Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From one human to another

I ain't talkin bout no signs shawty, when ya hear me saying that the stars aligned
I ain't talkin bout no lime, nigga I'm the light can't you see I'm born to shine
Y'all too caught in the likes, the hype, what who think is right, not bright
Or maybe more so ill advised. Just give me the light, bitch you keep the shine

Uh, uh
Give me the light and I'm making a way
Passed me the torch, they can't take it away
You had a light but it's fading away
This generation I'm saving the day
All while I'm baked I be taking the cake
Life is a gamble, I'm making some shake
All in the face of awaiting my fate

What should I say?
Ain't much to talk about these days
Ain't much to smile about these days
Ain't much to laugh about these days
I just been lapping em these days
I been out rapping em these days
I just can't fathom shit these days
Losing more happiness these days
Yeah, yeah
Vengeance on my mind
For all the times you felt inclined
To shit on any affirmations given from the confines of my mind
Slow ascension to my prime
While I watch you boys decline
It's all fine

I ain't talkin bout no signs shawty, when ya hear me saying that the stars aligned
I ain't talkin bout no lime, nigga I'm the light can't you see I'm born to shine




Y'all too caught in the likes, the hype, what who think is right, not bright
Maybe more so ill advised. Just give me the light, bitch you keep the shine

Uh, uh
Give me the light and I'm making a way
Passed me the torch, they can't take it away
You had a light but it's fading away
This generation I'm saving the day
All while I'm baked I be taking the cake
Life is a gamble, I'm making sum shake
All in the face of awaiting my fate

Uh, yeah
The comp is comedic relief
Or maybe it's bringing me grief
Asking myself what they hear in the shit that they say cause it really ain't speaking to me
Niggas ain't bout half the shit they confessing on wax but it's really no secret to me
I want the crown, you can't keep it from me
Yeah
I can show ya how to shine, light the beam
Out at Golden 1, I'm the golden one 1, he's the king
Kiss of death, if I ever play my tape. Kiss the ring
Name in they mouth, guess it keep em fresh like listerine

In the future tell me nigga what you can see?
Sorry mama it's still fuck a degree
Why invest in debt for payments that cheap
Just to make these petty thousands a weak
Barely pay the rent and food that I eat
Nepotism wouldn't be so obscene
Need a lil light to show how I gleam

Can I show you how to get your shine on
Got the shawties tellin DJ's turn this up, it's my song
Need the label pendant flooded out with every milestone
Couldn't call on niggas then so guess who get the dial tone

I ain't talkin bout no signs shawty, when ya hear me saying that the stars aligned
I ain't talkin bout no lime, nigga I'm the light can't you see I'm born to shine
Y'all too caught in the likes, the hype, what who think is right, not bright
Maybe more so ill advised. Just give me the light, bitch you keep the shine

Uh, uh
Give me the light and I'm making a way
Passed me the torch, they can't take it away
You had a light but it's fading away
This generation I'm saving the day
All while I'm baked I be taking the cake
Life is a gamble, I'm making sum shake
All in the face of awaiting my fate

Yeah
Okay
Have you seeing stars like nebula, I crash
When I crash, I hop out the whip like let's go get a bag
Get the bag. Hit and run, it's not insured when I smash
It's a smash, dope inside these raps like I been flipping halves
Flippin shit
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash

Niggas say they wanna rap
Why would they go and do that
They want a piece of the lime, this shit is all mine, they hear to distract
I been top of the line time after time with little reacts
Put some respect on my craft bitch
Most these niggas ain't bout shit
Most these bitches ain't bout shit
Smokin on killer no Auschwitz
New brain dead on my outfit
Linked lil shorty like round 6
She want score, this hoe down 6
I came up, ain't been down since
I got deep cuts on the link
Shawty got an ass like a pic she posing on the sink
Money flowing out the back like I'm whippin stolen Brinks
Imagine where I'd be if I had given fucks to what you think

Have you seeing stars like nebula, I crash
When I crash, I hop out the whip like let's go get a bag
Get the bag. Hit and run, it's not insured when I smash
It's a smash, dope inside these raps like I been flipping halves
Flippin shit
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash out
Crash
