Calvary Dominique - Prime Time Lyrics

(So I looked around at this project and saw so many sad songs
And I was like, you know what? It's time to make a semi-happy song I mean
Not a full one; that'd be crazy!
Just a semi one. Something for the kids...)

I would try to be cool, but you're probably cooler than me (facts!)
I would follow your rules, but I'd rather be free (preach!)
I would try to fit in, but you'd see right through me (damn!)
I don't even know how this song should go
I can't even count half my woes
I just know that I love God, and that's honestly fine by me (yeah)
I know I need to work on my flow
Do I know the answer? Probably no!
I just know that I keep it real, and that honestly fine by me
I just know that I keep it real, and that's honestly fine by me

I thought it was my time to shine, right?
Thought I was cool, they said, "Not quite"
Cause I choked once I hit the limelight
Guess I'm not ready for prime time!
Thought it was my time to shine, right?
Thought I was cool, they said, "Not quite!"
Cause I choked once I hit the limelight
Guess I'm not ready for prime time!

Oeyo, oeyo, ay, oeyo, oeyo
I said oeyo, oeyo
I said oeyo, oeyo

Thought I'd try to write a love song
I mean, I'm a good poet, how could it go wrong?
So I put my pen to the page, and it honestly came out like this
Girl, you're so hot, your smile's like a sauna (aye!)
Girl, I like you, so I kinda wanna
Vibe with you
Talk all night with you
Light some candles
Anything will do!
I mean we can talk philosophy
We can look at the stars like it's astronomy
I just want honesty 'cause my heart is melting, can you hold it?
Can you be the tear in my heart when I'm frozen?
I wanna get lost in your woods and never be found!
I wanna drown in your seas and never have to shout!
But then a voice in my head said, "Stop! Stop!
Before I call the musical cop, cops!
That was straight up terrible, and you need to not do that again!"
So I sighed and put down my pen
I said, "You're right, guess I'm not ready for prime time!"

I thought it was my time to shine, right?
Thought I was cool, they said, "Not quite"
Cause I choked once I hit the limelight
Guess I'm not ready for prime time!
Thought it was my time to shine, right?
Thought I was cool, they said, "Not quite!"
Cause I choked once I hit the limelight
Guess I'm not ready for prime time!

Oeyo, oeyo, I said, oeyo, oeyo
Everybody say oeyo, oeyo
I said oeyo, oeyo
