Nelly – On The Radio lyrics

Oh oh
Oh oh
You liked me 'til
You heard my sh*t
On the radio
Well I hate to say
But pop ain't going solo
You liked me 'til
You heard my sh*t
On the radio
But now I'm just too
Mainstream for you
Oh no

You liked me 'til
You seen me on your TV
Well if you're so low
Below then why you watching
You say good things
Come to those who wait
Well I've been waiting
A long time for it

Chorus:
I remember the days
When I was so
Eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was
Just to prove I
Could walk beside you

Now that I've
Flown away
I see you've chosen
To stay behind me
And still you curse the day
I decided to stay
True to myself

You say your quest
Is to bring it higher
Well I never seen
Change without a fire
But from your mouth
I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath
I think it's a lot of yearning

Your face, the colors
Change from green to yellow
To the point where
You can't even say hello
You tell me you'd kill me
If I ever snob you out
Like that's what you'd
Expect from me
Like that's what I'm about

Chorus

It's so much easier
To stay down there
Guaranteeing you're cool
Than to sit up
Here exposing myself
Trying to break through

Than to burn
In the spotlight (open fire!)
Turn in the spitfire (open fire)
Scream without
Making a sound (open fire!)
Be up here and
Not looking down (open fire!)
Because we're all
Afraid of heights

Chorus

Myself (x24)
