See the Light - Smif-N-Wessun

Love is pain, my momma showed me the way

The day she pushed me out her womb and told me nigga get paid

Stay focused when them obstacles, get in your way

Can’t let these opportunities keep gettin' away

It gets hard tryin' to juggle these responsibilities

But it’s a beautiful struggle, you can ask Kweli

After the rain falls, see the rainbow in the sky

Auntie passed, see the pain go away when she died

Youngin' looked me in the eyes, said he can’t even cry

Asked him why?

She in a better place now' he replied

Can’t be walking with my face down

Face frown fed up, Bob Marley told me get up

Pac said keep ya head up

Try or fail or fail or try, this ain’t about never falling

It’s about how ya rise

Can’t judge by the surface, it’s about what’s inside

You only reach a destination if you willing to ride

This ain’t no sad song rap or a track you relax on

This to help you stand strong while you getting your cash on

Ain’t no looking back now son, word we came mad far

Whoever said it’s easy living life as a rap star

You get knocked down, you get back up

You wanna live this lifestyle, you gotta be tough

The chips fall where they may so the bricks stack up

The number one rule of making it is never give up

Keep on
