Corrección Letra THE LIGHT (Original) par Kevin Abstract

Regreso

Letra

I watched a lot of n***as lie like it's the truth
I've been staying down to Earth, digging deeper by the roots
Have a conscious and my confidence, they down to make a truce
When they stop aiming at each other, that's the strongest I'ma shoot, look
I'm from the trenches, but I never get salutes
All these fragments of myself make the human y'all dispute
Turned the memories to melodies, my life was like a loop
When you ballin' for a reason you see more than just the hoop, n***a
I'm out for dead presidents for every dead homie
They throwin' anchors on my boat but that sh*t can't hold me
Dedicate this sh*t to anyone who think they know me
Living off of how it sounds but never listened closely
Before you tell me who I am, you gon' have to show me
I went back to where I came from, I know where I'm going

We grew apart but that's life right? (Life)
Pick up my phone everyday but don't call, that's life right? (Life)
You a fraud, I bet you can't even face me
Realest thing I ever did was stop being complacent
Time after time, I let 'em walk on me
So I walk on water, let they eyes decieve
I'm ashamed of the man in the mirror, can't see
The same thing everybody around me see
There's beauty in it baby, there's beauty in the failure
Beauty in Rock Bottom and way up to the hills there
I should have been dead for some of the doses I was takin'
Wakin' up, shakin', my mama hold me, she was patient
My flight plan went from straight down to space station
I can't take the pressure when the walls start to cave in
I need ya', I need ya' more than ever baby, right now
So, when I fallin', all I do is reach for the sky now

Feels good 'cause them boys back again
Bust it down, then we split the dividends
Me and my n***as make commisions over there
Came from rags to riches so it's back to business
Feels good 'cause we boys up in here, yeah
Bust it down, then we split the dividends
Me and my n***as pray for real, this sh*t ain't fair
Came from rags to riches so it's back to business

You want passion? You want my head man?
I don't know which one
It's like a [?], no vision
I'm like a pilgrim, y'all told me kill some
See full brother, ok [?]
I'm from the forest, I'm still running brotha'
Die lit, die in the function
With the white hat, still recordin'
Walk in my footsteps, walk on shattered glass
20 in, 2020's, we a tantrum
Before the virus, these rappers wear masks
Willy Willy said "I'm really real", we'll pass
Moved out my [?]
BROCKHAMPTON my family and my band
You will never gonna get this hot, ever again
Pull this cop [?]
Motherf**k the opps 'cause they will never win
On the dead homies and the opps, goddamn
Either that or got crushed by they own reflection
Move to the hills, still livin' in depression
That's a false plan, I ain't never seen some [?]
Killin' black boys, still the same agenda

Feels good 'cause we boys up in here, yeah
Bust it down, then we split the dividends
Me and my n***as pray for real, this sh*t ain't fair
Came from rags to riches so it's back to business

No matter what, I'm gonna be here, standing on my two feet
And if they wanna label me a tragedy, then goddamnit
I'mma be the most beautiful tragedy that they've ever f**kin' seen

When I look at myself, I see a broken man
Remnants of my pops, put the Glock to his head
Nothing ever go as planned, couldn't make amends
Forcibly pretend I don't give a damn
At a loss, aimless, six feet deep
Suffocatin', can't face it
Can't change it, ain't make it
Master plans by the Maker, I see no savior
Morbid reflection and stainless steel, alcohol and pills
Deadly combinations left with nothin' else to feel
A floral haven, hope it was painless, I see you in the faces
Places and my making, reflections off a broken mirror
Fragments of my fear glarin' back like, "Who's there?"
I can't stand myself, beside myself, I see you there
I know you cared
Felt numb since September when I heard the news
What I'd do to speak one last time
Think I always will be haunted by the image of a bloody backdrop Skull fragments in the ceilin', felt your presence in the room
Heard my mother squealin'
Master of disguises, ash to ash, dust to dust
Voids behind my eyelids, blacking out, bleeding out
Silence louder than a twisted tongue lying
As sick as our secrets
Shadow people and needles fading through a peephole
Bedtime stories from purgatory, I miss you

The light
The light

The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming please don't do it
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming please don't do it

Sick of these n***as givin' me false info
Like I ain't grow up on MTV, Boondocks and The Chappelle Show
b*t*h I can handle the truth
That's how I entered the booth
Look at all these bruises I got
It gave me so much confidence
Back when I was makin' songs at my momma's crib
The candle's lit, the temperature rising
What type of man can find the right time to fly in
Especially when my cousin dyin'
Should've never sold my soul
Should've protected all my opinions
To see the world move without you feel like a daydream
Kool-aid stands, band-aids wrapped around your beautiful hands
Protect me from the city
Couldn't save me from the world back then
Had Jeezy on repeat in your whip
No peace in my streets
And these days, no license
Only take the Jeep if my boyfriend is drivin'
Plus he got the kinda skin that make the police like him
Ever since I was a kid, I always felt so frightened
My momma from the ghetto
Her vote go to any n***a that keep Jesus in the convo
Me and her just get on good terms
Thank God for them unexpected turns
Breaks her heart when she see my city burn
Thank God for teachin' me how to learn to have empathy even when it burns
But I hate that you got me in this box expecting me to see the light
See the light, see the light
All my n***as to the right, right, right
You see the light, light, light, light
And all my n***as to the left, right
Left, right, left, right
You see the light, light, light, light, light, light
