The Light |
I’m coming home |
The night is young |
Oh, shine your light |
For me when I’m out in the streets |
Ends justify means when you making a meet |
When you losing the sleep that you saying you need |
But what good is rest when it’s family to feed |
When it’s money to get when it’s dollars to count |
Fuck a job, you never raised for larger amounts |
Keep the lights on, front door locked |
'Cause the villains in the wilderness, lotta George Zimmermans |
Damned with some innocence |
So that mean he still out on the prowl for a black child |
While the judge and jury crack smile, Lord |
Keep the lights burning |
Oh, I’m coming home |
I’m coming home |
The road is long |
The night is young |
The night is young |
Somewhere in America |
Say, say your prayers, shine your light |
For me |
For me when I’m out on the creep |
Do whatever to get a meal when you barely can eat |
I’m determined to fight the power to further the peace |
Mama scared the police might make a point out of me |
'Cause it’s hard to sleep living life in a daze |
When kings wanna be niggas, I hope it’s phase |
Queens down to be hoes as long as they paid |
Chained to our oppressor we slaves |
Who wants to be saved |
When they claim that the prayers that we pray go unheard |
In these God-forgotten days, just in case |
Keep the lights burning |
Oh, I’m coming home |
I’m coming home |
The road is long |
The night is young |
The night is young |
Somewhere in America |
Say, say your prayers, shine your light |
For me |
For me when I barely can smile |
And the sun refuse to shine when I’m out in the wild |
And the raindrops tap the window pane on my room |
Scared I lost faith, pray I find God soon |
In a world full of alt-rights I was left field |
Black man born poor, I was black steel |
Black man born free, this how blessed feel |
Because my dreams are dreams, don’t make them less real |
Nightmares are still the same thing |
I’ve fallen from grace, wishing I had wings |
Like a dunk in the Summer but I ain’t had Spring |
'Cause all that running from trouble’ll give you bad knees |
Now how can I make a move without a play |
I got freedom of speech but with nothing to say |
'Cause all that working for something but they barely can pay |
What the glimmer of Heaven giving me every day |
So I wade in the water |
Filled with the sharks, snakes, gators, and piranhas |
Till the higher, higher ground of the mountaintop |
Away from the shooters that’s down for shooting to take a shot |
'Cause they believe in everything they ever heard |
From the bigots and racists that twisting every word |
So, a hotel balcony could be the end |
Or a podium speaking to family and friends |
So won’t you keep that light, light, light |
Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me |
So won’t you keep that light, light, light |
Keep that light, light, light, light burning for me |
I’m coming home |
The road is long |
The night is young |
The night is young |
Somewhere in America |
Say, say your prayers, shine your light |
Say your prayers, shine your light |
Shine your light |
For me… |
