Yeah, this right here is dedicated to My family, my friends, my lady, everybody that held me down (Shine a light on me, shine a light on me) especially the Lord, you know what I mean Shine a light on me, shine a light on me Y'all a bright light in my life, you feel me? (yeah yeah, ay) Shine a light on me Learned a lot over the last few years Industry people ain't friends, just peers I learned that these girls is easy like the morning of a Sunday They don't love you until you gone like Harambe Still killing over colors, now it's black and blue We dyin' every day, B, we just don't make the news When you speak up for your race just watch They gon' twist and say you hate these cops, I'ma take these shots How can he love Jesus, Kanye, and K Dot? Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer, Mitsubishi, and Maybach? Contradictory, nah, it's complimentary Understanding me ain't for the simple and elementary Oh, I know this might go over some heads But I come from being government fed, could be running from feds But now I give the government bread 'Cause you playing back the words that I said, that's crazy I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you) I thank you Now I remember, uh, I was sittin' in my room Glued to my television daily after school And I never saw me going to college Higher learning was a different world, I can acknowledge I used to imagine being in a black Range Gettin' paid from doin' this little rap thing And now I'm paying these professors couple thousand for a lesson Graduated in recession, Sally Mae just want a check and I'm stressin' Rap music, it was all a dream Now I'm in a session chasin' my dreams Who woulda knew man, it's crazy S1 introduced me to Jay-Z, never met my dad but I met the music that raised me I know this might go over some heads But I come from being government fed, could be running from feds But now I give the government bread 'Cause you playing back the words that I said, that's crazy I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you) I thank you Listen, I know God did it, can't take the credit Paid off all of my debts but I still feel so indebted Been all over the world with these songs I wrote My life story oughta give y'all hope Without a doubt I've been doubted and counted out I've been down for the count, about to quit Mama told me keep going, 'cause I was made for this I either get a scholarship or I could get a hit I still can't believe I made it here I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah) I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you) I thank you Shine a light on me, shine a light on me Shine a light on me, shine a light on me Yeah yeah, ay Shine a light on me, shine a light on me Shine a light on me, shine a light on me
