Lyrics

[Intro]
What happens to a shooting star?
What happens to a shooting star?
What happens to a shooting star?
What happens to a shooting star?
What happens to a shooting star?
What happens to a shooting star?
[Verse 1]
Uh, I wake up late from this bed again
Does the sun only rise just to set again?
That darkness always creeps in
Don't make me question the skin I'm in
Huh, I think I'm not who you think you thought I was
Really came up from the bottom, came up from the mud
I walk through the valley in the end
Better check your ego, come again
[PreChorus]
Uh, a little bird told me I'm too loud
A little bird better shut their mouth
Uh, I walk by the side of the kings tonight
Let me show you how to rise, rise
[Chorus]
This is who we are, go on and hate me
I've showed you all my scars
I've walked through rain and fire for you lately
Burning like a shooting star
Now this is who we are
[Verse 2]
Uh, I move fast, quick flash, it'll light you up
You move slow, quick flash, it'll burn you up
Can't talk down to me, wanna stay up
Give me space, give me time, go on and back it up
Back door, thinking bad with your battle axe
I'ma go show katana blade battle, ah
If I'm gon' do it, know I gotta do it right
Y'all better go ahead kiss that ring at night
[PreChorus]
Uh, a little bird told me I'm too loud
Um, a little bird better shut their mouth
Uh, as I walk by the side of the kings tonight
Let me show you how to rise, rise
[Chorus]
This is who we are, go on and hate me
I've showed you all my scars
I've walked through rain and fire for you lately
Burning like a shooting star
Now this is who we are
[Bridge]
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are
[Chorus]
This is who we are, go on and hate me
I've showed you all my scars
I've walked through rain and fire for you lately
Burning like a shooting star
Now this is who we are, are, are
[Bridge]
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are, are, are
This is who we are
[Outro]
This is who we are, go on and hate me
I've showed you all my scars
I've walked through rain and fire for you lately
Burning like a shooting star
This is who we are
