I am a dancer And it's something that I live to do It's something that I'm livin' through It's something I can give to you I am a dancer and I think that you're a dancer too So make spectators answer to the frantically romantic you If you're propelled to feel the temperature, you have to move Your soul was bouncing up and down long before and long past the groove The act and attitude Don't require no dramatic mood Just gratitude For having two feet And beats to pat 'em to On a stage were I brought everything I had to prove and left it all We're on to different avenues Now, you can clap at me like "that'll do" But I ain't said shit This is just something that I had to do Maybe you'd make me an idol Bring a date to my recital Make a night of it You both could write a bad review I can't be mad at you 'Cause all I have for you is directions to a love deeper than any hole you'll chase a rabbit through Dance To fall into your arms is to know I have a purpose I'm not alone I'm not worthless I'm not out of place My doubt is A curse is You have a louder grace In worship, I'm assured to a certainty But a current of nervous speach encircles me movin' serpentine So I rehearse sturdily, thirstily 'Til it hurts and bleeds 'Til they've heard of me 'Til I need nurses 'Til lyin' in caskets in churches Observers Support the arts with hard cash And run their currency I'm currently the first to see They do themselves the courtesy My child unbirthed in me I can't condone just how alone you felt To come to know the only one you'll ever call your own won't help A passed life A sacrifice to a black strife A vast price fastens tragedy to me fast, tight Ash flies rapidly In agony, I grasp sight That they last Cries that, one day, you wouldn't ever have to ask twice I'd get the cash right And you'd be shinin' like a diamond in the last light On massive heights with the brightness of a flash white Just you and me, my precious angel baby, that's right And at night I view my past was a crash site I gave so much of my youth up A part of me has died But I love But sometimes not enough at the right time And I'm the judged by the ones with the stones casted I'm trippin' the light fantastic Somebody's looking over me And comforts my sadness In the last light On massive heights with the brightness of a flash white Just you and me, my precious angel baby, that's right And at night I view my past was a crash site I gave so much of my youth up A part of me has died But I love But sometimes not enough at the right time And I'm judged by the ones with the stones casted I trip the light fantastic Somebody's looking over me And comforts my sadness In the last light Soon as I see the final curtain call I think about a family I've forsaken who it hurts to call It's like there's this internal wall That's not inadvertent at all So hustling out of love takes me from servant to burden befallen I'm perfectly all-in I'm sterling, they're stallin' My kin's hurt and appalled when I learn of their problems They infer I'm not working to solve 'em 'Cause I got a gift I won't let go to waste And now I'm sending money instead of showing face But when I got the gig They told me straight up There were 6 spots And out of the world's dancing population, I got picked, Pops It's not time to quit to pick it up again I can't be young again I know we're hungerin' But I am gonna win Do you remember the room that I got discovered in? The studio lacked AC The scout's attention was coveted And it was stressful But he tapped me on the neck And I never thought that I'd be successful I just felt sorta special Now, in these seconds, stars fly Many book us tryna buy Cars fry, shit gets stolen Now we game bread markets Wreckin' far and wide Sends you cooking other guys 'Partheid, leaves you broken, sour Flame, lead sparking Check you sparring sly That gets you hooked up with the pie Scars hide egos swollen Cowards: lame, dead targets Set the bar high when you look up in the sky Stars die, but they're rollin' out the same red carpet
