seen the light

it's been a struggle for me

wonderin why i can't get by with my life

but now i'm free

and i done did some right and wrong

but still i seen the light

and i done been around the sex and drugs

hustlin but mama aint raise no thug

and it took a little to see how real it could get

and how this life wasn't meant for me cuz i

see a lot of bad things on my block

but i aint tryna be a victim of a gunshot

i can't let them hold me down

see all the things i heard about

see all the things i've read about

i seen the light

it's kinda hard for me

to stay away from all these girls and the haters they don't like

that i'm fufillin my dream

but i'm just tryna do my thing

my nigga can't i live my life

i got the world on my shoulders

and i'm only gettin older

but it's like it's gettin colder

i'm gone make it but i can't take it sometimes

i came a long way from my block

and i'm grateful for everything i got

i didn't let nothin bring me down

see all the things i heard about

see all the things i've read about

i seen the light

life is vivid but seen through the eyes of a rightous spirit

they try to show us the light but we don't like to hear it

mama told me i was bright but despite her lyrics

a large heard across my sight i had to fight to clear it

like a runner a couple of summers i often wondered if it

really was winter and that's when i heard the thunder

a current was occurin it was stirrin up my hunger

but i couldn't let the shit burry a nigga under

use to cry hopin all of this would pass

and then i learned to use my tears to water up the grass

a part of my swagga but apparently i won

i took my shades off and now i'm starin at the sun

i'm seein the light i'm seein the light

realizin that it's me in the light

i read about it read about it now i know it

i coulda did wrong

i seen a lot of people hustle

but i left them things alone

i almost lost my friend to the struggle

but i guess that made me strong

made me strong

i seen a whole lot 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 coulda been in the dark

but thank god for the light

i seen the light

all the things i heard about

i read about it i read about it oh

i seen the light i seen the light

mmm
