Light (feat. Lushess)

What up my friends and fam?

I know it starved days across the land and darkness never fades

And still you're wearing eye shades

And maybe no one ever get a chance to see ya soul

And lately circumstance at home is grim enough to take its toll

I got an item

Chop and change, like channels on the TV

My granddad, he won't die a 93

I never though I'd see the line in the land so frustrated

But old folks, nursing homes will keep you separated

And I long for summer days but I've no summer holidays

'Cause summer is prime time to line your wallet

And I always promise, next year I'll compromise

And no lie, we'll make time and we'll just sit on beaches chill, right

'Cause lately life is one cycle of tryna make ends meet

You know a girl and from her work she wanna eat

But no silver spoon fed this bitch

'Cause I would ya melt silver spoons and make bullets for this clip, alright

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

(Bright light and candle)

Tonight I make a choice to live

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

(Now we holdin' up our, holdin' up our)

Now, when you're young they'll try and tell you that you're worth something

Then you grow up and you realise that you're not and then you hurt something

We're half done and tryna make 21

Like life is 20 on the hype

No explanation and now

Everyone wanna be 21 time but never only little

Cat got your tongue

Stuck in a cell now with no acquittal

'Cause convict minds are a convict lie

And the colonised designed white pride fuckers don't know their own bloodline

Fist to the back of the head, never fist to the sky

Fucked on terrorist threats, never government lies

Need to open up their eyes when it's dark outside

So light a candle up tonight

(Light a candle)

I go from backstage at festivals to nursing homes and hospitals

And caring at home for old folk who once cared for me

So if I stack more degrees, it's 'cause he never finished Year 3

And never ever had a chance to dream

But it was he who gave me space to breathe, space to breathe

(Space to breathe, space to breathe)

And literally a place to be

(Place to be)

When I was growing up you see

(When I was growing up you see)

He always said to me "Don't ever be like me, just know yourself and get the best

And don't ever work for free"

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

(Light your candle)

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

(Now we holdin' up our, holdin' up our)

They say that every day we wake

We got something to choose but then

What's a choice if you've got nothing to lose

A mad woman masquerading as sane and amused

Where name of the game is to detonate a fuse

And we, we near a life up in the night of these elusive notes

And plenty open many cokes and we refuse to choke

I know that what goes up, yeah, must come down

But in the bottom of that black is where the gold is found

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

(Light your candle)

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

(Now we holdin' up our, holdin' up our)

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

Tonight I make a choice to live

(Light your candle)

Now we ain't shooting strays

Bright light and candle light

(Now we holdin' up our, holdin' up our)
