In The Light

I was spot off in that light
Light off in that spot
I was, I was, I, I was
I was spot off in that light
Light off in that spot
I was, I was, I, I was

I was walking through the valley of the shadow of death
I was told take the alley cuz the valley's a mess
Took ahold of the rock that made Goliath profess
I spent a, life as a child, I'm prepared for the test
And a series of pests, just getting buried in cess
No leaving the tracks or getting beaten by press
A pessimist yes, but an optimist, no
I was taught you're only living as far as artifacts go
I was headed for the light but saw the bugs from below
I had to turn of all the lights and survive on the glow
Some dudes be passing out the liquor and be dumping out blow
Just to get an inch of my stitch or a bitch and a hoe
I started building in the back and just letting it grow
I was letting them know as far as intelligence goes
I was letting them know as far as my penmanship shows
That a lion's unconcerned with the sheep and the clones
That my fire's undisturbed by the wind and the storm
And music's not a business, but an act to perform
So I'm running all my records til like 6 in the morn'
While these other cats jack with some lotion and porn, they're not
watching what's important because they don't know where they're going
While my own is like a poem with some xylem and phloem
Because my roots are fucking growing like I'm soaking up ocean
And Andre's got the hook cuz the light is the moment, Yeah!

I was spot off in that light
Light off in that spot,
I was, I was, I, I was
