[Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome]
|
We should shine a light on, a light on
|
Book I write on, write on, it's right on
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Yo, I try to get it how I live it
|
A lot of people counting on me, kinda like a digit
|
It's a cold world, I'm not fronting like it isn't
|
It's no time for coming up shorter than a midget
|
Y'all know I'ma raise the bar though like Bridget
|
See there a star go, don't blink, you might miss it
|
It's precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it
|
The light comes in different types, be more specific
|
Shit, I'm Black Thought, what could be more prolific?
|
For this love, I go above and beyond a limit
|
I told y'all I'm above and beyond a gimmick
|
I get into your head and spread like a pandemic
|
I never put myself in a race I can't finish
|
I'm well-grounded, founded on the same premise
|
as any man with hit list that's bout business
|
Yo, can a brother get a witness? Dig it, right on!
|
|
[Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome]
|
|
[STS]
|
Aight, okay, I'm above and beyond hot, my measurement in watts
|
Time rate and flow of energy ain't never gon' stop
|
Pressure's on, I won't pop, microphone I won't drop
|
Gemstones niggas cop ain't shit if I ain't in the spot
|
It's the Orion of the Hop, the new star of the Hip
|
I shine a light for the future so my presence a gift
|
It's evident I'm heaven scent with Thomas Edison elements
|
Reverence for what I represent to show my benevolence
|
This is Philly, I'm repping for the art of the city
|
Came from South West Atlanta, gave my heart to the city
|
where slugs fly, thugs cry, cause every part of it's gritty
|
Niggas shooting up the club like they partied with Diddy
|
You get the diggy, I flick my incandescence to fluorescence
|
and in essence, I can burn with joules of energy per second
|
I put 'em onto lessons while I'm smoking on the blessing
|
The switch hitter like Pete Rose right of possession, right on!
|
|
[Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome]
