[Intro: JT Kidd]
Yeah, you made it this far
You witness my pain and my story
But this right here, is only the beginning of a long journey
In case you didn't know by now, I'm JT Kidd
[Bridge]
This is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning
I don't even know but I'm winning
I said this is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning
I don't even know but I'm winning
(Let's Go!)
[Hook 1]
This was the lights for the New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for the New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for the New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for my New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for my New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for my New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for my New Beginning
Uh, This was the lights for my
This was the lights for my, Uh
This was the lights for the, New Beginning, Go!
[Verse 1]
When nobody ever believed (nope)
You shine the light when's that's all I need(yeah)
But thank God for you cause if it wasn't for you then I probably wouldn't be able to see
I was in another zone and threw on these beats
And just unleashed, upon the streets
Whoever thought that kid was weak, would rise up and become a king (uh huh)
It's cause of you, you gave me the throne
And made it known,that I came to own
It will be shown, when these lights are on
They keep me from turning to stone (Let's go!)
I feel it in my bones
Man, I'm close, I came from below
And now I have hope
Imma do things cause they said no, I need to prove them wrong, so I wrote this song(uh huh)
Never be stopped by what you can do, just be fueled on what you can't do
I overcame these obstacles, just know that you can too
What you get you don't want (want), and what you want you don't get (get)
And life has no remote, so I had to get up and change it
So shout out to Lucid (Lucid) Krazy (Krazy) and EM
Anyone going against my team, we beat them
It only takes one night to take your heart away (uh huh)
But it only takes one light to take the dark away (Thanks cause you show me the lights)
[Hook 2]
You shine the lights for me, You shine em bright for me
You shine the lights for me, You shine em bright for me
You shine the lights for me, You shine em bright for me
You shine the lights for me, You shine em bright for me
[Verse 2]
You kept it summer when I didn't want autumn
And the haters you turned the lights off on them
Through the rise and grind, you was by my side
You kept me alive, when I almost died
And I, can't repay that debt
I have a message, they don't respect it yet
Whether you do or you don't you never left
When it was dark, you shined these lights, now I'm feeling blessed
And I, was in the back of the cla** alone with a dream of making it
Right now, these haters never ever taking it
They ain't breaking it, they must be mistaken this
I am a small kid, with a big dream
With a small clique tryna be on big screens
Against rappers with small pa**ion and a big team, saying what they don't mean, and pretending like they know things
That is most of rap, the ones held down are spitting facts
They can't hold us down why can't they just get that
I wanna see, good MC's, on TV, not fake rappers depending on the beat
The real ones hustling tryna to sell on CD, these fake rappers wack what they're doing is easy
But I'm not a sellout, just give me a mic
And I'll spit what's real and give all of y'all the lights
[Hook 3]
I'll shine the light for you, I'll shine em bright for you
I'll shine the light for you, I'll shine em bright for you
I'll shine the light for you, I'll shine em bright for you
I'll shine the light for you, I'll shine em bright for you
