Always Knew

Yeah, this right here is dedicated to my family, my friends, my lady, everbody that helped me down through the highs and lows
Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
Especially the Lord , you know what I mean
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You held a bright light in my life, you feel me?
Yeah, ayy
Shine a light on me
Learned a lot over these last few years
Industry people aint friends, just peers
I learned that these girls easy like the morning of a Sunday
They dont love you til you gone like Harambe
Still killin over colors, now its black and blue
We dyin every day, B, we just dont make the news
When you speak out for your race, just watch
They gon twist and say you hate these cops
Ima take these shots
How can he love Jesus, Kanye, and K-Dot?
Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer, Mitsubishi, and Maybach?
Contradictory, nah , its complimentary
Understanding me aint for the simple and elementary, oh
I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed
Could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
Cause you playin back the words that I said
I cant believe we made it through
My momma said she aint surprised, told me that she always knew
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew
I told my lady, 'I aint never met nobody like you'
I thank you
Now I remember, uh, I was sittin in my room
Glued to my television dailyafter school
And I never saw me goin to college
Higher learning was a different world, I can acknowledge
I used to imagine me in a black Range
Gettin paid from doin this lil rap thing
And now Im payin these professors couple thousand for a lesson
Graduated, in recession, Sallie Mae just wanna check in, Im stressin
Rap music, it was all a dream
Now Im in a session chasin my dream
Who would have knew? Man, its crazy
S1 introduced me to JAY-Z
Never met my dad, but I met the music that raised me
I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed
Could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
Cause you playin back the words that I said
Thats crazy
I cant believe we made it through
My momma said she aint surprised, told me that she always knew
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew
I told my lady, 'I aint never met nobody like you'
I thank you
Listen, I know God did it, cant take the credit
Paid off all of my debts, but I still feel so indebted
Been all over the world with these songs I wrote
My life story oughta to give yall hope
Without a doubt Ive been doubted and counted out
Ive been down from the count, about to quit
Momma told me keep going cause I was made for this
I either get a scholarship or I could get a hit
I still cant believe I made it here
I cant believe we made it through
My momma said she aint surprised, told me that she always knew
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew
I told my lady, 'I aint never met nobody like you'
I thank you
Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
Yeah, ayy
Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
Yeah, man
