Lil Pablo Richies - Went Showbiz For A Year Lyrics

Yeah
It's LPR, nigga, yeah
Uh uh, yeah
Hmmm
Yeah, I stepped into Showbiz, it was all for the fame
But they changed the game, left me feeling drained
From the spotlight to the shadows, it's a lonely road
Everybody love you 'til they see you ain't got gold
Started off with big dreams, but the industry's a maze
Lost sight of myself, chasing checks and praise
Now I'm looking in the mirror, asking who I became
Gave up my soul for a year, now it's time to reclaim
They said fame's a drug, yeah, I felt that high
Caught up in the limelight, watching days go by
But behind the scenes, it's a different story
Fake friends, fake smiles, all for the glory
Had to cut ties, had to find my way
Took a hiatus, had to press replay
Now I'm back on my grind, no more games to play
Focused on the real, ain't getting led astray
It's a journey, yeah, had to find my lane
Took a break from the madness, had to ease the pain
Now I'm back on the track, with a clearer view
Got my vision straight, ain't letting them confuse
Dead or alive, I'm chasing dreams, no fear
Gotta hustle hard, keep it real, sheddin' tears
From the gutter to the glam, yeah, I switched gears
Now I'm sippin' lean, reminiscin' 'bout them tough years
Money, guns, and wheels, that's the life we livin'
Stayin' low-key, 'cause these streets unforgivin'
Watch my circle tight, ain't no room for slippin'
From the hood to Hollywood, yeah, we steady flippin'
Ice cuban link on my mind, holdin' on to memories
Every dollar earned, came from pain and remedies
Fifty mil in jewelry, like it's meant for royalties
But remember where I'm from, 'cause the streets got loyalties
Homies switchin' sides, it's a cold world we in
Stayin' focused on my grind, ain't no time for pretend
Gotta rise above the hate, gotta chase that win
From the streets to Showbiz, that's where my story begins
Homies switchin', but we stay true, loyalty we pursue
Watchin' every move, knowin' who's who
In the game of life, we break through (yeah)
From streets to the spotlight, paid dues, we flew
Stepped into Showbiz, thought it'd be a steeze
But it ain't what it seems, lost in the scene
From the streets to the stage, chasing all the dreams
But the fame and the fortune ain't what it means nigga
Caught up in the whirlwind, lost my sense of myself
Everybody watching, judging every move I melt
Took a toll on my spirit, left scars on my health
Had to take a step back, reassess my wealth
Yeah, went through it all, but I'm standing tall
Went to Showbiz for a Year, now I heed the call
No more games, no more fear, I'm breaking through
Living for myself, ain't about to lose (yeah)
Ain't about to lose
