Shadow in the Spotlight
Drake

Verse 1:
I’m on my way up, feeling so alive,
Got my dreams in sight, watch me thrive.
But here comes that shadow, creeping on in,
Whispers in my ear, tellin’ me I can’t win.

Chorus:
Why’s he always here, when the lights are bright?
Casting doubt in my mind, stealing my night.
Every good moment, he takes for his own,
Like a ghost in my life, I’m never alone.

Verse 2:
Success on the rise, I should be proud,
But he’s in the back, lurking in the crowd.
Got my head spinning, can’t trust my heart,
Every time I shine, he’s tearing me apart.

Chorus:
Why's he always here, when the lights are bright?
Casting doubt in my mind, stealing my night.
Every good moment, he takes for his own,
Like a ghost in my life, I’m never alone.

Bridge:
When the sun rises, will he fade away?
Or is this struggle just my day-to-day?
I need to find strength, I need to believe,
In the good within, I can’t let him deceive.

Verse 3:
These reflections hit deep, got me questioning fate,
Is he here to guide me, or seal my fate?
But I’ll take back my light, shine it so bright,
Leave behind the shadows, step into the light.

Chorus:
Why's he always here, when the lights are bright?
Casting doubt in my mind, stealing my night.
Every good moment, he takes for his own,
But I’m breaking free now, I’m claiming my throne.

Outro:
So here’s to the future, I’m ready to rise,
With every good moment, I’ll cut all the ties.
No more the shadow, I’m done with the fight,
I’ll own my success, I’ll claim my own light.
