hook
JUST SHINE A LIGHT ON ME/
SHINE A LIGHT/


verse 1
ALL OF MY LIFE/

I BEEN IN THESE SHADOWS/

HEAD DOWN IN THE BACK ROW/


BIG DREAMS/
WHERE DID THAT GO/


NO PACKED SHOWS/
& NO CASH FLOW/


I CAME CLOSE/
WELL CLOSER THAN MANY/

NOW I'M PUNCHIN THE CLOCK/
PINCHIN PENNYS/


AND THE ONLY STEAK ON MY PLATE IS AT DENNYS/
GOTTA A CHEVY BUT IM BOUT TO THE SELL THE TWENTIES/


AS I SIT HERE SIPPIN ON MY TAP WATER/
REMINISCING ON REGRETS/
LIKE A BAD FATHER/

THINKIN BOUT WHAT I OUGHT TO DO/
SHOULDA NEVER QUIT SCHOOL/
WHAT A DAMN FOOL/


I LET MY POPS DOWN/
WHEN MY GRADES DROPPED/

MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN/
LIKE RAIN DROPS/


SHOULDA AIMED FOR THE TOP/
BUT I DIDNT EVEN TRY/
KINDA LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE/





verse 2

WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG/

HAD SO MUCH PROMISE/
SMART KID/
COULDA BEEN WHAT I WANTED/


BUT I LET MY FEARS GET THE BEST OF ME/
LET EM GET IN THE WAY OF MY DESTINY/


BLEW SO MANY CHANCES/
U PROLLY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS/


HOW A PERSON COULD PANIC/
DEPRESSION SO MANIC/ SO MANIC?/


I AVOID SO MUCH/WHAT IVE DONE IS A BLESSIN/
STANDIN ON STAGE/ THAT'S CRAY/

I'MA MESS MAN/

FOLKZ TALK !#@(/SAY THAT I'M QUIET/

HE WOULDN'T EVEN RAP LIVE ON THE MIC MAN/
BUT I'M TRYIN/
TO GET PAST MY ISSUES/

MOST PEOPLE JUST SAY/
I DONT GET U/


WRITE ME OFF/
LIKE A BUSINESS TAX


SAY THAT I'M LAME/
& JUST WALK RIGHT PAST/



breakdown
In every speck of dust
In every universe
When you feel most alone

You will not be alone
Just shine a light on me, shine a light


verse 3

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE/
THAT LIGHT AINT SHININ/

LIKE IT'S ONLY DARKNESS /
THEN I LOOK AROUND/

& FEEL HEARTLESS/

cuz I'M BLESSED/
MAN/
I GOT SO MUCH LUV/


I CANT BELIEVE THAT I PUT THIS ABOVE/
MY FAMILY/
PUSHIN EM TO THE POINT THEY CANT STAND ME/
ALWAYS WORKIN/
IN THE LAB ALL DAY/

WITH NO PURPOSE/

JUST HOPIN FOR FAME/
PEOPLE I DONT KNOW
SCREAMIN OUT MY NAME/
ALL of THE THANGS/
I DONT NEED 2 OBTAIN/

I'M FINALLY GROUNDED LIKE BROKE DOWN PLANES/
THINK I FOUND MY LANE/

BUT I'M STILL GONNA DO MY THANG/
JUST SWITCHED UP/
LIKE LOWRIDERS/
RHYMES GONNA GET A BIT REALER/

AINT SELLIN MY SOUL LIKE GHOST RIDER/
