Just In Case

If you don't see me later, you can use this for the ride
I ain't dying no time soon, but I've been feeling death inside
Play this at my viewing if I lied, mama, don't you cry
I've been losing people every year, I'm thinking about my time

I'm at the studio right now with a little water in my eyes
Since a kid, I just wanted to rap, not die trying
And we all gotta go someday, that's just science
If you don't see me later, you can use this for the ride

I hope, I hope I shine bright
For your dark times, here's some light
I'm trying to change lives with the mic
I'm trying to change lives by the night

I wanna change your life if you like
My words are here to stay that I write
I hope, I hope I shine bright
I hope, I hope I shine bright

If you don't see me later, you can use this for the ride
Play this for my son, let him know he'll be alright
For the moments I had nothing to give, I gave him time
I learned that's more precious than any gift I could buy

I ain't grow up with my father and I hope he hear these lines
This ain't a diss this time, so please put up your pride
Please put down that wine and help be there for mine
And I hope it's not a loss when these words find you

I hope, I hope I shine bright
For your dark times, here's some light
I'm trying to change lives with the mic
I'm trying to change lives by the night

I wanna change your life if you like
My words are here to stay that I write
I hope, I hope I shine bright
I hope, I hope I shine bright

If you don't see me later, you can use this for the ride
This verse is for my sister, know you always was my light
We argued, fussed and fight growing up, but that's just life
And I don't think you understand, for you I would take a life

And I almost did, riding around the city as a college kid
Had that red versa sitting right outside where he live
By them tracks, don't nobody know this, but I'm kinda glad he wasn't home
Cause that's one thing I could never ever take back

I was just tryna shine bright, tryna be the light
Tryna be the light yeah
I was just tryna shine bright
Tryna be the light

I'm tryna be the light yeah
I was just tryna shine bright
Tryna be the light
Tryna be the light yeah

I was just tryna shine bright
Shine bright
I hope, I hope I shine bright
For your dark times, here's some light

I'm tryna change lights with the mic
I'm tryna change lights by the night
I wanna change your life if you like
My words are here to stay that I write

I hope, I hope I shine bright
I hope, I hope I shine bright
If you don't see me later, you can use this for the ride
Just put one in the air if I don't make it home tonight

Just put one in the air if I don't make it home tonight, yeah
