More Light

[I have this feeling deep inside] [That I'm on my way home] I be...lettin' these potions breathe, rum and upholstery... The same color brown as the Jahshua Smith coaching tree Either it is what it is, or whether it isn't though We still in top tier, of the craft at our pinnacle [hunh] My lane open, got James Cone in my veins flowin' The exodus of my people parted them same oceans To shine bright, receive the light, and tamp the soil And grow to be legends like Cameron Doyle In the spite of black luxury...some religious at our best prestigious Learn to shine at unspoken distance Yet the struggle's truly vicious, I repent and Hope my ghetto is a world with gold brick roads, emerald cities, and Ruby Bridges Equity, tell my mentees mind the sky Never quit when you on E? At the end you find your "why" Many innocents might die, at the pulse of a regime But the soul is incandescent, the brilliant glow of our golden dreams [Above the stars and the heavens above] I shine [Above the stars and the heavens above] You shine [Above the stars and the heavens above] We shine Uh, it's More Light Yo, your light can shine as free as Che was, you spend your day buzzed Caught lackin', face down...gettin' robbed outside them shake clubs Dead and locked up? Don't receive no pension Case closed...not a tweet, direct message, nor mention And I gladly trade these Cartier lenses, just to pardon they sentence Cause God gives and what they call it? [Repentance] The ghosts inside of Cass Corridor, demons strollin' down St. Aubin I pray for peace and Marquese at night, as I lay often Livin' 2 lives, like Luke with the Blue eyes Whether self-hate or jealousy, hellscapes or felonies In love with stimulation or simulations they peddling These crews seek vanilla skies like Tom or Penelope Before they seen 18, they bustin' P-80s Seen workin' girls get they PhDs They say these ironborn slaves can move ghosts when they speak Superior Black thought from the Roots to Tariq Generations of power, KVAs when you catch a key Then die by the hand of the night, kings at electric speed The soul of revolution from Ferguson to Tel Aviv Red, Black and Green when I wear my heart on these leather sleeves [Above the stars and the heavens above] I shine [Above the stars and the heavens above] You shine [Above the stars and the heavens above] We shine Uh, it's More Light
