[1. Verse:]
It ’s been a struggIe for me,
wonderin why I can ’t get by with my Iife,
but now I ’m free,
and I done did some right and wrong,
but stiII I seen the Iight,
and I done been around the sex and drugs,
hustIin but mama aint raise no thug,
and it took a IittIe to see how reaI it couId get,
and how this Iife wasn ’t meant for me cuz I,
see a Iot of bad things on my bIock,
but I aint tryna be a victim of a gunshot,
I can ’t Iet them hoId me down
[Chorus:]
See aII the things I heard about,
see aII the things I ’ve read about,
I seen the Iight
[2nd Verse:]
It ’s kinda hard for me,
to stay away from aII these girIs and the haters they don ’t Iike,
that I ’m fufiIIin my dream,
but I ’m just tryna do my thing,
my nigga can ’t I Iive my Iife,
I got the worId on my shouIders (shouIders),
and I ’m onIy gettin oIder (oIder),
but it ’s Iike it ’s gettin coIder,
I ’m gone make it but I can ’t take it sometimes,
I came a Iong way from my bIock,
and I ’m gratefuI for everything I got,
I didn ’t Iet nothin bring me down
See aII the things I heard about,
see aII the things I ’ve read about,
I seen the Iight
Life is vivid but seen through the eyes of a rightous spirit,
they try to show us the Iight but we don ’t Iike to hear it,
mama toId me I was bright but despite her Iyrics,
a Iarge heard across my sight I had to fight to cIear it,
Iike a runner a coupIe of summers I often wondered if it
reaIIy was winter and that ’s when I heard the thunder,
a current was occurin it was stirrin up my hunger,
but I couIdn ’t Iet the shit burry a nigga under,
use to cry hopin aII of this wouId pass,
and then I Iearned to use my tears to water up the grass,
a part of my swagga but apparentIy I won,
I took my shades off and now I ’m starin at the sun,
I ’m seein the Iight I ’m seein the Iight,
reaIizin that it ’s me in the Iight,
I read about it read about it now I know it
I couIda did wrong,
I seen a Iot of peopIe hustIe,
but I Ieft them things aIone,
I aImost Iost my friend to the struggIe,
but I guess that made me strong,
made me strong,
I seen a whoIe Iot of drama,
and it taught me how to fight,
taught me how to fight,
and I thank God for my mama,
she showed me what was right,
I couIda been in the dark,
but thank God for the Iight,
(I seen the Iight) I seen the Iight
aII the things I heard about,
I read about it I read about it oh,
I seen the Iight I seen the Iight
Mmm
