The Light (feat. Edmerald)

Strained lessons i've plagued by depression
Time to let it go i'll spill it all in my confession
Lord forgive me for i have sinned
This list is too long where on earth do i begin
Let's start with those i mistreated women i cheated
Those i turned my back on in times when they really needed
I could scream apologies to those i hurt
Problem is my actions they speak louder than words
Were only human so we all stray
Our actions cause reactions so we all pay

This morning i woke up saw a light
And that light came shining through
Never felt a light so bright
It came in and filled my room
Yes i seen the light shining
Yes i seen the light shining through
The same light that shines on me is the same light that shines on you

The light showed me that failure was part of the road
Cos i learnt more from failing truth be told
I captained my own ship navigated seas's safely
Stormy waters came they all jumped ship to safety
I went down sinking my hands tied to the helm
Thought i went from queens to brooklyn the way i was taking the L
I get taken to heights and then i plummet
Caterpillars they flourish and now they make me sick to my stomach
And these voices in my head they say confusing shit
So i look toward the light because im losing it

This morning i woke up saw a light
And that light came shining through
Never felt a light so bright
It came in and filled my room
Yes i seen the light shining
Yes i seen the light shining through
The same light that shines on me is the same light that shines on you

When the light shines bright im feeling it
Rejection hit me bad didn't know how to deal with it
I smile to hide my feelings and brave it
Mental slaughter cos like a hoarder i just save it
In the hard drive of my soul and i'm so disconnected
They all talk reckless all i do is bite my tongue like epileptics
An episode the divine directed and i can't switch off or exit
Cos this is real life not netflix
I'm on some next shit saw the light embraced it
Made it easier accept what i'm faced with

This morning i woke up saw a light
And that light came shining through
Never felt a light so bright
It came in and filled my room
Yes i seen the light shining
Yes i seen the light shining through
The same light that shines on me is the same light that shines on you

One time i saw the light at work it left me vacant
A car hit this kid his soul was taken
His head underneath my arm i couldn't stop shaking
But his time had come so who was i to save him
I looked into his eyes i saw a piece of fear
But he must have seen the light cos i saw peace was near
Thoughts of life and death controlling me
For the next couple months all i did was cry uncontrollably
So be thankful when you take that breath
You never know when that light will come as light or death

This morning i woke up saw a light
And that light came shining through
Never felt a light so bright
It came in and filled my room
Yes i seen the light shining
Yes i seen the light shining through
The same light that shines on me is the same light that shines on you
