Light (feat. Jeremih)

Uh-huh, is it time?

Look, I spend my whole life tryna improvise

I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize

Spend my whole life tryna find the light that's at the end of the tunnel

I should have realized it was inside

So lately I've been trying to get what's inside outside

So many people wanna see my insides outside

I'm from that city four hours East of Southside

Where everyone outside, but don't fuck with no outsiders

Goin' up, with the ones I hold it down with

Whole city got my back on some photobomb shit

Whole city blowin' up on some old Saddam shit

Before this, I was the one hoes tried to go to prom with

You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars

Now we gotta take the train, hood **** takin' chains

Slavemaster take our names, 5-0 take the shot

And young souls take the blame, man, but they can't take away the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

No, man, they can't fuck with the light

They can't stop your shine

They can't fuck with the light

Hell nah, the boy's that bright

Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

Got the whole city on fire

Boy, this the flow that got Steph Curry inspired

This the flow that got Lebron James finna rewire

This the flow that got my whole family finna retire

Flows on flows, I might drown in this bitch

Ye found a pro, guess I'm profound in this bitch

My dad from Louisiana, man, the smallest town

Where if They know you're brown, they might hold you down and even hose you down, man

Since I'm his son, I feel like I gotta stunt hard

I took the hand that they gave me and played the Donald Trump card

And realized countin' money never feel as good as countin' blessings

And a loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon

So when they take the fame, take our crib, take our cars

Now we gotta take the train, and hood **** takin' chains

Slavemaster take our names, 5-0 take the shot

And young souls take the blame, man, but they can't take away the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

No, man, they can't fuck with the light

They can't stop the shine

No, they can't fuck with the light

Hell, no the boy's that bright

Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

Nah

Don't let them take away your soul

No, no

Don't let them take away what makes you whole
