[Intro]
Yeah, wait
Yeah (Hit-Boy)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Hoe, stop
Ah, ooh-woah, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh-woah, ah
[Chorus]
Let me tell you 'bout the light and the darkness
When you love, when you sleep on the park bench (Yeah)
When you jump in the action and end up crashin' and you don't even think of precautions
Now I, know I have my man, he sent for way
sh*t is fire, that's what candle say
Do you love me or my pencil play?
'Cause it make hits that pay your rent today (Uh-huh)
Stressin' out so cannot vent today
On the road for quite and left today
Cop a whip so fast it's meant to race
And the windows know it's tinted, yeah
[Verse]
Runnin' 'round the town and these villains want my crown
And my ceiling so high, in the sky or the ground
Tryna kill 'em, tryna effect but I found penicillin
And I gotta perfect, fifty rhymes, I'ma send 'em
My enemies won't be the end of me
Stayin' one hunnid like a century
I know we play it like how it's meant to be
So why I'm stressin' over [?] peace?
'Cause, uh, I was down and out and I was all alone, uh
No one left, no one called the phone
'Cause, uh, know times is hard but it's gettin' better, uh
I know one day we gon' be rich forever
'Cause I know that things lookin' bad (Bad)
I was down and out on my ass but I'm never goin' out sad, no
Huh
I cherish times that we've had (Had)
Even growin' up with no dad (No dad)
We still get to the bag, woah, woah
But I know in my dreams we're fallin' down, down, down (Hit-Boy)
And I've seen things is comin' all around, around, around
Uh, 'cause I stayed down on my bad times
Uh, then we stayed great on the sad times
Uh, when I was to last dime, yeah
I ain't never kicked a bad rhyme
'Cause I've seen the rose gold and the diamond rings
Five stars, yeah, the finer things
But that ain't sh*t when you climb and dreams
And all the work that's behind the scene
Experience and lessons learned, it's gold
Hear the story that my verses told
Not bein' satisfied to hurt your goals
Bein' janky that'll hurt your soul
[Chorus]
Let me tell you 'bout the light and the darkness (Uh)
When you love, when you sleep on the park bench (Uh)
When you jump in the action and end up crashin' and you don't even think of precautions
Now I, know I have my man, he sent for way
sh*t is fire, that's what candle say
Do you love me or my pencil play?
'Cause it make hits that pay your rent today (Uh-huh)
Stressin' out so cannot vent today
On the road for quite and left today
Cop a whip so fast it's meant to race
And the windows know it's tinted, yeah
