“LIGHTS DON’T LIE”

Used to sit quiet in the back of the class,
Heart full of fire but I never would brag,
They see the smile but they don’t see the past,
All of them nights I was chasing a chance.
Cold rooms, big dreams,
Phone on silent, plotting big things,
Everybody laughed when I said I’d sing,
Now they screenshot when my phone ring.
Pressure make diamonds, I learned that early,
Pain wrote verses when life got dirty,
I ain’t perfect but I stayed worthy,
God knew my name when the crowd weren’t with me.
🎶 Hook
I came from the nights they said I wouldn’t shine,
Now the whole world watch when I step in the light,
Tears in my mama eyes, yeah we finally alright,
They told me dreams fade… but lights don’t lie.
No, lights don’t lie.
No, lights don’t lie.
🎤 Verse 2 (Stronger, confident flow)
Now I walk in stages they once closed doors to,
Every scar on me turned into a breakthrough,
I don’t flex gold — I flex what I grew through,
Built my own wave, now the tide move when I move.
From zero applause to arenas loud,
From self-doubt whispers to screaming crowds,
I kept my faith when it wasn’t allowed,
Now I thank God every time I bow.
This for the kid who feel invisible,
Your pain today ain’t permanent, it’s pivotal,
The crown don’t come easy or digital,
You gotta bleed belief till it’s physical.
🎶 Bridge (Soft, choir vibe)
If you feel like giving up tonight,
Just remember why you started,
Every star was once a spark in the dark…
Don’t you hide it.
🎶 Final Hook (Big drums, choir, goosebumps)
I came from the nights they said I wouldn’t shine,
Now the whole world watch when I step in the light,
Tears in my mama eyes, yeah we finally alright,
They told me dreams fade… but lights don’t lie.
No, lights don’t lie.
No, lights don’t lie.
