Light

I'm walking down Yonge street
And my eyes are blood shot red
I know that they see me
But I see through them instead
They make money from assets
From salaries down to checks
Yeah we're livin in a rat race
But I wanna be by myself because
Even though this the world that we grew up in
I know the words I write on paper could make a difference
And this is to the people out there that is listening
In this life everything is earned, nothing is given
I've always wondered if I really could go the distance
Stand next to these giants with no pot to piss in
Cause I'm a product of abandonment and addiction
But watch this artist rise up and mess up system
You can take my time
But you're not gonna take away this light of mine
And you know imma let this motherfucker shine
And you can't stop me even if you try
Cause baby girl I started from behind
With nobody by my side
But I'm gonna take the lead now
Girl I'm not ignorant or dry
Oh baby I see ya
Don't gotta say much but
those eyes tells me all about ya
You've seen too much of this world
and with all that pressure
Don't ever let nobody here get the best of ya
Another day
Another one
They taking shots baby but I'm not the one
Do you really wanna know where I'm coming from
A little bit of weed mixed with heavy drums
An immigrant kid that was broken young
Had to go take it all and bite my tongue
But I found that spark now I'm on the run
On some Hamilton shit writing till it's done
You can take my time
But you're not gonna take away this light of mine
And you know imma let this motherfucker shine
And you can't stop me even if you try
Cause baby girl I started from behind
With nobody by my side
But I'm gonna take the lead now
You can drag my name
Across the dirt and say to them that I'm insane
I'm use to being isolated with my pain
So you can't put my flame out if you try
Cause baby girl I started from behind
With nobody by my side
But I'm gonna take the lead now
