Light

Look, I spent my whole life tryin' to improvise
 I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize
 Spent my whole life tryin' to 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
 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
 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'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 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, and hood niggas 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, man 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
