SPOTLIGHT / INNER CHILD Letra - Dominic Fike ft. Tay-K

I hear a voice in the vent

Through which a poison was sent

As she was fixing my teeth

I see the back of my head

See how the homeless are bent

From the fent'

Sometimes I feel like a bug

Motion detect

Not all the boys in the hood

Grow up to be men

Some grow up to be insect

And drain the blood out my neck

Oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Look through the cameras, the kids

Dragged into the mist

I tried to grab 'em, my grip

Slipping through my mitts

Whatever happens, up next

I will do my best, best

Yo, Tay, you there?

Yeah, I'm chill, I'm right here

Yo, what's up, G, how you doing?

I'm still here, bro, how you doing?

Man, I'm doing straight, I'm great

Good, good to hear, man

Now, we're just out here in Texas

John's been telling me y'all were working on something that sounds really special

Yeah, hell yeah, bro, we been locked in, bruh, I just, um (Shit)

I hope you locked in out there too, you know what I'm sayin'

This thing is it's fire, bro, you know what I'm sayin'

Stay free, stay tapped in with your inner child, bro (Yessir)

I love everything you doing, bro, that shit hard, bro

Man, I appreciate that, it means a lot, brother, thank you

You know, we're making an album right now and it's the last day of the album (Uh-huh)

And we just wanted people like getting shit off their chest

Okay, bet, so you don't have no type of specific lane?

Any like, even if it's a wide range (Yeah), like, you don't got—?

Well, you know I'm quitting, right, I'm tryna quit smoking

That's kinda the thing about this album, so

And spiritually it's been like a journey, obviously 'cause you kind of realize you need something

It's kind of the last thing I'm cutting out as an addiction

And it's like, I'm at this point where I realize, "Damn, I kinda need something"

Like I'm a, I need a vice

Like I'm, you know

And we been moving throughout the world

I just had a son, we been touring a lot

I'm feeling disconnected from my home, um

And I'm growing up at the same time

And so it's just, I don't know, from being thirty to culmination of all these things

Being thirty like

I don't know where you're at with life right now

But I'd be curious to hear it, whatever, you know, just any sentiment that comes to the mind I think

If you just wanna spit whatever on your heart (Okay)

And if nothing comes through, that's alright too

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, overstood, brother, this is it

That's kind of what I needed right there, it's good

Yo, what's good, Dominic bro?

It's Tay-K reporting live from the belly of the beast, you feel me?

I thought about what we talked about earlier and I just wanted to kind of like, feel you, bro

No matter what, what I would say is just stay connected to like your inner child, bro

Like, when I be going through all these dark times I be going through, you know I'm saying like

I try to hold on to that youthful connection in life

Everything's a learning experience

Everything is wonderful, everything is amazing

Like, I try to see the beauty in every experience

I ain't gon' lie, bro, my mom went through a lot, bro, I ain't gon' lie, like

What I love about her is that like

What everybody kinda love about her

'Cause you know like every— like every— all my inner circle, they all know what my mama went through

But like, bro, she still got like the glow to just light up the whole entire room

Like being done goin' through all that crazy-ass shit

Time after time, drug addiction, abuse, everything

And she still like held on to her glow, bro

I love my mom to death

Trying to explain that I love you

The best way I can

The best way I can

Trying to explain that I love you

The best way I can

The best way I can

Trying to explain that I love you

The best way I can

The best way I can
