[Intro]
I'm just tryna groove like the vinyl
Change my view to Kaleidoscope
No tunnel vision
But this is the only life I know
Im just a circus clown in this live show
And if lying (lion) through the fire I go
She's a melody of a mellow day
But through I give she just takes, & I'm
tired of the changes...
And I'm running out of patience....

[Verse 1]
Play my tape for my classmates
But they ain't tryna hear a lyric since I ain't Drake
When ppl act like you gotta be famous before they press play
Or top the iTunes charts before they click n pay
That's what I hate
But what can I say?
Even when they peep my music, they just pretend...
To listen close, say "yeah it's dope" n never listen again
Man...
Sometimes I'm glad it's just me and this iPad
Instead of working so hard to be the next fad
And you...
Can't even say I have you these days
Cuz you be actin all brand new these days
Staying "single" can't even stand a play through these days
All I studied yet somehow I never knew you these days
Man, Who are you these days
Rather have mumbles than a real convo?
Rather hear magazines clap than cover real issues?
Went from your star to you shooting my heart with a Big Bang
Left a black hole in my chest; I'll consume everything

[Chorus 1]
But still I...will jump through the fire
Let this flame be a sign of desire
Hey
I will jump through the fire
If that's the only way that I can ignite us
Hey...
Ho...

[Bridge]
Every day
My community
Cirque de soileil
Currently
Flipping out on stage
With No progress made
You ain't afraid
To cross the line, Even if it's a tightrope?
Would you still walk this path if they shatter the lightposts?
Move aside
Unless you're do-or-die
You're a target
While you scrutinize
Each other none of us are moving farther
So worried bout your bars u forgot to be an artist
Trying so hard to be heard we forgot to be performers
(Wowwww!)

[Verse 2]
Barnum & Bailey came to my city
I shared the stage as I struggled to juggle many
Things while fake friends start throwing daggers against me
Went out on a limb but there's no trapeze to get me
Jumped through all these hoops, I just get burned all it gets me
Saw my fellow acts they hit the stage with me looking iffy
All these clowns and still sold no tickets, what a pity
All these clowns and still sold no tickets, what a pity
And you...for your attention what I gotta do? Huh?
What kind of sound do I have to pursue? Huh?
Seems like these carbon copies are enough for you
Huh?
Either that or hypeman in panda suits
Or
If I pretend that I get high up in the booth
Or
Maybe it's just to stay alive, it hurts to choose
This...
Can't tell if it's her heart or my heart's broke
Something tells me it's both
Yo I don't know
But...

[Chorus 2]
But still I...
I will jump through the fire
Let this flame be a sign of desire
Hey
I will jump through the fire
If that's the only way that I can ignite us
I will jump through the fire
Maybe then can I make your eyes light up?
I will jump through the fire
Then you'll see if I shine a little brighter
Hey...
Ho...
