Lighter
Eminen ft. Bruno Mars Lyrics

This one's for you and me, living out our dreams
This song is dedicated to everyone living their dreams.

We're all right where we should be
We are exactly where we are meant to be.

With my arms out wide I open my eyes
I am embracing everything that life has to offer.

And now all I wanna see
The only thing I want to see is something magical and beautiful.

Is a sky full of lighters
I want to see an incredible display of lighters illuminating the night sky.

By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
By the time you hear this, I will have achieved great success.

I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
I would never let anyone stop me from achieving my goals and dreams.

If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening,
If you cross me, you better watch out because I will strike like lightning.

Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point 'em' skyward uh
We must continue to fight for our dreams and hold our lighters up to the sky in unity.

Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king
I had a dream that I was on top, and that dream became a reality.

This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking,
I am the dominant force in this rap industry and I will exploit it to the fullest.

Till nobody else even fucking feels me, till' it kills me
I will continue to produce music until I am no longer relevant or until I die.

I swear to god I'll be the fucking illest in this music
I am determined to become the greatest musician of all time.

There is or there ever will be, disagree?
Do you think someone will surpass me in music?

Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up
I will never give up or let anyone bring me down.

Only thing I ever gave up's using no more excuses
I refuse to make any more excuses for myself or my music.

Excuse me if my head is too big for this building
I am aware that I have a big ego and am unapologetic about it.

And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick but you cocks are slick
I know that I come across as arrogant, but I am just confident in my abilities.

Poppin' shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-o-shit
Don't act like you have turned your life around when you really haven't.

Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite
You have actually done the opposite of what you claimed to have done.

You stayed the same, 'cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks
You have not changed, and in fact, you are still being a dick.

I love it when I tell 'em shove it
I enjoy the satisfaction of telling people to shove it when they doubt me.

Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, lustered
There was a time when I lacked confidence and motivation.

'Cause he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing
I had trouble succeeding because I lacked the necessary skills and discipline.

Brain fuzzy, 'cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz
I had a fuzzy brain due to my excessive drug use, but I woke up from that.

Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it
People now wonder how I produce amazing music and continue to succeed.

Wasn't 'cause he had buzzards circle around his head
My success was not because I had people waiting for me to fail.

Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
People were not waiting for me to die or fail.

Or was it, 'cause them bitches wrote him off
People wrote me off, but still, I persevered.

Little hussy ass buzzards, fuck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it
The people who doubted me and talked behind my back don't matter anymore.

What difference it make?
What difference does it make now?

What it take to get it through your thick skulls
What do I have to do to make my point clear?

As if this ain't some bullshit
As if this isn't a load of crap?

People don't usually come back this way
It's rare for someone to make it back from the dark times.

From a place that was dark as I was in
I was in a very dark place.

Just to get to this place
I had to fight to get where I am now.

Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage
Let these lyrics hurt the people who doubted me.

And let it be known from this day forward
From now on, everyone should know that I am here to stay.

I wanna just say thanks 'cause your hate is what gave me the strength
I am grateful for the hate and criticism I received because it made me stronger.

So let 'em bic's raise 'cause I came with five nine
Raise your lighters in support because I am here to stay.

But I feel like I'm six eight
I feel taller because of my success and confidence.

By the time you hear this I'll probably already be outtie
I am constantly moving forward and achieving new goals.

I advance like going from toting iron
I am advancing in a way that is similar to carrying a gun.

To going and buying four or five of the homies the iron man Audi
I have advanced so much that I can now buy luxury cars for my friends.

My daddy told me slow down, boy, you goin' to blow it
My father advised me to slow down because I was on the path to destruction.

And I ain't gotta stop the beat a minute
But I will not slow down or let anything stop me.

To tell Shady I love him the same way that he did Dr.Dre on the Chronic
I love Eminem (Shady) the same way he loved Dr. Dre on the album 'The Chronic.'

Tell him how real he is or how high I am
I want to express my appreciation for Eminem's authenticity and share my admiration for him.

Or how I would kill for him for him to know it
I would do anything for Eminem to know how much he means to me.

I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back
I have had to deal with emotional pain while also taking care of my father.

So it's only right that I right
It's fitting that I express myself through my music.

Till he can march right
I will continue to make music until my father can walk again.

Into that post office and tell 'em to hang it up
I want my father to be able to stand up and walk around again like he used to.

Now his career's Lebron's jersey in twenty years
In twenty years, my father's career will be as iconic as LeBron James's jersey.

I'll stop when I'm at the very top
I will not stop until I have achieved all of my goals and reached the pinnacle of success.

You shitted on me on your way up
People tried to tear me down on my way to success.

It's 'bout to be a scary drop
But their efforts will lead to their own downfall.

Cause what goes up must come down
Everything that goes up eventually falls back down.

You going down on something you don't wanna see like a hairy box
You will suffer and fall on something that you don't want to face, like an uncomfortable situation.

Every hour, happy hour now
Every hour of my life feels like a happy hour now that I have achieved success.

Life is wacky now
Life feels unpredictable and strange now that I have made it to the top.

Used to have to eat the cat to get the pussy
I used to have to put in a lot of effort to date women, but now they come to me easily.

Now I'm just the cats meow, ow
I am now incredibly popular and successful in my field.

Classic cow, always down for the catch weight like Pacquiao
I am a reliable and dependable musician who is always ready to put in the hard work.

Y'all are doomed
Those who doubted me or tried to tear me down are doomed to fail.

I remember when T-Pain ain't wanna work with me
I have been rejected in the past but still made it to the top.

My car starts itself, parks itself and auto-tunes
I have achieved so much success that my car can start itself and park itself, and I can use autotune in my music.

'Cause now I'm in the Aston
Now I am so successful that I can afford an Aston Martin.

I went from having my city locked up
I went from being unknown to being the king of my city.

To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick
I am now being treated like a famous and successful person.

And now I'm fantastic
I feel great and successful.

Compared to a weed high
My success feels like a powerful high.

And y'all niggas just gossipin' like bitches on a radio and TV
People are jealous and gossip about me, but I don't care.

See me, we fly
I am successful and soaring high, and those who doubted me can see it now.

Y'all buggin' out like Wendy Williams staring at a bee-hive
People are confused and flustered by my success, just like how Wendy Williams freaked out when a bee got near her.

And how real is that
This is how real and incredible my success is.
