V6-MINI

[Verse 1]

Jelly, what's the price when the spotlight calls?
Big stage, bright lights, shadows on the walls.
Everybody cheering, everybody screaming your name,
But I'm wondering if the truth got lost chasing fame.

Started with a story, started with a dream,
Now everything's filtered through the industry machine.
Gold records, headlines, cameras in your face,
But can you still recognize the mirror in that place?

[Pre-Chorus]

They want the image, they don't want the scars,
They want the highlight reel, not the nights in the dark.
Everybody reaching for the top of the game,
Some lose themselves trying to win that fame.

[Chorus]

Jelly, tell me what it's worth in the end,
If the crowd loves the act but forgets who you've been?
A million eyes watching, but can they see your soul?
When the spotlight burns bright, does it take its toll?

Jelly, everybody wants a seat on the throne,
But some roads get lonely when you're walking alone.
I'm not chasing the crown, I'm protecting my name,
While they're trading authenticity for a little more fame.

[Verse 2]

Jelly, I see the circus and the smoke in the air,
Everybody selling dreams like they really care.
Contracts and handshakes, promises made,
Truth gets discounted when the bills get paid.

I'm from the school where respect comes first,
Where character matters more than the numbers at work.
You can have the spotlight, you can have the applause,
I'm standing on principles, that's my cause.

[Bridge]

The world keeps spinning,
The trends keep changing,
Fifteen minutes of glory,
Then the crowd starts fading.

What's left when the noise disappears?
What's left when nobody's cheering in your ears?

[Final Chorus]

Jelly, tell me what it's worth in the end,
If success costs pieces of the person within.
The lights go down, the curtain will fall,
And the truth is the only thing standing through it all.

Jelly, I'm choosing purpose over fortune and fame,
Keeping my integrity, protecting my name.
When history's written and the records get old,
I'd rather keep my heart than sell my soul.
