the light is coming
Ariana Grande feat. Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You wouldn't let anybody speak and instead...
Ay yo, trophy wife, owww you won me
Until you had to find out it's one me
Now you benched, aw, your bum knee
Now I'm the bad guy, call me Chun-Li
And everything I peeped, can't just unsee
Sips tea, and it's unsweet
Respect bad gyal when mi dun speak
Now we shooting the shot like drive-by's
Why you had to make me go call up my side guy?
Can't let a f-boy f-up my nice vibes
Yo Ariana, come let me give you a high five
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
What did she say? What did he say?
You don't listen 'cause you know everything
You don't even need dreams
Tellin' everybody, "Stay woke, don't sleep"
Ah, gonna break that shit down
You don't wait, tell 'em wait another round
Ah, guess you're way above it now
And that's your way to love it now
How can they tell you shit that you've been through?
They're so confused
Who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
Know-it-all (know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances, every time you blow it all (blow it all)
As if it was shade, you would just throw it all (throw it all)
It's like you're trying not to glow at all (glow at all)
Know-it-all (know-it-all)
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
Why do we have chemistry
With a need for speed?
Doin' things that trouble clings
To and burns off our wings
Ah, gonna break that shit down
You don't wait until they wait another round
Ah, guess you're way above it now
And that's your way to love it now
How can they tell you shit that you've been through?
They're so confused
Who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
Know-it-all (know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances, every time you blow it all (blow it all)
As if it was shade, You would just throw it all (throw it all)
It's like you're trying not to glow at all (glow at all)
Know-it-all (know-it-all)
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming to give back
everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
These lyrics are from the song "The Light is Coming" by Ariana Grande feat. Nicki Minaj, which was released in 2018. The song is a vibrant mix of pop and hip-hop with an upbeat tempo that highlights the powerful lyrics.
The first verse is by Nicki Minaj, where she seems to address someone who didn't take her seriously, and now she is the one who is on top. She talks about the person's clumsiness and how she won't answer to them until they respect her. She then offers to shoot back at them with her "side guy." The chorus is sung by Ariana and repeats the same line four times, which is, "The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole." This line seems to be the central theme of the song, which talks about getting back what was taken unjustly.
In the next verse, both Ariana and Nicki sing together, and they talk about people who think they know everything and presume to tell others what to do. They say that these people are confused and should not matter to anyone unless their viewpoint aligns with their own. They then repeat the chorus again.
The song seems to be about standing up for oneself and breaking free from the bonds of darkness, which could represent negativity, hate, or any other downfall one may face in life. The lyrics tell us to stay true to what we believe in and not let anyone take what belongs to us. It's a powerful message packed in an upbeat melody that makes the listener want to dance and feel empowered.
