker to get the limelight

Feel it getting harder to turn a blind eyе

Trading treasures for broken crowns

But I know, I know, I know


[Verse 2: Ben Becker]

I know You got usе for me, truthfully

I just lose myself inside of my mind

I spin a fairytale of what could be mine

Plagiarizing Your writing, mmm

And I know You got plenty of enemies in Your image

Oh, and I'm terrified

That I'm becoming one 'cause I keep fighting Your timing

Trying to run with the darkness as I beg you to light it


[Pre-Chorus: Ben Becker]

So is this Your wish, or just the Adam in me?

Is this Your gift or just the apple I see?

Hold it to my lips, wanna sink my teeth

But I know, I know, I know

[Chorus: Coby James, Ben Becker]

I've been pushing and shoving to get the limelight

I've been rushing and running it off Your timeline

I don't know where I'm going now

But I know I should slow it down

Going dimmer and darker to get the limelight

Feel it getting harder to turn a blind eye

Trading treasure for broken crowns

But I know, I know, I know

[Outro: Coby James, Ben Becker]

I know You got use for me, truthfully, I just lose myself and

I know You've got plenty of enemies, I don't wanna be one

Oh, I don't wanna be one

Oh, I don't wanna be one, oh yeah

I know You got use for me, truthfully, I just lose myself and

I know You've got plenty of enemies, I don't wanna be one

Oh, I don't wanna be one (I don't wanna be one)

I don't wanna be one, oh yeah
