City lights blaze like a neon cage
I'm a player on a broken stage
Chasing dreams that vanish in smoke
Life's a riddle man a cruel joke
Empty pockets hearts of stone
They built their thrones I'm overthrown
But I ain't bound by their shiny chains
I walk the edge I leave no stains
They tell me bow they tell me kneel
But I'm steel toed boots on a spinning wheel
Gravity pulls but my soul won't stay
I'm a comet that'll burn away
The billboard kings the plastic thrones
All their empires built on borrowed bones
I'm a rebels note in a deaf man's song
Not for this world I don't belong
They count their cash they write their rules
But I'm a dropout from their school
A renegade a lone parade
This world can't buy the choice I made
I'm not for this world nah not for this game
Let the fire burn I'm not chasing fame
They can keep the cash I'll take the sky
I'm not for this world I'm just passing by
I see the skyline but I look past the glow
These streets are loud but the silence I know
They chase the paper while I chase the light
Their shadows dance but I'm aiming for flight
Clock ticks slow but my heart beats fast
This life is a vapor it'll never last
Gold chains will rust and the fame will fade
I'm stacking treasures where the streets are paved
I hear the whispers telling me to stay
Build a castle but it's made out of clay
The neon signs flash but they burn out quick
Eternal waters flow and I take that sip
They call me crazy but my eyes see clear
Their kingdom's crumbling and the end is near
I'm walking narrow while they run wide
Got my passport stamped for the other side
Can't take the cars can't take the gold
What's the price of the soul when the story's told
I plant my seeds in the soil of grace
Where the harvest shines in a timeless place
Not for this world nah I'm living for the next
Not for the moment nah I'm living for the best
The glitter here blinds but the truth reflects
Not for this world nah I'm living for the next
Shadows stretch where the sun won't glow
Feet on the earth but my mind says go
I see the gold but I don't chase shine
This dirt ain't home I'm out of time
Chains on my wrist but they can't hold dreams
I walk through fire hear the angels scream
Hollow streets whisper secrets to me
This ain't my dream this ain't my destiny
Clouds break open I see a sign
Past the horizon where stars align
You keep your crowns your glitter your gold
I'm stepping forward my story's told
Brick by brick this cage is tall
I don't belong I hear the call
Not for this world not for the lies
Living for the next where the soul won't die
Not for the fame not for the fight
Living for the next in eternal light
Not for this world
Not for this world
