Light My Way
Rising from the Ashes: Embracing Truth in a Cold World
Lyrics
Sometimes in life, it's too much to handle
Sometimes life becomes overwhelming.
So sit back and I'll light up a candle
Take a break and let me bring some light or comfort.
This life is too cold, it's only for the bold
Life can be harsh, suited for those who are daring.
But as for me? I will never fold, shits becoming too old
I won't give in; challenges are getting tiresome.
Cause hip-hop is dead, there's just no debate
Claiming that hip-hop has lost its vitality, not up for discussion.
Nowadays nobody ever tries to relate
People no longer try to connect or understand each other.
Rushing, as if it can't wait
Rushing through life without patience.
Bragging about money and bitches
Boasting about wealth and relationships insincerely.
Fake it on the road to riches
Pretending on the journey to success.
I can't complain but that's just not how I do it
I don't complain, I handle things differently.
I'm making my own path, I cut the bullshit
Carving my own path, cutting out unnecessary elements.
You see, they're fake as fuck, they selling you a lie
Others are fake, deceiving with false narratives.
Prancing around in some random shit just hoping that you would buy
Presenting a façade, hoping to deceive and sell.
But now what you see is what you get
Authenticity prevails now; what you see is real.
I make an impression, you can't forget
Leaving a lasting impression that cannot be ignored.
I know it's just the beginning
Recognizing that this is just the beginning.
Need forgiveness in this life of sinning
Seeking forgiveness in a life filled with wrongdoing.
You see it's ten toes down, you choose
Standing firm, the choice is yours.
I don't back down, said I don't lose
I never back down; I refuse to lose.
I'm on some psycho shit with a short fuse
Embracing a bold and intense approach.
Blacked out, woke up with blood on my shoes
Experiencing extreme situations, waking up with consequences.
It's not news, please don't get it confused
Not surprising, please don't misinterpret.
Just allow me to live my life, not abused
Let me live my life without mistreatment.
Best move that you get out of my way
Move aside; let me pursue my path.
It's only about me at the end of the day
At the end of the day, it's all about me.
So you can sit back and watch, because I came to class with the answers
Observe as I bring knowledge, armed with solutions.
Cause to me y'all ain't nothing but cancers
Viewing others as negative influences, like cancer.
Do this, do that but you ain't pulling weight
Issuing commands but not contributing.
Tough talking, but you don't even create
Talking tough without creating anything.
You see everytime shit hits the fan
When problems arise, they turn to me for help.
They too quick, they asking me for a hand
Quick to ask, but quick to leave when roles are reversed.
But you flip the script they leaving quicker than quicksand
Changing the narrative; they disappear like quicksand.
Now my the phones off, they can pick up a newsletter
My phone is off; now they can read a newsletter.
Shit, I'm doing me, yeah I'm doing better
Focusing on myself, improving and thriving.
I complete the vision, the chosen one has risen
Fulfilling the vision, being the chosen one who rises.
Toe to toe it's easy to see who isn't
Face to face, it's evident who lacks authenticity.
This life is too cold it's only for the bold
Life remains challenging, meant for the brave.
But I'm immovable and I will never fold
I'm unyielding and won't succumb to pressure.
You see it's ten toes down, you choose
Standing firm, the choice is yours.
I don't back down, said I don't lose
I never back down; I refuse to lose.
I'm on some psycho shit with a short fuse
Embracing a bold and intense approach.
Blacked out, woke up with blood on my shoes
Experiencing extreme situations, waking up with consequences.
It's not news, please don't get it confused
Not surprising, please don't misinterpret.
Just allow me to live my life, not abused
Let me live my life without mistreatment.
