Bright Campa concludes the year 2021 with high hopes for the next, presenting gratitude and humility throughout this wholesome track about his childhood leading up to his adulthood.
Every step I take. Each breath I took, the Lord is teaching me to have patience for greatness, so I ask everyone to give me time to develop as much as Jesus is preparing us for something better. No matter how long it takes, it will be better than you can imagine. I had to realize we are here for a reason – created in God’s image, we have a lot to live for.
Everyone is looking for the next best thing – instead, they rather witness someone else’s accomplishments. Create your hierarchy – you made it this far after using inspiration as an excuse. Congratulations, you become a master from being a student.
I want to thank everyone for listening, especially all credits that go towards The Founding Campers, my loving family, more importantly, God himself for answering my prayers. Until next time, my fellow Campers, stay up and never lose hope. I will see you all in the next life – find me there.
lyrics
[Intro]
Aye, hey, turn my headphones up a little bit
Uh, kick back, even during the winter nights
Ooh, leave me alone (ooh)
Ooh, leave me alone (ooh)
[Verse 1]
Okay, yeah, I've never been a failure
Always have my mind to the bigger prize
But I get caught in the recoil of the shot the devil taking in
The devil trying to get into my mind yeah
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
He's trying to get into my soul
This is a poetry for everyone soul
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
Stay up and you better grab some more
Man we're losing time, what a time to be alive
I know it's rhetorical, I know, yeah
I feel so, so righteous
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
So righteous like the mightiest
I am the only competition
You got to understand
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
You got to get it how you live it
If you really want it, then you really gotta work for it
[Verse 2: Bright Campa & Kenneth English]
No kidding, I ain't trying to be your dad
I ain't your bother, I ain't your boyfriend
I ain't your husband, I ain't your baby daddy
Ooh, don't be mad at me (Kenneth English)
I have been keeping it real
Since nine years old, that's when I lost it all
Yeah, that's when I lost it all
I never thought I got work in thirteen (aye)
Back in High School, failing all the grades (huh)
I wasn't like all that, I used to get bullied for a snack
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
Nowadays, I'm not afraid, take a shot, you miss
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
Hey, why are you mad at me? Yeah
Hey, why are you mad at me? Yeah
I would die for you, I come back for you (I would)
Yeah, I love my family to death
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
Yeah, I know they can never understand
(Ooh leave me alone ooh)
[Part II]
[Refrain]
Oh, you were a good girl (ooh) I had to lose my pride
Oh, I realize you talk more than me (AI)
I just want you to be honest about what you want (AI)
I don't want to say goodbye, yeah
Running through these streets, I don't want to die
Please don't have money
I just want to take another relapse (AI)
Love you, I love you
[Outro]
Yo man, yes we came a long way
I ain't—ain't gonna (he-he)
Ah, nothing but greatness
