Blige Copy song choice here: We on? A'ight One, two, three, go! Waking up in a dream Sleepwalking on another big stage You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream Your name in unison, I'm so far away From the place I used to be, struggling usually Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me I can feel the energy in the air It feels like I'm supposed to be here Everywhere I go, I'm getting so much love Fans, the stars, everyone Sayin' how they can't wait for the LP And I'm gonna blow, they believe in me Feel so good in what you do Helps somebody else get through That's why I do the best I can Because I know how blessed I am Personal Song: TPCASTT Analysis and Reflection I'm so high, I can touch the sky I know it's my time, and it's now or never Shine so bright, I light the night And it feels so right, ain't nothing better A fool if I take it all for granted A smart man if I keep my feet planted To the earth, 'cause the people that hurt can understand it You speakin' outlandish, I'ma show you how to make it all work Another planet, it's a short-term goal for me A record sold for me, it's just more of me in your ear For you to hear Kendrick persevere, defenses I feel relentless Ambition with a clear vision Takin' off, I ain't takin' off these Pistons I'm takin' off on the inner me, you're distance Came across me, how much it'll cost me To get you out my business I said a planet is a short-term goal, no sky is the limit I'm past that, now pass that award Not one but four times two plus yours I see myself performing there (K.dot) Sold out shows where the room is packed Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards See myself on big billboards Traveling around the world with endorsement deals Personal Song: TPCASTT Analysis and Reflection Can't imagine how it feels That's why I'm smiling every day Because my dream ain't far away I'm so high, I can touch the sky I know it's my time, and it's now or never Shine so bright, I light the night And it feels so right, ain't nothing better You looking at me, and you tell me I'm blessed Calculated my steps, my heart, my breath Breathe in lungs of a victory and vividly You see me when at my best, my worst This verse dedicated to the days that I slept With a curse research my paid dues, I'm reimbursed I burst in the crowd with a voice and a crown I'm a King on the prowl and I see mama smile And I vow on the tape that I'll never break You can break bread with me now We can all take a bow on the edge of the pedestal Then scream out loud that we made it off the avenue And walked that mile In the darkness, I often sit back and get lost in the rap that I wrote When you told me that it spoke to your soul I was talking to you, I was walking it through every ghetto Tell success "Hello" Personal Song: TPCASTT Analysis and Reflection We here And I'm so happy I cry 'cause I can't believe All the things I ever wanted are finally happening for me And it's so surreal that I almost feel That any minute I can wake up from this fantasy When you pray so hard, and you've come so far And you know that it's the time for you to lift your bar And I'm gonna do it, watch me I'm so high, I can touch the sky I know it's my time, and it's now or never Shine so bright, I light the night And it feels so right, ain't nothing better I'm so high, I can touch the sky I know it's my time, and it's now or never Shine so bright, I light the night And it feels so right, ain't nothing better Personal Song: TPCASTT Analysis and Reflection T-Title P-Paraphrase *Only Paraphrase the Chorus 1 time.
