Street Lights ft. Andre Loot Lyrics

Yo yo

Yo yo

Yo yo

Yo yo

We gon' get this paper that's right

We gon' get this paper that's right

I'm from where some dudes accept life, then pray for repentance

While others did alot of talking tryna run on they sentence

From them trenches, still was lucky, both parents to guide me

They always tried to go and shield me from that world but there was too much to hide me

From, young, dumb with a gun and a dean scholarship

Walking into class, with a bag of clean hollow tips

2 stabs, and alone, for stupid shit we did

Ghetto Genius, A+ student with stick up kids

What separates from my peers, was always clear, was meant for more than that

It's more than rap; not tryna meet my maker where the snorters at

Not quarterbacks, still they throwing bullets in the field

The commissioner don't care, they tell the cops protect the shield

I never yield, my fate is sealed, so on the real, I never falter

Couldn't marry to a life I couldn't alter

Had to leave it at the altar

They say you see it all before you go

So make something worth the view, before you do, you never know

And we gon' get this paper, that's right

We gon', shine, sublime, we just might

Time don't wait, days go, then come night

With them street lights

Them street lights. Them street lights (Street lights)

We gon' get this paper, that's right

We gon', shine, sublime, we just might

Time don't wait, days go, then come night

With them street lights

Them street lights, the street lights

We gon' get this paper, that's right

I'll make sure this thing, go alright

I just gotta beat the street lights

I think alot about what Kiss said, how "we gon' make it"

How success it feel so hollow knowing some ain't make it

How I'll never get to finish with the people that I started with

Ones that's still around say, "hold ya head and keep in ya heart in it"

I feel like they don't listen; or comprehend what's missing

Not a genie, or a God, could grant the things, that I been wishing

Or envisioned. This money paw; guess life comes with a price

Every step as you move forward gotta come with sacrifice

I couldn't make up, under this mask, my mind racing

Building from a broken home, I'm still laying my foundation

Read my lips, can't gloss over, all the things that I'm feeling

To make it appealing, I keep to myself. There's alot I'm concealing

I shadowed, the darkest path, hoping it's the fastest

Sacrifice for all my people, can't kill me with 40 lashes

Now they praise me? Don't make me blush, roses got thorns with it

They asked "how'd he get these scars?" Shit maybe he born with it

But we gon' get this paper, that's right

We gon', shine, sublime, we just might

Time don't wait, days go, then come night

With them street lights

Them street lights, the street lights
