Paroles
[Verse 1]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we right on
[Verse 2]
Yo, I try to get it how I live it
A lot of people counting on me kinda like a digit
It's a cruel world, I'm not fronting like it isn't
There's no time for coming up shorter than a midget
Y'all know I'm a raise the bar though, like Bridgette
See every star go, don't blink, you might miss it
It's precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it
The light comes in different types, be more specific
Shit, I'm Black though what could be more prolific
For this love I go above and beyond the limit
I told y'all I'm above and beyond the gimmick
I get into your head and spread like a pandemic
I never put myself in a race I can't finish
I'm well grounded, founded on the same premise
As any man with a hit list, it's bout business
Yo can a brother get a witness, dig it right on
[Verse 3]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we right on
[Verse 4]
Aight okay, I'm above and beyond hot
My measurements in watts
Time rate and flow of energy ain't never gonna stop
Pressure's on, I won't pop microphone I won't drop
Gym stones, ****'s copying shit if I ain't in the spot
It's the orion that I hop, the new star to hit
I shine a light for the future so my presence a gift
It's evident I'm heaven sent
With Thomas Edison elements
Reverent for what I represent to show my benevolence
This is Dilly, I'm repping for the art of the city
Came from Southwest Atlantic and gave my heart to the city
Where slugs fly, thugs cry, 'cause every part of it's gritty
****'s shooting up the club like they party with Diddy
You pick the diggy, I put my incandescence to fluorescence
And an essence I convert with for energy per second
I put 'em on the lesson while I'm smoking on a pleasant
A switch hitter like Pete Rose, right at the session
Right on
[Verse 5]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we write on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I right on, right on
Here we right on
