Streetlight Encore (Explicit)

I’m trying to be a light, can you see me shine, Pop?

I’m trying to work at night, when the street lights stop

Please God, let me feel the air again

My lungs were filled before I was carrying

All this stress, buried in, I digress, their the shit

I’m a mess, merry friends get the jest

Intense inertia’s inflicting me

I go between the poetry and never ending nos in me

Telling me I can’t be like HOV and these grown MCs

So I grow and reap the reward

But man I’m moping b, never think positive **** I just sink

Never be the optimist I used to be so

Now my brow is low like a mother ****ing negative degree

So I 3rd degree these trees with the boys up here

Trying to see clear like my lover’s eyes

Trying to be true like mother’s fear

Trying to make them see past their wallet size

Can’t you see the flowers through the weeds?

Can’t you see the sunshine through the trees?

Breathe

I promise you can find some diamonds hiding in these streets

Diamonds waiting to be mined and freed

I’mma be Sammy from Benny and June

Pretend like outside it’s June

The sun in my eyes and it’s noon time

And when the sun is concurred by the moon

I’mma dance like J-Low from 2002

Jenny from the Block in the back of my Honda

Hannah would be dancing in the front with my mama

I’d be grinning thinking I’m too damn cool

Nowadays life’s too proper, skip all the fun

Because people going to watch you and judge

Hoes ain’t Judy

Your sole duty shouldn’t be to hold that front bro, so truly

What you wanna do ho, stay cool or get groovy?

**** all the stares, like an elevator

Man, **** everybody like a slutty neighbor

Shine bright, like a light bright or Jedi night light lightsaber

Feel the joy, feel the pain

Life can make them both the same

Blessed, blessed I am surely, yes yes, everyday

Everyday that I remain alive is one I can’t complain

Though I do a lot (do a lot) maybe this will help me change

Let the naysayers stay, they don’t matter anyway

If you open your eyes you’ll truly be amazed

You’ll truly be amazed

You’ll truly be amazed

You’ll be amazed

Can’t you see the flowers through the weeds?

Can’t you see the sunshine through the trees?

Breathe

I promise you can find some diamonds hiding in these streets

Diamonds waiting to be mined and freed

I’m trying to be a light, can you see me shine, Pop?

I’m trying work at night, when the street lights stop
