Lyrics

Do you really wanna know

Expressing curiosity or challenging the listener's desire for knowledge.

What it took to be all alone at the top of the food chain?

Reflecting on the challenges faced to reach the top of the hierarchy.

When I'm up there standing in front of cameras

Describing the experience of being in the spotlight, possibly in a competitive environment.

A thousand eyes staring at you hoping you fall

Acknowledging the scrutiny and expectations, with a hint of anticipation for failure.

I was made for this, I know the sound of glory calling and I couldn't resist

Confidently asserting a sense of purpose and destiny in the face of challenges.


From what I've learned of the years of ups and downs

Sharing wisdom gained from life's highs and lows.

The whole game can change just when you figure it out

Highlighting the unpredictable nature of success and how understanding it can be fleeting.

So let me give you, a little piece of advice

Offering advice to be authentic and trust that things will fall into place.

Just be yourself kid, the rest will fall into place

Encouraging individuality and implying that success follows from being true to oneself.


Like LaMotta, I'm only here to tell you, you better save yourself

Referencing Jake LaMotta, suggesting a warning or lesson about self-preservation.

Like LaMotta, I'm only here to tell you, you better save yourself

Reiterating the LaMotta reference, emphasizing the importance of saving oneself.


When did it start? Let me begin

Beginning a narrative, possibly autobiographical, and prompting the listener's attention.

Chapter 1 page 1, are you listening?

Starting the story with a reference to a specific chapter and page, inviting engagement.


I wanna bring you back to the streets

Expressing a desire to return to humble beginnings, the streets in this context.

Passing out my fucking demo for free

Recalling the struggle of promoting music by distributing demos for free.

Passing fliers when it's 20 degrees

Highlighting the dedication to promotion, even in challenging conditions.

To promote my show

Connecting the effort to promote with the ultimate goal of showcasing talent in a live setting.

That's some shit you knew, just will never fucking know

Expressing a sense of exclusivity or hardship that others may not understand.


Yeah that's some shit you knew, just will never fucking know

Reiterating the theme of exclusivity and the unique challenges faced in the journey.


From what I've learned of the years of ups and downs

Repeating the lesson learned from life's ups and downs.

The whole game can change just when you figure it out

Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of success and its ability to change rapidly.

So let me give you, a little piece of advice

Reiterating advice to be oneself, trusting that things will fall into place.

Just be yourself kid, the rest will fall into place

Encouraging authenticity as a key to navigating life's challenges.
