Is it time?
Look, I spent my whole life trying to improvise
I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize
Spent my whole life trying to find what'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
Growing 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
You know, take the fame, take the crib
Take our cars, now we gotta take the train
Hood niggas takin' chains, slave master take our names
5-0 take the shot, young souls take the blame
Man but they can't take away the light
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
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 brown, they might hold you down
And even hose you down, man
Since I'm a 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
So when they take the fame, take the crib
Take our cars, now we gotta take the train
Hood niggas takin' chains, slave master take our names
5-0 take the shot and young souls take the blame
Man, but they can't take away the light
No matter how much they gon' shade you (nah)
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
Don't let them take away your soul (no, no)
Don't let them take away what makes you whole
