In the spotlight
Grab the sunglasses, throw the coats away
It's hot like heatwaves over the lower 48

From the Verrazano-Narrows to the Golden Gate
Zoom in, number one in the nation, no there's no debate
Between the Mississippi and Missouri, yo, behold the state
You know we wreck, it's IA, no d-tec needed to close the case
We control the pace, no disrespect to Indy
But indeed, when in the D, you can feel the energy
The land that will stop your heart rate, man it's wild
Dead meat's on the top shelf in the dirty money aisle
It's where the rivers kiss and the Interstates hug
My city is a getaway hub, home of the AAA Cubs
Where sec taylor set slayers spit on your principles
And rip the stage up

Every thought is constant, always on it day and night
And every word is eternal, fan the flames, it's bright
Every time its heard is a hurdle over pain and strife
And every sentence is forever, man, I'm here for life

From Gary Grice to Jerry Rice I pilot on and carry flights
Forget the blank stares, I came to escalate, elevate
Classrooms from vast tombs and lairs of mice to paradise
A chalkboard, desk and chairs to Mic is like hairs to lice
Keep it cool or I'll make you see spots like the glare from lights
Take me down, I'll get up again like when they buried Christ
10, 9, 8, etc., and then I'm heading up
Shine like stars, burn into your retina

Your love turned out to be lust, it's just a weak perversion
When I say 'light', I don't mean a weaker version
If you try to act strong, but know that you're a meager person
It's not a sign of weakness to seek conversion

Giants to the Giants, minus climates define us
Bet you never met warriors so sick with the science
Electron bonds spark the contrasts so stark
MICL Phelps, swimming among the devils and sharks
Haters say it's so sub-par, so freaking what?
Honest, no need to front, modest, don't need too much
White picket fence, front yard with a Beatles cut
Veggie garden, Mike Tyson vegan style beefing up
State troopers let the governor speed
So I valet and parley wherever I please
When that empire falls and you rush west for gold
Take a break off the 80 to replenish the soul
In the spot light
