Cause baby you're a star
So let your light shine
Searching for your glow never know what you might find
Tomorrow don't exist so now is the right time
To add that beat to your lifeline
I had my issues with writing rhymes
Write a line and scratch it out like a hundred times
Cause I don't want nobody else, writing as nice as I
That fuel to my fire could light the entire sky
Why
I'm always questioning the big man
And why I take his way of teaching personal
I just want to manifest this big plan
With hopes to fill a void and find a purpose too
I ask why it take so long to write a verse or two
He said "I'm tryna work with you, make you much more versatile"
Now I'm more for certain of this purpose in my heart
The only way you'll find the light
Is by searching through the dark
(Shine)
Look Look
(They won't let your boy shine)
Man why they trying to that to a nigga man
(They won't let your boy)
I said why they trying, hold up
Look, I really thought I had it all
Until I seen what Santa Claus
Got them other kids for Christmas
And he ain't scratch and item off my wishlist
I ain't stressing cause all the toys and kicks didn't
Compare to knowing that I was gifted
I had a problem with anger and didn't listen
Never made my bed or did the dishes
Maybe that explains why I ain't get shit
Either that or I knew he never existed
But peep game
Let me tell you how this shit gets deep man
Way before I ever had a care
About having a pair of Airs down on my feet
I was like the jump man ain't nothing outta my reach
Then life intervened and nightmares increased
Them light beer would be
The height before the fight
Ignite fear in me
(Aye, look at this moco county ass nigga)
Despite living aight
They hate me cause I ain't white
(What is you scared little nigga)
Naw it deeper then it's then it appears for a nigga
Identity always been so unclear for a nigga
Who most would think was black
But not African cause the features don't match
They see tats
I speak black
My name Zo not Olubabatunde papi and agree that
He ain't attached like them booty scratching
Cootie having
Eating fufu happy
With they hands always shooing at me
(Ahh you a scare ass nigga)
Sort of but look where it's goes from here for a nigga
Identity always been kinda weird for a nigga
Who most would think was black
But not black enough cause the speech don't match
Growing up in the burbs was the reason for that
I used to keep it a secret
Keep me from being mistreated
Easily being misleading
Seeing the freedom in me being me
Wasn't pleasing
So my thinking was shhh
1982, Pops boarded a plane with just a little bit of hope
Four hundred years earlier
That mode of transportation was definitely on a boat
Generations later I'm left with having to cope
Trying see the big picture while negatively expose
The fact that I'm sober deserves a toast
This is spirit up close
You listening to a ghost nigga
I can show a lot of you the ropes
I got God on body I ain't gotta do the most nigga
If you can make a diamond out of coal
With the right amount of pressure
What that say about your soul nigga
I'm the type to get it on my own
When you really build it from the mud it take a lil long
Yaw told me I'm the one watch the reign take form
We under the same umbrella build for weathering the storm
Take a deep breath
Inhale love and release stress
Set your sights on the heights you ain't reach yet
Try to work it out for a week stretch
Then repeat to make it last forever, word to Keith Sweat
So ima go and let my light shine
Cause you never know what you might find
Tomorrow's don't exist so now is right time
So let your light shine
Searching for your glow never know what you might find
Tomorrow don't exist so now is the right time
To add that beat to your lifeline
