malcom mufunde & yaaduniverse - limelight lyrics

verse 1:
for twelve years, i hid my light under a bushel
used to have rap sessions on my bed with a cushion
took a leaf out of my dad’s book and wrote my own ticket
played truant, hated school and couldn’t wait for the weekend
i stuffed my face and studied the greats
repeat cycle; til i hit my stride with each verse
i got a feel of it, then made a meal of it
and hoped against hope i’d make a mil off it
it’s too bad that none of them could see the forest for the trees
learnt morе from these rhymes than from collеge degrees
the economy kept telling me the cake is a lie
that i’mma chase and never catch till the day that i die
but i said the dogs bark but the caravan goes on
saw hip+hop die but i chose to hold on
‘cause the greats showed me belief’s the name of the game
so i won’t stop until i make a name in this game

hook:
and hit the limelight
and hit the limelight
and hit the limelight, baby
hit the limelight, baby
and hit the limelight
and hit the limelight
and hit the limelight, baby
hit the limelight, baby
verse 2:
uh
nothing is impossible; the sky is the limit
rap taught me to be fly and defy all the physics
i made two or three classics in the sp+ce of a minute
but i only knew the rhymes; i wasn’t good with the business
it turns out that i’m a failure but the most prolific
and seeing jungle get his flowers made me optimistic
since the bible says i’m the spitting image of god
they‘ll recite all my verses like biblical quotes
looking back, who ever knew i’d win out in the end?
have the best emcees call me the best in the land
used to eat my heart out after every rejection
but i thank chitown for believing the message
finally found my feet and i stepped on the scene
the greatest thing to zim hip+hop since vitamin pinn
now here we are; a couple classics under my belt
they used to give me cold shoulders, now their scapulas melt

hook:
i hit the limelight
i hit the limelight
hit the limelight, baby
hit the limelight, baby
i hit the limelight
i hit the limelight
hit the limelight, baby
hit the limelight, baby
verse 3:
my life a movie directed by stanley kubrick, i’m never missing a wide shot
even with my eyes wide shut
i’m still going for the gold with every drop in my barrel
fate promised me a light at the end of the tunnel
‘cause i was ridden hard and put away wet
but i had date with destiny, lost none of my faith
i made a classic, but i didn’t rest on my laurels
k!lled beats even though it went against all their morals
still blowing them away every time i rock the house
as long as i’m alive, rap is gonna have a pulse
got a mountain to climb, they say it’s outta my depth
but i’m the only reason rap’s still got a breath
for all the world, i’d never trade this for anything
i’m giving full measure every time that i get a beat
though i may never sink my t++th into the mainstream
twelve years ago, all of this was a daydream
it’s the limelight
