This lil Light of Mine

This lil light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This lil light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

I need some sleep
You can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But it's more that I always miss
Everyone said I'm getting down to low
Everyone said you just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
You can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But it's more that I always miss
Everyone said I'm getting down to low
Everyone said you just gotta let it go

I can't even feel my high at all
I'm highly involved with a higher cause
So if I don't say Hi to y'all
I had a run in with the Shadow at the crossroads
Had a whole lot to offer and bout had me sold
Shhhh
Can u keep a secret
I never met him in my life but he knew all my weakness
I'd describe him as a con he got a way with words
He be doing this his whole life and started with a third
You ever notice in these stories they told us
Ain' ain't nothing new under the Sun I'm practically Moses
That burning bush well does it count if I smoke it
Everyone deserves to know the truth from youngest to oldest
They approach us
With fortune and fame or even a castle
But these demons that I battle got me popping these capsules
Wanna takeover my body use as their tabernacle
That Shadow
He know how to attract you
Tricked Eve with an apple

I need some sleep
You can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But it's more that I always miss
Everyone said I'm getting down to low
Everyone said you just gotta let it go

I wish GOD had a first name so he could know just who I'm talking too
With all these different religions how u think I got confused
A miracle a blessing or a sign can I get some proof
Or I'll just keep asking myself WWJD
Again no answer I guess nobody's home
If GODs my father then Poppa is a Rollin' Stone
A lot odd people might disagree but to each they own
But they lied to me Chapter Twenty
Fourth verse of Psalm
Karma cleaning up and since I made a mess
Came home from prison just to see Momma dying from ALS
I'm stressed
And I'd be lying if I told her that I gave my best
She say I'm blessed
Daddy telling me be strong say it with ya chest
Yesss
I need a break before I break I'm bout to fall apart
It's getting dark in that spot I use to call my heart
GOD is you talking to me or is it my thoughts
I need ya help quick before my soul get lost

I need some sleep
You can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But it's more that I always miss
Everyone said I'm getting down to low
Everyone said you just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
You can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But it's more that I always miss
Everyone said I'm getting down to low
Everyone said you just gotta let it go

This lil light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This lil light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
