[Chorus]

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this bitch

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this piece of shit

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee


[Verse 1]

I'm upfront again with 300 men

I'll fight to defend, til I'm dying my death

It's the one called Devs with the fiery blend

I'm amped up, let me hit 'em with the fire again

There's too much, cruised up

Get down, when I come around town

Might better your luck, to get wherever the fuck you feel safe, I come

I've got this terrible lust to reinstate myself

I better be loved

You'd hate yourself if the enemy won

I'll be spinning emcees when I'm 71

I can't stop, won't stop, it's Devlin son

[?] in Las Vegas

Clamp who? Any what? Anyone

A diamond in the rough like me belongs at the front

Make way chumps!


[Chorus]

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this bitch

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this piece of shit

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee


[Verse 2]

Someone direct me directly right to the light

While I spit flows in a frenzy

Alchemy the boy's golden tell me

How I make all these elements shine

When I venture inside don't wait for the fight

The vision of a one man gentry

Who am I? Juelz Santana when he wrote "Who Am I?"

Mummy I love you don't cry

Mama I ain’t been right ever since I arrived

But now I'm back on my grind

My music feels real because there ain't no fibs no lies

Just trying to exist in a pit full of vipers

Shit I've been bit, it's alright, it's my time to bite

And fight for what I think's mine

Just might be the perfect night


[Chorus]

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this bitch

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee

Someone show me where the limelight is

It's been a while but I'm back inside this piece of shit

I don't think that I'll ever be Tinie big

But you know me, the people's emcee


[Verse 3]

It's the people's champ, the emcee’s emcee

I ain't got the most P’s in the bank

But I've got a lot of people that thank this man

For the fact that I helped them through when I

Came through when they needed batch

Of tunes I dispatched to which a lot of yous got attached

If you saw the sincerity when I sat with the pen and the pad

These bars and a reader's lamp

You see me, the energy that I need when I wanna be set free from the clamps

There's people ahead of me I'll run upon them readily and merrily and put 'em in the grime scene cemetery

No need to say thanks

I just do what I do when I do it

I'm too stubborn to fall in rank
