Adian Coker - Lightyears lyrics

[Verse 1] Visions of living great, liberty over fate Tryna keep my head above water lest I suffocate f** all these consequences; take all the luck I make All this food for thought got me praying I don't drop the plate My mind over matter, Mind no matter to foes Give my opponents calluses I keep ‘em on their toes Always move with the squadron, day or night keep it moving Plus my whole team tinted, haters don't get a look in Living fast, dying young, that's the motto where I'm from When in doubt, make it count, do it how it should be done Feeling like I'm Simon, they do it because I said it These haters tryna cash in just so they can get some credit But my mother raised me well, these streets made me able Been the man of the house since I grew out of my cradle If we ever disagree we settle it at the table Cause shouting'll leave you horse and have you looking unstable And like 2,3,5 I'm still in my prime So when they asking what's the wait, I'm like all in good time And when that money gets to coming, and these vultures get to running Then I swear to God I could be changing my mind Though I'm still tryna make strides like everywhere I tread So if I say cheese know we bring in more bread My mother always told me to keep a level head So my girls period's the only time I see red [Hook] If you see me on the grind ain't no telling where I've been Roaming around town, I got nothing but a dream All my people dream big so we do it for the team I got money on mind, you should know just what I mean When we talking ‘bout Lightyears Know we'll be living right here It ain't gonna take Lightyears Before we doing alright yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah [Verse 2] I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone to November Hope i'm coming back colder than the weather in December But these, bright lights, make it hard to remember Why I'm all around the world strumming chords on my fender Still in search of that treasure chest, ball ‘till there's nothing left Only fools self-destruct, wise ones chase their d**hs When I started rapping that's the day I started saying less Treat my words like currency ain't it right that I save my breath And with success some relationships sour n******gs start throwing sh**, I stay smelling like flowers But still my single focus is what this money endowers I'm dreaming of foreign models and champagne showers But still in search of all the glitz there ain't no glamour I saw a few old friends on an old camera, thinking Cause nowadays the company I keep just don't have the same presence My god I miss the old Santa And this game is like going to battle and try as hard as you may sometimes it has to unravel I can never be judged as hard as you hit the gavel I'm trying to go the distance the greatest have all travelled But you can't see it all by taking a few glances All the information don't leave you with all the answers And even if they hate, they really just hate to love it They can never pull me under, forever we rise above it [Hook] If you see me on the grind ain't no telling where I've been Roaming around town, I got nothing but a dream All my people dream big so we do it for the team I got money on mind, you should know just what I mean When we talking ‘bout Lightyears Know we'll be living right here It ain't gonna take Lightyears Before we doing alright yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
