Light up the Sky (Alternate Version)
Till we light up the sky
We makin' moves, we payin' dues
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We do our thang, we'll prove our strength
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We play to win, we'll make it big
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We know our worth, we'll show the world
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We knew from a certain age the world's a stage
Might not like what you see when the curtain's raised
I heard 'em say you gotta learn to play this dirty game
'Cause you ain't earnin' fame based on how you turn a phrase
You try to work your way to some worthy praise
They'll try to lure you straight to an early grave
Make sure you behave certain ways, they prefer you fake
But love is the perfect way to cure the hate
I'm glad I found it, I'm happy now, and I can be proud with
The raps I'm shoutin', the classic sound, and the fact the crown fits
They had me doubtin' I had the prowess to pass the mountain
Lookin' back astounded, I finally found this path around it
It ain't the same, it's safe to say we'll shed some tears
I pray your name won't fade away, the Smoke will never clear
Stay focused, gave roses to the legends here
Before they go 'cause you never know when the end is near
We makin' moves, we payin' dues
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We do our thang, we'll prove our strength
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We play to win, we'll make it big
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We know our worth, we'll show the world
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
If you ain't number one, you're just another zero
Death defyin', one on one, like I'm Brother Nero
I'm Goldberg to old nerds; yo, I come to spear foes
They don't learn, I'm here to let the public hear growth
Play your position, remain resilient and trust as peers glow
Made in His image, He takes the realest, we're stuck with weirdos
It takes a village to raise these children, tough but fearful
The faith of millions, they hate the villain but love the hero
Choose a lane, who's to say which is which?
We can shoot the fade or you can pitch a fit
I'm the antithesis to clueless lames and hypocrites
An antidote to ignorance, a chance to quote magnificence
We bear the cross, it's a scary thought to live through
We share a bond and we share a box of tissues
Prepared or not, beware the odds against you
We're very lost, we'll miss you; the Marathon continues
We makin' moves, we payin' dues
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We do our thang, we'll prove our strength
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We play to win, we'll make it big
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We know our worth, we'll show the world
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
Here's a toast to all the people we lost
I'm completely in shock, why'd you take PnB Rock?
It's a cold world when you go out to eat and get robbed
And your own girl might end up bein' the reason you shot
It's a tragedy, I can't believe it's such a dangerous job
To rap to beats, dance and sing, and entertain with a song (damn!)
You put a smile on our face now you gone
They wait and they plot and we end up payin' the cost
The devil's workin' overtime and Satan is strong
No mercy like Cobra Kai for the snakes in the lawn
Can't even go outside 'less your location is off
They hate when you on your way to the top, they play us for pawns
I'm prayin' to God, hopin' that the violence subsides
The diamonds you buy are not worth the price of your life
For your child to cry, askin' God "Why did he die?"
Rest In Peace, in heaven, king; light up the sky
We makin' moves, we payin' dues
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We do our thang, we'll prove our strength
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We play to win, we'll make it big
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We know our worth, we'll show the world
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We makin' moves, we payin' dues
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We do our thang, we'll prove our strength
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We play to win, we'll make it big
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
We know our worth, we'll show the world
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We just wanna shine till we light up the sky
Light up the sky, light up the sky
We knew from a certain age the world's a stage
