Light

Uh-huh, is it time?

Look, I spent my whole life trying to improvise

I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize

Spent 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 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

Going up, with the ones I hold it down with

Whole city got my back on some photobomb shit

Whole city blowing 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 niggas takin' chains, slave master 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

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, I guess I'm profound in this bitch

My dad from Louisiana, man the smallest town

Where if they know you brown, they might hold you down

And even hose you down, man

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

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

And realized counting money never feel as good as counting blessings

And a loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon

So when they take the fame, take the crib

Take our cars, now we gotta take the train

Hood niggas takin' chains, slave master 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

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

Don't let them take away your soul

No, no (no, no)

Don't let them take away what makes you whole
