Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause a long may come a bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off (Yeah, just waiting 'til the, the, yeah)
Uh-huh, I gotcha, uh, yeah
With the same sword they knight you, they gon' goodnight you with
Shit, that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus, see success, is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified, uh
Media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you, "You're ghetto"
So, it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now
And the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?" Because I'm-
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
