My only friend is the microphone
Is the microphone, yeah
I chose a microphone
I chose a microphone over you
Yeah, thousands of fans, blowing up my phone
Say they sticking to my side, I still feel alone
They don't tell you bout the dark side I'm publically known
They don't tell you watch your back, just be watching your tone
World on my shoulders, they don't tell you how to handle that
Came from the bottom, earned our place never handed that
Said I want the money but, you could keep the fame
Now fifty-thousand people hear my voice and know my name
I can't afford to be shy anymore
Can't afford to act out
Open up my past now
I get paid to vent now
I could do it all day
I done came a long way
And I just can't believe I made a living on a microphone
Yeah
On a microphone, yeah
I chose a microphone
I chose a microphone over you
But I still wan be close to you
But I know it'd be hard if I told you the truth
Yeah, close to you
Know I'm far from home yeah
My only friend is the microphone
Is the microphone, yeah
I chose a microphone
I chose a microphone over you, yeah
