clever life - KMurdock Music Group
Late nights, sitting quiet, hearing sirens in the street
Dreams of something better, but they barely let me sleep
Folks say I should gamble, make a name, pay for keeps
But I'd rather lose the crowd than watch my soul get cheap
They think I need the lights just to make my life right
But they don't see the fight behind these songs I write
Blind ain't my burden, it's the world that's out of sight
They want to sell my truth, but I can't pay that price
I'm drowning in the quiet when the lights go low
Dodging all the faces that expect a show
They tell me chase the fame, but it's not what I know
I just want to build a life where my people can grow
I do not like being in the spotlight
It's hard to deal with people even on my best night
And under stress, I'm breathing like my chest tight
Overthink my answers, yes, like a test, right
Retreat inside my mind, trying to keep my head right
Pushing through the panic, the unease, the feeling fight or flight, though
Don't want none of my folks to struggle no more
Cashing checks to pay bills they can't even afford
It's a damn shame people have to chase fame
Just to get a better way of life
To be known, but I'm on my own
And I'm looking for a clever way of life
They see my grind, but not the weight I'm dragging through
Acting like they answers on a stage I never knew
I'm building something solid while they dream in pay-per-views
But fame don't heal the wounds, it just leaves you confused
My fam deserves more than this hand-me-down pain
Not a million fake smiles just to dance in the rain
They want the show, I'm just trying to stay plain
Cause every time I play their game, I forget my own name
I'm drowning in the quiet when the lights go low
Dodging all the faces that expect a show
They tell me chase the fame, but it's not what I know
I just want to build a life where my people can grow
I do not like being in the spotlight
It's hard to deal with people even on my best night
And under stress, I'm breathing like my chest tight
Overthink my answers, yes, like a test, right
Retreat inside my mind, trying to keep my head right
Pushing through the panic, the unease, the feeling fight or flight, though
Don't want none of my folks to struggle no more
Cashing checks to pay bills they can't even afford
It's a damn shame people have to chase fame
Just to get a better way of life
To be known, but I'm on my own
And I'm looking for a clever way of life
I trade my every moment for the life they deserve
Not a highlight reel where my sanity gets curved
Stacking days like dollars, yeah, I'm bending what I learned
Rewriting next stories they promised couldn't turn
Let the stars keep their glow, I'll take the steady pay
Cause what's the crown worth if your family fades away
I'm not ducking from the work, just won't perform their play
Gotta pen my own story, they can have their stage, yeah
I do not like being in the spotlight
It's hard to deal with people even on my best night
And under stress, I'm breathing like my chest tight
Overthink my answers, yes, like a test, right
Retreat inside my mind, trying to keep my head right
Pushing through the panic, the unease, the feeling fight or flight, though
Don't want none of my folks to struggle no more
Cashing checks to pay bills they can't even afford
It's a damn shame people have to chase fame
Just to get a better way of life
To be known, but I'm on my own
And I'm looking for a clever way of life
