Homeschool Dance Team - All This Is for Me Lyrics

It seems to me like rapping has a stereotypical line
To what is right and what is categorized as out of time
But I know you'll buy this crap as long as I make it rhyme
Cause everybody's rapping like creativity is a crime
Flipping dimes calling in the air heads or tails I tell you why
There's more to everything than just being black and white
There's so much color
A beautiful spectrum
And it flashes before our eyes
Take advantage of the night skies
Say hello's and goodbye's
Getting bakes like apple pies
Just to find some purpose in our melodramatic lonely lives
But I got to move on because I'm getting sentimental
But like an Applebees coupon
This chorus is essential

Do you really want to shine like a star
There's so many we can't tell them apart
And frankly we don't know where they are
And are they really any closer to God
Closer to god

I'm tired of seeing all my friends becoming wannabe's
Who knew seeing somebody else's pain would ever bother me
It's easy to rap about our views on society
I'm just praying that my father ain't gonna never lose sight of me

Everybody's painting
The picture they're escaping
Politics
Are not mine for the taking

There's a different epidemic
A slip stream of panic
A creative diabetic
A boy whose dreams were buried
Deep below the sediment
And they settle
Stepping in pre-existing footsteps
I call that embezzlement

I don't have advice
Tips on who you should be
You should never think twice
Because in reality
All this is for me

So maybe I could live my life in complacency
So I could someday ask somebody to stay with me
And I know we're all perfectly casted for our role
But do I really want to be in control

Do you really want to shine like a star
There's so many we can't tell them apart
And frankly we don't know where they are
And are they really any closer to God
Closer to god
Do you really want to shine like a star
There's so many we can't tell them apart
And frankly we don't know where we are
I just want to be closer to God
Closer to god

If I was closer to you
