Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
[Verse 2]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 3]
Ten thousand eyes stare down upon me
Five thousand handsome peoples
Makes me feel a tingle in my spine
The lights are bright and so adorning, they hypnotize
And make me realize that things'll work out just fine
[Verse 4]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 5]
The people's screams are like injections
Of magic stimulation, the fascination, hits me right on time
Once I get out there, gonna show them, that pound for pound
There's no one else around, I'm puttin' it on the line
[Verse 6]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 7]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 8]
The people's screams are like injections
Of magic stimulation, the fascination, hits me right on time
Once I get out there, gonna show them, that pound for pound
There's no one else around, I'm puttin' it on the line
[Verse 9]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 10]
My stage fright
Holds back me
All night
Stage fright
It's down right
Mind boggling
My stage fright
[Verse 11]
My stage fright
