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
