Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to have hoop dreams.
When I lived on 98th
Elmhurst middle school I had a low cut fade. Saving my lunch money for the new pair of Js. I just wanted something fresh. My style needed to change.
I stood out.
Couldn’t help it
I wasn’t regular
My grades didn’t reflect my true intelegence
My attitude didn’t reflect my true character
I was broke. Deep inside I didn’t care enough.
Teacher speaking mean while I’m day dreaming.
Head down in the back of the class.
Contemplated dropping out.
Many times
But I promised my dad.
Got Accepted into college
same week that he passed.
Dealing with emotions trying to fight this feeling
Had to get up off my told my self let’s get it.
Execute be consistent.
Create ya lane it’s yo vision.
Don’t let em dictate ya feelings
A black man on a mission
Chorus
I feel the light oh yeah
Shining bright on me.
I’m in position right here where I wanna be.
I know they doubting but they going see.
Run it up I got the bag on me
I feel the light oh yeah
Shining bright on me.
I’m in position right here where I wanna be.
I know they doubting but they going see.
Run it up I got the bag on me
Verse 2
I been laying low for a minute trying to get things right
It’s Easy blinded by the cameras & lights
I ain’t never cared about views and likes
Forget the internet im that dude in real life
They been taking me lightly
Cause my neck ain’t froZe
And my teeth ain’t icey
Cause I don’t show guns they think they can try me.
Keep my wrist on glow cause it’s all about time
Bags under my eyes lids.
I been at it for weeks
I’m Formulating a plan right now as speak.
Down to risk it all without no hesitation.
To see my moma smile and all my brothers make it. Big dreams but ain’t nobody out chasing. Years past and they wonder why they never made it.
Same song same song it’s the same song.
Wanna throw me off set watch me takeoff.
Chorus
I feel the light oh yeah
Shining bright on me.
I’m in position right here where I wanna be.
I know they doubting but they going see.
Run it up I got the bag on me
I feel the light oh yeah
Shining bright on me.
I’m in position right here where I wanna be.
I know they doubting but they going see.
Run it up I got the bag on me
