(Chorus)

Lights flash, world’s bright, but the dark’s right behind,

Glimmer in the night, but the shadows on my mind,

Fast life, high stakes, but it’s cold where we at,

The glimmer in the dark, but we still gotta fight back.

(Verse 1)

Rollin’ through the city, lights flashin’ like stars,

But I know the game’s dirty, ain’t no credit for scars,

In the streets where the glam, the glitz and the fame,

But behind all that shine, it’s a dangerous game.

They say the money talks, but the silence speaks louder,

I see the pain in their eyes, feel the weight, it’s a powder,

One spark in the night, it could all go up in flames,

Glamorous faces, but they all playin’ the same game.

Ain’t no love in the rush, just the chase for the crown,

World so bright, but it’s heavy, pullin’ you down,

You can shine all you want, but the dark won’t let go,

Glimmer in the dark, it’s a dangerous glow.

(Chorus)

Lights flash, world’s bright, but the dark’s right behind,

Glimmer in the night, but the shadows on my mind,

Fast life, high stakes, but it’s cold where we at,

The glimmer in the dark, but we still gotta fight back.

(Verse 2)

Hustle in the daytime, hustle in the night,

Chasin' dreams in the glow, but it’s far from the light,

I see the bright lights, but I know what they hide,

The darkness creepin’ close, can't escape what’s inside.

Diamonds on my wrist, but my heart’s still cold,

Lookin’ for peace, but the chaos takes hold,

The fame and the fortune, it’s all in the trap,

You can shine on the surface, but you can’t escape that.

In this world full of glitz, got to fight for your soul,

It’s a battle in the dark, it’s takin’ its toll,

Yeah, the glimmer’s real, but the shadows are strong,

It’s a war within, but you gotta keep movin’ on.

(Chorus)

Lights flash, world’s bright, but the dark’s right behind,

Glimmer in the night, but the shadows on my mind,

Fast life, high stakes, but it’s cold where we at,

The glimmer in the dark, but we still gotta fight back.
