Blinded By the Light
Futuristic & Collins Lyrics

Blinded by the lights
Overwhelmed and distracted by the allure and glamour of success and fame

Waiting for a sign
Hopeful and anticipating a clear indication or direction in life

You thought I was fine
Assumed that I was okay and had everything under control

I'm losing my mind
Suffering from mental anguish and instability

Yo, I ain't blinded, I'm finally seeing correctly
I am now realizing the truth and seeing things clearly

I had class until niggas started to test me
I had respect and dignity until people started challenging and disrespecting me

I surpassed what everybody I knew was doing
I exceeded the expectations and achievements of everyone around me

They hope to do it, so I help em' do it and then they left me
I supported and assisted them in pursuing their goals, but they abandoned me afterward

Ain't that a bitch, literally that's a bitch
Isn't it ironic and frustrating, figuratively referring to a difficult and unpleasant situation

Niggas seen the light and then they felt like they just had to switch
People experienced success and changed their behavior and loyalties as a result

I ain't ask for shit, they looking for an ass to kiss
I didn't request anything, but they are now seeking my approval and favors

I'm drunk as fuck with a girl I used to fuck, I'd probably grab her tits
I am heavily intoxicated with a girl I had previous sexual encounters with, and I might act inappropriately

I'm smashing in a whip, navigation, the music blasting
I am driving recklessly, with GPS guidance and loud music playing

Getting head with my girl on the phone, how could I let this happen
Receiving oral sex while talking to my girlfriend on the phone, expressing regret for engaging in such behavior

Fuck it, I'm extra spazzing, hit the bathroom for a second
I don't care anymore, I'm acting out in an exaggerated manner and need a moment in the bathroom to collect myself

Threw up on my jacket and pissed in the liquor section
I vomited on my jacket and urinated in the area of the store where alcoholic beverages are sold

And I don't even regret it, that's the worst part
I feel no remorse for my actions, highlighting the troubling aspect of my behavior

Don't have a purpose, I'm doing whatever sounds fun
I lack a sense of direction and engage in activities solely based on immediate gratification

The music is something I really used to love
I had a deep passion for music in the past

But what do you do when your sounds done, I'm found numb
When your musical career comes to an end, it leaves you emotionally desensitized

I bought a gun with intentions to blow my brains out
I purchased a firearm with the intention of committing suicide

Took my money out the bank and put it all in envelopes
I withdrew my money from the bank and divided it into envelopes

Gave my mama four, gave my brother five, gave my cousin two
I distributed some of the money to my mother, brother, and cousin

Gave my DJ three, I'm trying to get this pain out
I gave my DJ some money, hoping that it would alleviate my emotional distress

I wondered who would come and get the stains out
I pondered about who would come and clean up the mess and damage caused by my actions

Or who would hear it, eventually take the same route
I questioned who would listen to my struggles and ultimately find themselves in a similar situation

I typed a post on my page for all of my fans
I composed a message on my social media page for my followers and supporters

I bet if I actually did I'd have the fame now
I believe that if I had actually carried out certain actions, I would be famous by now

And niggas still begging me to put em' on, begging me to play they songs
People are still pleading with me to give them exposure and promote their music

Can't you tell I ain't this shit myself
Can't you see that I am struggling with my own career and personal issues

You don't even like my tracks, you ain't bought one hit
You don't even enjoy my music, you haven't purchased a single successful song

But you mad cause you asked, but won't get my help
You are angry because you requested my assistance, but I am unwilling to provide it

Stop it, I got my own situations that I've been facing
Stop complaining, I have my own problems and challenges to deal with

These dreams that I'm always chasing, but they rarely ever come true
I constantly pursue my dreams, but they seldom become a reality

This family that I left, that woman I used to love
I abandoned my family and the woman I used to be in love with

So the least of my concerns is you
Therefore, you are the least important thing for me to worry about
