[Intro: SUGA]

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I want a big thing

Oh, boy, let me see

I got a big dream, yeah

[Verse 1: SUGA]

Ooh, I wondered everyday how far I'd go

I came to my senses and I find myself here

Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet

Look down, it's gotten even bigger

I run but the shadow follows, as dark as the light's intense

I'm afraid, flying high is terrifying

No one told me how lonely it is up here

I can leap in the air but also plunge, now I know

Running away could be an option too, pause

[Pre-Chorus: SUGA]

People say, there's splendor in that bright light

But my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster

Up high, high, and higher, higher

I only go higher and vertigo overtakes me

I rise, rise, I hate it

I pray, I pray, hoping to be okay

[Chorus: SUGA]

The moment I'm flying high as I wished

My shadow grows in that blasting stark light

Please don't let me shine, don't let me down

Don't let me fly, now I'm afraid

The moment I faced myself brought the lowest

It so happens that I'm flying the highest

Please don't let me shine (Shine), don't let me down (Down)

Don't let me fly, now I'm scared

Don't let me shine

[Verse 2: SUGA]

Try smiling, what are you hesitating for?

Wasn't this the kind of thing you were hoping for?

Or cry instead, what are you scared of?

Wasn't this the kind of thing you'd been wanting?

The life you hoped for, the life you wanted

The life you chose, you achieved everything without regrets

And on top of that, you have a big house, big cars, big rings

All the things you wanted, you've got it all

So what's the problem? Just enjoy it

Or just let it go, no? Then run, or stop

Don't whine, just choose one or the other

[Pre-Chorus: SUGA]

You're saying I never told you that? (Yeah, yeah)

You're asking me if I really didn't know? (Oh, no)

I'll simply take just as much as you own, whatever it is

That at times, your rest becomes your fall

Do you finally get it? That giving it your best effort every time is what it means to do your best

[Chorus: SUGA]

The moment I'm flying high as I wished

My shadow grows in that blasting stark light

Please don't let me shine, don't let me down

Don't let me fly, now I'm afraid

The moment I face myself brought lowest

It so happens that I'm flying the highest

Please don't let me shine (Shine), don't let me down (Down)

Don't let me fly, now I'm scared

Don't let me shine

[Bridge: SUGA]

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I wanna be…

[Verse 3: SUGA]

Yeah, I'm you, you are me, now do you know

Yeah, you are me, I'm you, now you do know

We are one body, sometimes we will clash

You can never break me off, this you must know

Yeah, yeah, can't break me off, whatever you do

Yeah, you'll be at ease if you admit it too

Yeah, succeed or fail, whichever way you flow

Yeah, you can't escape, wherever you go

[Outro: SUGA]

I am you, you are me, now you do know

You are me, I am you, now do you know

We are one body and we are gonna clash

We are you, we are me, this do you know
