Matik - A Little Brighter lyrics

[Verse 1: Smiles Again] Tryna find a point to start this Spent the first half of my twenties getting retarded Ordered up a jug no I don't need to many gla**es Now my vision blurred and I could use somebody's gla**es Oh, oh lord where the hell did all my friends go Guess they got a job that would guarantee some income While I watch these weeks go and fly right out my window When did things get so opposite of simple I'm not sure is it in my heart is it in my mind Is it in my past or is it in disguise This the result of a kid who believed them When they said that you can be anything you like man I hope I prove 'em right With this mic in the palm of my hand Since day one it's been part of the plan Then in addition somewhere along the mission I finally found some initials to go and write in the heart that I calved in the sand But it's a cold world out the mic booth I know That's why we warm with oil and coal And we know that we shouldn't but pride mixed with stubbornness Seems to be our recipe for government And why the f** are there threats of nuclear warheads I really think the world leaders could do with some more head It's sh** like that that make me want to stay inside my bubble So I don't have to taste this f**ing food that we force-fed [Pre-Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I] Fire flies, fire flies they all set the night alight Somehow I'm surrounded by millions of them every night Fire flies, fire flies even at the highest heights We can get ‘em, get ‘em all, we can get ‘em, get ‘em all [Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I] When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's A little brighter, a little brighter When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's A little brighter, a little brighter [Verse 2: Chance Waters] You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern We can pull the wool over your eyes inside the sand storm We can be the thread of hope that guides you through the pattern We won't ever let you go but live life with abandon If it's your wish we'll be your lamp or your Aladdin If you ever need to ring us we can be your Saturn If you need a shoulder then we'll even throw our hands in We could tell you everything if you could understand it There's a certain kind of method to the madness Certain kind of kind of theft in when you take something for granted Certainties what's left there when you play it how you planned it Finding out that everything's the only thing that matters You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern But-but we could be your lantern, but-but we could be your lantern [Pre-Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I] Fire flies, fire flies they all set the night alight Somehow I'm surrounded by millions of them every night Fire flies, fire flies even at the highest heights We can get ‘em, get ‘em all, we can get ‘em, get ‘em all [Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I] When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's A little brighter, a little brighter When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's A little brighter, a little brighter [Verse 3: Willow] I just want to let you know what I believe in this evening Equality no children in the streets where they're sleeping All because some companies are greedy and they thieving What be the key ingredient the media's deceiving But people still believe it, I see through all B.S Caged in the week and then some freedom in the weekend Doesn't really seem to quite fly with my kind I'd rather brighten up your world and write rhymes in tie-dye Yo, I am so Sci-Fi I take it to the skyline Lucid dreaming through the binary at night time When I meditate ‘cause I can find it in the darkness Through amplified energy that light up all my chakra's Yeah so true, rest in peace Osho And any other leader that was trying to expose you To a new perspective on everything we go through Reaching for enlightenment then taking it global And Hiroshima is a souvenir from Them power hungry government's with nuclear bombs You can't undo what is done but we are poisoning the planet Through decisions that we've made and the choices that we haven't Now our food is not organic so catch up with the plan That make me sick ‘cause pharmaceutical d** are a scam Take the money out your hand we swap it for their medicine But I just want the world to know that nature heals everything [Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I] When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's A little brighter, a little brighter When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's A little brighter, a little brighter
