Losing Light Lyrics

Yeah

Uh

Before niggas even know it, they're in a circuit

And that circuit keeps the lights on

I remember my aunt once told me that

Everything we're doing now

She had done back in her day

And that there was nothing new under the sun

So all that told me was that I have to break the circuit

To this artificial light

Graduated and his whole family's glad he made it

First one to do it

Man, who knew it?

Congratulations

But the celebrating ends fast

Baby on the way with his lady and they gon' need cash

He's applying, doing interviews

But he never seems to hears good news (Nuh uh)

Surviving off his girl's income

Baby due

She's carrying the weight in more ways than one

He's got a ton on his plate and he needs to make some scratch

But it's 10 times worse with his lady on his back

Always saying that if she can do it, he can

She starts to think of him as less of a man

Damn

So he's doing what he has to do

Serving dime bags to you

Tryna move up the chain

Until he's way too deep in the game

Now he's got a couple charges on his record

And a 9 to 5 job is out of the question

Strike one, strike two, strike three

Cops busted in and took him right in front of the baby

All through the night

I can see stars lose their light (Waiting on the son to come up)

Before morn, I pray for a better day

But this the way it's always been and it'll never change

(Waiting on the son to come up)

All through the night

I can see stars lose their light (Waiting on the son to come up)

Before morn, I pray for a better day

But this the way it's always been and it'll never change

(Waiting on the son to come up)

He left his old lady on the outside

Working two jobs, tryna provide for they child

And things ain't getting easier

Cus little man is struggling now from the lack of seeing her

His grades are getting worse and he may repeat

With nobody to keep him out these streets

Growing up in the ghetto with its influences

Looking for someone to look up to no matter who it is

Mommy can't afford new sneakers, his are busted in

So he takes it upon himself and gets to hustling

He's just trying to find some self worth

'Cause on the inside, he's lonely and hurt

So when the school does a random search with the dogs

Sniffing out the lockers lined up in the halls

He calls his mom from the station with the story

But he can't say a thing except sorry

For losing light

All through the night

I can see stars lose their light (Waiting on the son to come up)

Before morn, I pray for a better day

But this the way it's always been and it'll never change

(Waiting on the son to come up)

All through the night

I can see stars lose their light (Waiting on the son to come up)

Before morn, I pray for a better day

But this the way it's always been and it'll never change

(Waiting on the son to come up)

I remember back in the day

Our mother used to wake us up real early

On a Sunday morning for church

Put us in these stiff clothes we ain't wanna wear

But Praise & Worship in the beginning made it worth it

It would sound a little something like this

It would go

Oh, my friends

I'll never worry again

I saw the end tonight

In a shining light (Light)

Oh, my friends

I'll never worry again

I saw the end tonight

In a shining light

Oh, my friends

I'll never worry again

I saw the end tonight

In a shining light (Light)

Oh, my friends

I'll never worry again

I saw God tonight

In a shining light

Ina shining light

Then at the end of service

On a good day

We'd go to IHOP or something like that

Then we'd go home

And at the end of the day, the sun would go down

And go up

And nothing would change
