| They see me shining and I’m popping
|
| But I came from the darkness
|
| They don’t know what I did to get up out of it
|
| Well you should know about it, yo
|
| So I’m a go to war never should’ve let us in
|
| Just a veteran with medicine like Excederin
|
| I see your life is all dead in sin
|
| So I drop a light just for the world like it’s Edison
|
| Let me in you looking cock eyed
|
| Ya two-face screw-face head-flopped lop-side
|
| I am an emcee with a pop side
|
| So all these years you think I did it for ya top five
|
| Nah I ain’t care who the hot guy
|
| Came with a hot line like way before Pac died
|
| I’m over here while ya walk by
|
| While I’m on point just like the tooth up in a shark bite
|
| I push a rhyme like a fast car
|
| And ran thru my bars like an alcoholic track star
|
| So when you bragging all on who you are
|
| Been there done that a t-shirt and a scar
|
| They see me shining and I’m popping
|
| But I came from the darkness
|
| They don’t know what I did to get up out of it
|
| Well you should know about it, yo
|
| Know what I’m trying to accomplish
|
| But all they ever did was doubt it
|
| But God got me through the nonsense
|
| You should know about it
|
| Imagine me letting the comments move me
|
| Imagine me letting the pressure from the game consume me
|
| When I been on blocks where they all would shoot me
|
| Yeah they got more bloods than a scary movie
|
| Little so and so from the suburbs
|
| Don’t try and rate what I’m doing with these nouns and verbs
|
| Just giving you my life story over these words
|
| Recollecting all the things that could’ve put me in the dirt
|
| Yeah I got plaques on plaques with racks on racks on racks
|
| But I would throw it all away for a convo with my Dad
|
| And tell him I forgive him for the times that he ran
|
| I finally understand what it takes to be a man
|
| I just tell it like it is and let God do the rest
|
| Don’t compare me to your favorite rapper he is not a threat
|
| I’d-a quit a long time ago if this was for a check
|
| I’m just trying to give life before I see my death. |
| it’s minor
|
| They see me shining and I’m popping
|
| But I came from the darkness
|
| They don’t know what I did to get up out of it
|
| Well you should know about it
|
| Know what I’m trying to accomplish
|
| But all they ever did was doubt it
|
| But God got me through the nonsense
|
| You should know about it
|
| You are the passenger see me just when I’m blasting it
|
| I’m a hold the mic like a baby in a bassinet
|
| I’m a hold the light kind of high I’m never passing it
|
| Now because of Christ I’m resurrected like I’m Lazarus
|
| I got them passionate rhymes for your mind kind of hazardous
|
| See a man came from Nazareth that they labeled average
|
| He was born with a star in the sky just like an asterisk
|
| He took the chains from you and I boom then he shattered it
|
| So sin is a labyrinth no hopes of getting out of it
|
| So man can you fathom it it sounds quite elaborate
|
| But there’s a rope and a ladder to pull you out of it
|
| Anyplace I can cope its no matter just how bad it get
|
| We all shattered battered broken down and sick
|
| Tattered heads ratted walk around like we out it
|
| Yet my Lord is coming back just to grab his kids
|
| And when He returns to the earth He’ll establish it
|
| They see me shining and I’m popping
|
| But I came from the darkness
|
| They don’t know what I did to get up out of it
|
| Well you should know about it
|
| Yo, Know what I’m trying to accomplish?
|
| But all they ever did was doubt it
|
| But God got me through the nonsense
|
| You should know about it, yo |
