[Intro: Rico Love]
Yo, uh, just feel real good right here man
It's a good look, sugar bear, it's love
Young Chris, Gucci what's up? From the streets of VA
Talk to the whole world man, ghetto America, uh, talk to 'em man
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
It's been a struggle for me, wondering why I can't get by with my life
But now I'm free and I done did some right and wrong but still I seen the light
And I done been around the s** and d**, hustling but mama ain't raise no thug
And it took a little to see how real it could get and how this life wasn't meant for me cause I
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Seen a lot of bad things on my block, but I ain't wanna be a victim of a gunshot
I can't let nothing hold me down
[Chorus]
See all the things I heard about
See all the things I've read about, I seen the light
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
It's kinda hard for me, to stay away from all these girls and the haters they don't like
That I'm fulfilling my dream, but I'm just tryna do my thing, my n***a can't I live my life?
I got the world on my shoulders and I'm only getting older, but it's like I'm getting colder
I'm gon' make it but I can't take it sometimes
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
I came a long way from my block and I'm grateful for everything I got
I didn't let nothing bring me down
[Chorus]
See all the things I heard about
See all the things I've read about, I seen the light
[Bridge: Chris Brown]
Wow, huh man after all this, who woulda thought? Little boy from Tappahannock, Virginia
Y'all know what I'm saying? Would make it all the way to the top
[Verse 3: Rico Love]
Life is vivid but seen through the eyes of a righteous spirit
They try to show us the light but we don't like to hear it
Mama told me I was bright but despite her lyrics
A large heard across my sight, I had to fight to clear it
Like a runner a couple of summers, I often wondered if it
Really was winter and that's when I heard the thunder
A current was occurring, it was stirring up my hinger
But I couldn't let the sh** bury a n***a under
Used to cry hoping all of this would pa**
And then I learned to use my tears to water up the gra**
A part of my swag but apparently I won
Cause I took my shades off and now I'm staring at the sun
I'm seeing the light, I'm seeing the light
Realising that it's me in the light
I read about it, read about it
Heard about it, now I know about it
[Verse 4: Chris Brown]
I could did wrong, I seen a lot of people hustle
But I left them things alone
I almost lost my friend to the struggle
But I guess that made me strong, made me strong
I seen a whole lot of drama and it taught me how to fight, taught me how to fight
And I thank God for my mama, she showed me what was right
I coulda been in the dark, but thank God for the light
I seen the light, I seen the light
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
All the things I heard about, I read about it, I read about it oh
I seen the light, I seen the light
