Gave it a HIP HOP TWIST! I JUST found out about this earlier today! It was rushed and I only had a few hours, but I figured I'll try because you miss 100% of the shots you DON'T take. Produced by one of my best friends, Christian DeVon. Thanks for your time.

Lyrics (part of which originally written by Karmin):

AGENIUS, there isn't another
Spit flames through September, just to extend the summer
Write heaven sent lyrics to keep me from goin under
Smash ya on ya own track, like a Karmin cover
Cali swag on it, let that boy cook, aight?
Work my butt off like if Kim K wanted to look white
Got all my competition shook right?
Still I gets no limelight, they cut em off like good night
So this is what dreams are made of
Cold nights Ramen dinners n major pay cuts
And currency will do for you what dreams never will
This takes much just so I don't Make much
... Not that I do it for the money n fame
But without major claims no one will ever mention ya name
Forever be a benchwarmer when it comes to the game
Ya lyrics glisten but they won't listen till they hear bout ya chain
It's sad when talent's measured by ya Twitter followers
Hold on, I gotta take this, success is callin' us

Stupid simple mind games, pushing 'til I'm insane
Working through the day and night
Strutting with my headphones, no one knows what I know
Got no time to be polite
And the world says, "baby don't worry, baby don't worry at all"
Roller coaster seat belt, motion sickness soft shell
Maybe I'm just not cut out

But I can feel it, no one can steal it
They're gonna call my name
Not gonna stop now, not gonna step down
'Cause I can hear 'em say

Take it away, take it away, take it away, take it away (x2)

So this is what dreams are made of?
Grindin' just to go from having lovers to haters
Cutting off all ya friends like ya gave em tapers
Cuz suddenly there's friendship fees and ya owe em favors
My God, good Lawd, of course
I wanna buy my bro a business put my momma in a house
My dad early retirement my wife in designer clothes
But how do I cover the cost without losing my soul?
Major deals, and all their proposals
More ears, studios, concerts & promotions
Shin splints from carrying the world on my shoulders
Dermatitis from the spotlight's deadly glow cuhz
Who am I kidding? It's hard when u know
You have a hit in ya hands but ya still living broke
Sometimes I'm glad it's just me and my iPad
Working day n night just to be rap's next big fad

Leading with my right hand, can't afford the name brand
Gotta give it all I got
Had a taste of lime light, sweet and sour just right
Now I can't escape the thought
And the world says, "baby don't worry, baby don't worry at all"
Praying running up hill, stage is my cathedral
Baby I can see the light

CHORUS

Bright flashes, full glasses
Now get up sing your song for the masses
Close both eyes, feel the sunrise
You thank God for the journey when you realize
Long nights mean nothing at all
Bright lights you can hear 'em call
Got my poster up on your wall?
We're in a storm now keep yourself calm

Stop -- hit it -- break -- kill it
Anybody know the odds when I deal it?
Anybody get up the guts to play?
'Cause you only live once better live for the day (x2)
