This little light shines bright now
Even in the room where they have the lights down
Even brighter than a light in a lighthouse
You're like past curfew when the light's out
I'm like past and the future and the right now
Attitude king always needed my crown
Even out the womb, brand new life now
More than what I write down, it's lifestyle
Either you stand up or lie down
Keep head above water or you might drown
Sink or swim, fade to black or fade to dim when the days are grim
Play to win, made for the ages
Not made for the weak, built for the bravest
From the most no-name to the most famous
Say shoot for the stars, watch where you're aiming

Here's something the others can't offer
Uncut and straight from the author
Untouched, escaped from the darkness
Escaped the land of the heartless
Some of those days were the hardest
The days with homies laid in the coffin
Caught by the hands of the law, and
Pour a little liquor out for all them
Never was a stroll in the park, when
You walk down the street past those apartments
Windows framed behind bars, it's no front lawn, no garden
Regardless, still had to put my all in
Answer, destiny's calling
Either fly high or keep falling
Either walk tall or keep crawling
Either go hard or keep stalling
Brawl till I got nothing left, it's all me
No carbon copy, I suggest
You're like yourself or like the rest
Life itself is life or death
A lifetime just to have overnight success
Till the AM, speakers going loud
Not done till I see the sun peak over the clouds
