john wells - the light lyrics

[verse 1: john wells]

starin’ at the light shinin’ on me
f-ck em if they lyin’ on me, i’m a
lion i ain’t dyin’ hungry
i wasn’t cryin’ when they told me i would
never walk again, i gotta
guard the spot i’m on i’m walkin’ through the lion’s den
i been a king
it’s kingpins that grew up where i grew up
and i grew up like i ain’t bout to die no time soon
it ain’t for me
and then i thought of suicide the first time at thirteen
now i’m seventeen and i’m just trying to tell the story right
cause it was h-lla lonely nights i saw pictures in my head
of somebody who n0body would love
i can’t find my best friends it’s voices in my head
and jeezy thinks he’s schizophrenic that shoe fits like a glove
my hands tied
i’m so tired of myself, so i started telling lies
my momma said that ain’t my son go put that mask up on the shelf
i wouldn’t listen, i ain’t right, i said i’m gonna k!ll myself
but lor luckee’s still alive
starin’ at the light shinin’ on me
everybody’s got a story
it’s two sides to every story
i ain’t god i ain’t the jury
who the f-ck am i to judge? i’m a sinner too!
shordy look at what this hateful world did to you!
cause i was lookin’ at my phone in english cl-ss today
scrolling through my pictures looking at the covers that i made
it’s two hearts on it
karlee drew one of them
but i wasn’t called on it
so i’m walking through the halls
like if they check me it better have six zeroes on it
i got ideas i’mma manifest
i lay to rest anyone who said i’m a weirdo
cause where the f-ck is they at?
everyone see’s i’m different from the most of y’all
and they still show respect
the light shinin’ on me!
i say what the f-ck is on my mind and people f-ck with it
one time me, rez, and que were talkin’ bout
gen y had came together for a reason
cause we never told each other we rapped
and that sh-t just happened back when we would
stay up every night and play black ops on playstation
then when summer started we dropped dopeboy after tone died
and people f-ck with it
and they really f-ck with us
and i said i probably would have k!lled myself without them!
they said they’re glad i didn’t cause my talent needs to be
shared with the world, and kayo said the same
and karlee said the same, and my momma said the same
cause how i think, and just think
i could have blown my brains out
i could have jumped head first off advanced auto parts
brains all over the pavement
so when they give me my payment
i should see a couple faces facing up and saying
“luckee, you the greatest!”
so i know that god kept me for a reason
cause i could think of all the bad i did like every night
it’s demons in my bed, and last night i slept with
the light shinin on me! so f-ck em if they lyin’ on me!

[interlude: “beautiful” by john wells plays]

[verse 1: john wells]

i showed the school your picture
they told me that it was beautiful
i showed the world your image
just want you to know that your beautiful

and i don’t need no approval on what i’m doin’
my daddy told me he don’t care if i smoke crack
and i don’t need no approval on what i’m sayin
sometimes i worry that i might go back

and it’s cracks in that dirt
and that light on that corner
it goes out when it’s late
when that light comes back on you’d be gone
and i don’t trust a soul

my g head got that tatted on his arm
if he took a walk in my shoes
then he would be at home
just like me

i showed the world your picture
took a minute to see exactly what it means
i showed the school your image

and they were focused on a message
you sent from your email telling me you love me
even though we can’t talk during the day
cause your school be trippin’
talkin’ bout no outside communication
popped up on the screen

[outro]

so i’m the man now

just want you to know that you’re beautiful
