royal fam
phil a-de
-clears throat- loosen up
uhh, yeah

verse 1
product of august ’88
to american immigrants
west african, west indian
different from inner city kids
grew up in suburbia, firming the christianity
followed the 10 commandments, we had to see church on sat-rday
i swear i was the worst, was singing solos in church
then rapping ’bout bad b-tches and lighting spliffs in the verse
i had the gift from my birth, but was always scared to use it
if the music wasn’t gospel then mom and papa would lose it, but
low and behold, 10 years after pop died
i fell in love, me and hip hop locked eyes
and n-ggas looked at me funny like they was c-ck-eyed
bet when they look at the money they gon’ cop right
but nah, ain’t nothin’ given or handed though
laziness got the antidote, moving swifter than antelope
and i quote what my n-gga stan told me in ’09
man, you doing something right, you got the light now let it shine
chorus
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine, cause
we living’ in a crazy world, but i’m still me
now put your lighters in the air if you feel me
this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
verse 2
it was like, “ehh, he ain’t good enough”
good enough looking hood enough
yeah he got some records but half i don’t think he put enough
opinionated n-ggas hating, they don’t see my foot enough
surrounded by these fools and high school b-tches i should have f-cked
who couldn’t envision the situations i been in
seen n-ggas get bitten
worked jobs that were dead end
moved to maryland in ’03, and couldn’t fit in
now you can’t show me a spot that i can’t get in
i remember i was rocking reeboks, thought i was k!lling ‘em
’til the all black barkleys had dropped, ooh i was feeling ‘em
so did them young’ns too, so easy as 1 and 2
i switched up the swag and my burners lifted a ton or two
just another trouble, just tried to avoid the snickering
when n-ggas didn’t like me ‘cause i was nike illiterate
now a n-gga k!lling sh-t, if you don’t feel him, fine
future albright, like madeleine you have to let him shine
chorus
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine, cause
we living’ in a crazy world, but i’m still me
now put your lighters in the air if you feel me
this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
verse 3
uhh, love me or hate me, i been this way since a baby
from jv and to the letterman, gentleman you see now
please, (shay?), maybe but lately i’ve had to save me from changing
into the artist who’s constantly (doobie dow?)
that ain’t my style, sometimes i wyle out a mile out
and barely got a yard like a townhouse
they told me wait for my time, it’s now
now let me see your phones and your lighters in the crowd
chorus
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
yeah, this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine, cause
we living’ in a crazy world, but i’m still me
now put your lighters in the air if you feel me
this light of mine, i promise you’ll never find, so i, i let it shine, i, i let it shine
