Spotlight

Drowned in city lights and lies
They said “dreams are for the guys”
Walkin’ home in worn-out shoes
Screamin' truths no one could use

No big stage, just neon streets
Fought alone with aching feet
Kept my fire under wraps
But I swore I'd break the trap

Fell down, got scars to prove
Looked in the mirror, had nothin’ to lose
Tears I shed lit up this fight
Now I’m burnin’ loud and bright

Now the noise becomes my sound
I won't bow, I won’t back down
Bassline pounds like a battle cry
This voice won’t ever die
Turn it up, make it mine
Gonna steal that spotlight shine

Tiny bars, but hearts were loud
Earned my place without a crowd
They laughed hard when I spoke bold
Now their laughs just make me cold

Freezin’ hands, flyers in rain
Still sang proud through all the pain
Every “no” just lit my fuse
Every silence shaped my truth

Screamed my dreams into the night
Found my power, took my right
Did it raw, no fake disguise
This is me, no compromise

Now the noise becomes my sound
I won't bow, I won’t back down
Bassline pounds like a battle cry
This voice won’t ever die
Turn it up, make it mine
Gonna steal that spotlight shine

No handouts, no gold key
Just my notebook and belief in me
Skipped the sleep, lived the grind
Shaped my soul with every line

I’m the storm they can’t drown out
No Plan B, I screamed it loud
Blood and chords in every breath
Now I fight like there’s nothing left

Now the noise becomes my sound
I won't bow, I won’t back down
Bassline pounds like a battle cry
This voice won’t ever die
Turn it up, make it mine
Gonna steal that spotlight shine

Spotlight’s hot, but I won’t burn
This is mine – now it’s my turn
No more fear, I stand so proud
This is me, I’ll sing it loud
Yeah—this stage is mine
And I’ll shine… I’ll shine
