Caught in the Lights
Flame Lyrics

Caught in the lights oh my
You are dazzled and bogged down by the spotlight

You're just so caught in between all your lies and your dreams
You are stuck in the middle of your sinful ways and your aspirations

You're so blind oh my
You cannot see the truth even when it is in front of you

You know I'm right but you hide on your stage to the right
You acknowledge that the artist is correct, yet you continue to deny and conceal it

You know that I'm calling you can only run away for so long
You are running away from the truth, but you cannot do so indefinitely

If you knew it then know it would just stay the road that you're on
If you acknowledged the truth, you would stay on the right path

I just want you back at home you know it's where you belong
The singer wants you to return to God’s love and grace, where you truly belong

Would you come home it's where you belong
The artist is urging you to come back to God’s love and grace

Just come home it's where you belong
The artist is asking you to return to where you belong (in God’s love and grace)

Don't be caught in the lights
Don’t be distracted or tempted by the worldly pleasures and material possessions

Little homie had hoop dreams man he loved sports
The person described is a young man with a passion for basketball

On the court he was short but he had a lotta heart
Despite being of small stature, he had a strong will and determination

Picking up a basketball made him feel like there was hope
Playing basketball gave him a sense of optimism and purpose

If he didn't play ball he probably be selling dope
The singer believes that if he didn't play basketball, he might have resulted to selling illegal drugs for financial gain

No father figure in a single parent home
The young man is from a single-parent household with an absentee father

There's so much going on made him feel like he was grown
The young man had to deal with a lot of responsibilities and challenges that made him feel like he was mature beyond his age

That he had to go hard in the gym like a champ
He believed he had to work hard at basketball like a champion to achieve his dreams

And all he thought about was him and his camp
He was focused on himself and his close circle of friends and family

He said fam we go'n make it that's all he had to say?
He had faith in himself and his family, and believed they would achieve success together

Cause at the end of the day I'm talking NBA
His ultimate goal and dream was to play in the National Basketball Association

Contracts it's a fact mom ain't gotta a lot of grip
Playing in the NBA would be a lucrative deal and would help his mother, who didn't have a lot of money

Know I gotta play hard to get the college scholarship
He knew that he needed to work hard so he could receive a scholarship to attend college

That's exactly what he did little homie's on the way
He worked hard, received a scholarship to attend college, and was on his way to achieving his dream

But little does he know that he is being led astray
The young man doesn't realize that he is being tempted and led away from God's love and grace

Cause fulfilling your dreams may get you outta the trap
Having your dreams come true can remove you from difficult situations, but may not fulfill your true purpose in life

But there is a sin problem that is way bigger than that
The young man needs to recognize and acknowledge that sin is a greater and more important issue to address

He say it self therapy and if he didn't rap he would snap
He uses music as a form of self-expression and therapy, and may have emotional difficulties without it

Plus his dream to make a hundred million flat is on his back
He has high financial aspirations and the pressure that comes with them

And on his shoulders homie's getting older
As he gets older, the pressure and stress on him continue to increase

Accepting the fact that he can't get the time back
He comes to terms with the fact that he cannot get back or undo the time that has passed

So he acts when he ain't in the studio
He tries to stay busy and productive even when he is not writing or recording music

Hoping that that would lead to a movie bro
He aspires to be featured in a Hollywood movie

Heard em say that he is sick of being broke
He is tired of being financially struggling or having limited resources

But he ain't going to college and he ain't selling coke
He decides not to attend college and avoids becoming involved in illegal activities like drug dealing

So he spend a lot of time with a pen and a pad
He spends a lot of time writing and reflecting with his pen and notebook

Trying to make ends meet cause he's finna be a dad
He needs to provide for his growing family since he is about to become a father

Wanna get a record deal sell a couple mill
He aims to sign a record contract and sell hundreds of thousands of records

House on the hill fall back and just chill
He hopes to live in a mansion on a hill and relax after achieving success

Now he looking for that one shot homie trying to blow
He is searching for an opportunity to achieve fame and fortune through his music

But little does he know that if that's the way it go
He doesn't realize that if he achieves his goal of success through his music, he may fall away from God's love and grace

That he could end up way worse than before
Becoming successful through music may lead him to greater sinful temptations and ultimately end up worse off than before

Cause you can gain the world and still lose your soul
Achieving success, fame, and fortune is not worth losing your spiritual well-being

The devil took him very high to the highest mountain peak
The devil led Jesus up to the highest mountain peak in an attempt to tempt and deter him from God's will

And he said if you would fall down and worship me
The devil proposed to Jesus that if he would worship him, he would receive all of the kingdoms of the world and their glory

All of the kingdoms of the world and the glory
The devil uses material possessions and wealth as temptations to sway Jesus from God's will

Would instantly be yours end of the story
The devil promised Jesus that he would receive all of the world's kingdoms and its glory without any effort or struggle

Jesus' mission was to rule all the nations
Jesus' ultimate mission was to lead and guide all nations to God's love and grace

This is exactly why it is a temptation
The devil tempted Jesus using his ultimate goal and purpose as a means to sway him from God's will

No more suffering no more pain
The devil promised Jesus an end to all suffering and pain if he would turn away from God's will and become materialistic

Start the Christian cosmos let your kingdom reign
The devil proposed a vision of Jesus ruling with worldly power, outside of God's will, and opposition to Jesus' true mission

No Nero no Adolf no slavery the cross you can stay off
The devil promised a world freed from oppressive persecutors, without Jesus having to experience the agonies of the cross or the sacrifices that this would entail

Bind the broken hearted heal the sick
Jesus' true mission was to attend to the needs of the broken, wounded and suffering

Establish truth and justice no crucifix
The devil proposed a vision of social morality and justice without the need for the crucifixion of Jesus

But Jesus resists and goes to the cross
Jesus rejected the devil's false promises and continued with the plan of the cross

And trusting God's promises He doesn't self exalt
Jesus has faith in God's promises, even though he does not seek self-promotion or glory

Would shed His own blood in the three He rose again
Jesus willingly shed his own blood through his crucifixion and resurrection, for the sake of humanity's salvation

He wins the God man never sinned
Through Jesus' death and resurrection, he was victorious over sin and achieved redemption for humanity

The light
Jesus is the light that shines through the darkness and provides guidance and salvation for all
