Light lyrics

[Intro: Big Sean]

Uh-huh, is it time?

[Verse 1: Big Sean]

Look, I spent my whole life tryna improvise

I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize

Spent my whole life tryna find the light that's at the end of the tunnel

I should have realized it was inside

So lately I been trying to get what's inside outside

So many people wanna see my insides outside

I'm from that city four hours east of Southside

Where everyone outside, but don't fuck with no outsiders

Going up, with the ones I hold it down with

Whole city got my back on some photobomb shit

Whole city blowing up on some old Saddam shit

Before this, I was the one hoes tried to go to prom with

[Refrain: Big Sean]

You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars

Now we gotta take the train, hood niggas takin' chains

Slavemaster take our names, 5-0 take the shot

And young souls take the blame, man but they can't take away

The light

[Chorus: Jeremih & Big Sean]

No matter how much they gon' shade you

No, man they can't fuck with the light

They can't stop the shine

They can't fuck with the light

Hell nah, the boy's that bright

Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

[Verse 2: Big Sean]

Got the whole city on fire

Boy, this the flow that got Steph Curry inspired

This the flow that got Lebron James finna rewire

This the flow that got my whole family finna retire

Flows on flows, I might drown in this bitch

Ye found a pro, I guess I'm profound in this bitch

My dad from Louisiana, man the smallest town

Where if they know you're brown, they might hold you down

And even hose you down, man

Since I'm his son, I feel like I gotta stunt hard

I took the hand that they gave me and played the Donald Trump card

And realized counting money never feel as good as counting blessings

And a loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon

[Refrain: Big Sean]

So when they take the fame, take the crib, take our cars

Now we gotta take the train, and hood niggas takin' chains

Slavemaster take our names, 5-0 take the shot

And young souls take the blame, man but they can't take away

The light

[Chorus: Jeremih & Big Sean]

No matter how much they gon' shade you

No, man they can't fuck with the light

They can't stop the shine

No, man they can't fuck with the light

Hell nah, the boy's that bright

Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light

No matter how much they gon' shade you

[Outro: Jeremih]

Don't let them take away your soul

No, no (No, no)

Don't let them take away what makes you whole
