Magazine Dreams

One, two
One, two, three

Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way (Peace my way)
Magazines to bright lights

On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way

While others carry a burden, I dust off the shoulders
Allowing the present gift of the moment
To hold with no time for doubt

Stole my thunder before but my time is now
It's game on (Game on), curtain call for destiny
Ain't leaving 'til you bring out the best of me
Conscious to not get blinded by the lights
Seen it all before, ain't all a pretty sight
Everybody tryna shine brighter than the next man
Watch personalities morphing like the X-Men
It's when the real pressure's on that we thrive

Raised on hip-hop, people sing, could try
Center stage or front page, it's all the same
Maintain the presence, heartfelt all the way
'Cause when you love what you do and say how you feel
Somehow, some way, real recognize real

Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way (Peace my way)
Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way

Navigate the scene like a Porsche handles the street
Through the paparazzi like sharks to the feet
Disregard the hate, don't worry 'bout what people say
I believe in me
If it's alright, alright, I'll indulge a little (Just a little)
Select the one time for the royalty (One time)
I gotta get mine 'cause they don't look twice
I gots to have it
And the women are fine so I gotta look nice
But that's all that matters (That's all that matters)

Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way (Peace my way)
Magazines to bright lights

On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way

Us, yeah, we take it as it comes
Set to reach the top like the rising sun
But like so, what goes up must come down
Divide life from dreams to stay grounded now
I wasn't always on the bright side
Bright from streetlights despite the street life
I changed, we on a better road to better things
Who knows what better brings
My heart and soul together sing, let's go

Real recognize real
Hustle on the sale, corner tight retail
Street kinda smart where the brothers stay sharp on the detail
Real recognize real
Hustle on the sale, corner tight retail
Street kinda smart where the brothers stay sharp on the detail

Yeah, uh, I indulge in the moment, yo, my time is now
I step back for a minute to realize how, uh
Regular kid from a regular hood
Can go from regular things to doing better than good
I'm talking lights, camera, action
Glitz, glamour, reaction
Red carpet treatment, five-star satisfaction
You can't imagine the things that I've seen
The places I've been, a witness to a magazine dream

Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife
Yeah, peace my way
Magazines to bright lights
It's game on, showtime

It's game on, showtime
On the stage to nightlife

Yeah, peace my way

Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
