Once I Saw The Light Lyrics

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light

Yeah I saw the light once, and I still was just a boy

At first I felt fear, but then it turned to radiant joy

Yeah, it permeated, and then it alleviated

Bruh, I saw my death, no need to escape it

So I embrace it, that kid had to face it

Your past becomes your future now, so you can't erase it

I feel for that child, yes, he sacrificed a lot

But now I am he, and he's about to drop

It's been birthing pains from conception to arrival

It takes what it takes when it comes to survival

I've been living kinda fast, seeing blurs from my past

How I do it all and see it all in a flash?

No time to move slow, it's light speed around here

In the light, I saw my death, so imagine how I feel?

Maybe as if I have nothing now to live for

Or better yet, now I have something to die for

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light

Yes, the light has revealed everything I ever did

Saw the gold on my casket, and the hay in my crib

Yeah, I think that I'm living while the world has been expecting

A child of America, yet I'm still the son of Reddick

Yeah, there's three hundred people in that small country town

They call me Leonidas, yeah, I'm built for twelve rounds

Bruh, I've bunked in the slums, and I crawled through the mud

Learned winning is an illusion, so I do it just because

In the light, there's reflections but in the dark I reflected

Life is just a test you better learn from the lessons

I'm enrolled, who am I to drop out? I'm ready for the stage, graduation's right now

Ooh, yeah, and remember now I know what's next

I need to live it out, yeah, until that last breath

But when's my last breath? Is this my last breath?

If you don't know yours, then take a wild guess brother

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light

Have you ever felt now, like you had to live your life?

All that you've been through, is it more than wrongs and rights?

Yeah, there has to be a reason, and you might find out tonight

Yeah I found out myself, bruh, once I saw the light
