Light It Up Lyrics

I just wanted to say man

Your music is so inspirational

It's crazy man

Um through, through what a lot of people go through in life

Your music really brings the light out of-

Out of the dark if that makes sense

Um, you know

I think that anybody in the dark-

If they

I wish that your music was even more out there

Which it will be one day

Lost feeling of what having fun is

Left home and I moved to my aunt's crib

Cause I'm chasing my dreams not dollars

8 years I ain't seen the Impala security whipped down Eckford Road with dress code

T-shirts had to be collared

Old classmates hitting my phone now

Cause they see platforms I be on now

And I stood ten toes with character

Choose to do right and they try to embarrass you

Said I'm blessed and they said how I'm arrogant

Say that I'm stressed then they hear impaired

And I'm keeping the rest to myself

Cause I'm misunderstood every time I do start share

And last year they called me the light

This year I'm a star and this a new glare

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Now I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I be lighting it

Yeah

The way I'm working they would say it's overboard

You can't get to where I'm at doing normal shifts

Yeah I been working over for it

I really started when Taylor Swift got her first Kid's Choice Awards

I really do it for the people overlooked

Long breaks I can't afford

Nobody here where I'm from

I'll be the start of the run

Everyone round me gone eat like I'm fixing a plate

It's never a table for one

I gotta start being conscious of all that I speak

I know bout the power of tongue

I know they copy my moves like their favorite athlete

I see it when scrolling my thumb

And that's how I'm knowing

Now loyalty costing a leg and an arm

I planted the seeds through the rain

It was pouring

How dare you chalk it up to luck when I'm growing

The way I persevered and stayed through the storm

And lighting struck down day I was born

God really tried to issue a warning

I was cast out like I was a foreign

Now they all wanna hang like an ornament

Trying to link

The people that's cheering were hating this morning

Don't ask what I think

I got to the point I ain't seeing no limit

It's by any means

The tables go turning on you any moment

You better not blink

You better not blink

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Yeah yeah

They tried to hold me down

They tried to hold me down

Now I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I'm lighting it up

I be lighting it
