The Show ft. C.G. The Producer & DJ Philly C Lyrics

Before we get things started set up the lighting

Something so simple matters the most keep it exciting

Before the yelling and fighting the thunder before the lightning

It makes the difference between happiness and what's frightening

Checkout the scenery then match it with the energy

Let the scene burrow itself inside your memory

Its entropy angles are setup to work cleverly

And expertly the lack of foreshadowing jeopardy

Therapy lets tread back a couple of centuries

An effigy to cast a shadow so that the people see

What do the people see as far as a newborn

Can't tell if their parents are saints or here to do wrong

They say the eyes don't open till birth singing that same song

Ignorance your first best friend and it's your lifelong

Struggle with right wrongs only prolongs singing sad songs

Buried underneath strange darkness keep your headstrong

First we need the lights

And then we need the cameras

But first we need the lights

And then we need the cameras

Now we setting up cameras mainstage

And we tracking every broken script through each age

Each imminent rage emotional cage flip the page

Co-parent that stays everyone who added to your ways child

Your not alone in fact might be a clone

Stones thrown don't amount to the sticks that break bones

Can't go outside without expensive cologne

Bought with the credit that the banks says it loaned

Add to the tab a new phone

Keep those close but not electric at home

Your car starts but all the lights they stay on

Mind your business i'm grown

Is what you tell yourself while drinking alone

Don't have a target for the blame that gets thrown

But just you wait till im on

You dream big but live a fraction

Your own distraction retraction chain reaction

A rolling stone that cant get no satisfaction

With no director whose saying action

First we need the lights

And then we need the cameras

But first we need the lights

And then we need the cameras

So now its go time make sure your ready for action

Tryna control the adrenaline use a fraction

You out here without a cause expect reaction

But not from yourself wasting our time and its taxing

Ugh a clenched fist versus ugh a limp wrist

Whats the difference is which hand triggered you what a twist

Its ambiguous nothing is truly ever black or white

Even skin tone we're not black or white

pick n choose from beige to lightskinded brownskinded

The only thing that matters is who did it

Catch with it sounds better than you being caught with it

Court acquitted gotta fend for yourself your walking with it

Its embedded had to come from someones actions

The only move that i gotta cut is me relaxing

I have no choice its go time no acting

So when i say im taking it just know I'm not asking
