[Verse 1] Now I ain't saying I was from the projects But I'm from the blocks where they mob at Where it was no jobs and they rob at Money was the only f**ing object You either a suspect or prospect You either get bussed at or pop back She either get bussed down or wifed up n***as get lifed up, behind the lockpads But enough of my background Let's speak more on my foreground Working on the tenth floor I swear that a n***a see more now I didn't wanna be part of the system But I couldn't find me a vision Well maybe Stevie Wonder can paint me a picture Abstract, haha Where the laughs at But really no pun is intended Cause since undergraduate ended Life ain't as hard as they mentioned But you will know, when you alone, what ya missing [Pre-Chorus] Now I stare out my window Where did my friends go Did you get the memo Slow down the tempo Is this real life Where's my fantasy Where's my little light Here's my little light [Chorus] This little light Let it shine, let it shine They say all this for me I say naw this for we This little light Let it shine, let it shine I did all this for you I'll give all this and more It's everything to we
So wherever you be For everyone to see [Verse 2] Now everybody asking me about the real life Do you really wanna know what it feel like Well I miss my fam mothers**er But I don't want my ma to ever pay a bill aight She retired so I'm making all her money back Working hard, staying single gotta double that So I ain't got time for these b**hes please Cause I swear thats where all of the trouble at Got big dough rolling through Told myself never let it take control of you I know rich folks that can fake like they happy But I know how it feels to be broke too So what the f** you expect of me Steady talking to myself is only stressing me Dark thoughts till it light like Edison Man I swear this can't be my only medicine But this here is just the beginning And life ain't as hard as they mentioned But having money and making it simple And when you spend, you will see what ya still missing [Pre-Chorus 2] Now I stare at a bank roll A few bills, and a car note Bumping that big poppa More money, more problems ho f** this real life Still gotta stack this cheese Still got a little light Share my little light [Chorus]
