I SAW THE LIGHT

I only really speak my mind when I get up onto the mic So if they talkin' bout me then it's probably out of spite The streets can f*ck you up but once you got your goals in sight You can make it out the darkness but you gotta be the light I'm almost always hidden but I'm keepin' out of sight On the low it keeps me driven cause my bros be down to fight Let's just focus on the money, why you focused on my height? Cause this short boy got the bars and all the flows you probably bite Listen, the passion about the action, no cappin' I grip the gat and then blast it, we get the money then cash it It's kinda funny, the dragon flies us away while we draggin' nuts in they face I ain't braggin' but either way I get money while you get laid out I take it to the grave while you still take it in the mouth I got bitches tryna link, you barely make it out the house Smoke a blunt and dial 9-1-7 1-6-0-4-9-3-11 Question, do you even try to pay attention? Do you shut the f*ck up and try countin' all your blessings? Because he survives, he makes a coffin for himself I guess that might explain why he be talkin' to himself The thought of mental health, it ain't a thought he likes to think But somewhere deep down he knows he gotta chase his dreams (ayy) You're Amy Schumer with this shit, you know I Dave Chappelle em They always ask me how I do it, this is what I tell em Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold Never thought I'd get the chance, but I'm bigger and bolder, what's happenin'? I got the game on lock, sorrow at the bottom So I put my pain on top, I hit the MPC Yous a NPC, not the type to solve a problem with a M16 Mind over matter, bitch, that's the type of shit I'm on But if we talkin' mental state, then I've been too far gone Ammunition in the mag, boy, this ain't a fuckin' game Real G's pop in silence like we sippin' champagne Now we flippin' chump change, turned my pennies into somethin' Always bragging while I'm rappin' cause I grew up havin' nothin' Had my moment of clarity, but I made it out barely All these folks tryna bury me cause they know that I'm stuntin' It's funny how this money changes situations Miscommunication leads to complications There comes many paths, and you must choose one See, you might win some, but you just lost one Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road Wisdom is better than silver and gold Never thought I'd get the chance, but I'm bigger and bolder, what's happenin'?
