I'm not gonna lie to you and act like everything gon' be alright
I'm not gonna lie to you and act like things don't work out overnight
But I hope you look past it and you keep on searching for the light
I hope you look past it and you keep on striving for your rights
You keep striving for your what you fought for all your damn life
Gotta move away from the fake ones who don't want you to move right
Gotta move away from the fake ones who don't push you towards that light
You not five anymore, I know you smart, just play your cards right
Never forget why you here, never forget the ones you do it for
Never forget the ones who doubt you, most importantly, never forget it
The light, never forget it
God, never forget the things inside you that make you sing along
Just take a breath and sit back, relax, and look at the shit you made
Now look at your bank account, look at the O's, and look at the money you made
Look at your nigga you owe, look him in the face and just pay
If my soul was a spirit, it would be flex, you know I got a lamp
My mind's so shifty, it's like rhyme, you know I got a lamp
Okay, no more praying, do you hear this
Cause I'm saying, do you hear the things I'm reaching for
The things that I'm striving for
The light that I want you to just keep on reaching for
