Guardian Angel
James Williams Coco Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say I'm young but my purpose is
The inspiration of a nation innovation
Til I change the talk into a conversation
I'm like a doctor and my patients are anxiously
Waiting healing all the hating
That's faking in the paper chasing
Its hard to live up to these expectations
That I'm facing and gain the admiration
Of an older generation
That's why I'm pacing back and forth
Contemplating, meditating how to use what I've been taught
As a positive force

Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel

I wanna be the greatest in the world
Not for the money,or the fame,or the girls
Not for the car keys,jet skis,or the vacation to the West Indies
But simply 'cause love it
When I write I'm like a puppeteer
Pulling my strings til the melody sings
And it honestly makes me spread my wings
You calling me out
Without your mind
Send that thought back down your spine
I'm on the ground
It's on the line
Road signs say both ways at the same time
Most days I can't wait to rhyme
Express my stress elevate and shine
Progress,regress
Each step's climbed
So I take that test and I testify

Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel

I feel so misunderstood
'Cause my intentions were good
If you can only see that poetry can hide in the hood
The passion in Philosophy of possibilities
Every dream is in my reach
I'll find my freedom in this beat
Follow me now it's a brand new ground
Swallow your pride I'll make you proud
All of my life I've lived out loud
We just preached to different crowds

Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel

Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
It's time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you




I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel

I wanna be the greatest in the world, not for the money or the fame or girls
Not for the car keys or jet skis, or the vacation to the West Indies
But simply cause I love it, when I write, I’m like a puppeteer
Pulling my strings and the melody sings and the honesty makes me spread my wings
Calling me out without your mind, send that thought back down your spine
I’m on the ground, it’s all on the line
Road signs say both ways at the same time
Most days I can’t wait to rhyme
Express my stress, elevate, and shine
Progress, regress, each step to climb
So I take that test and I testify”

Here you go. Here is the full rap for that part. Sorry if it’s too late. 🤗💖😅

"Guardian Angel"
(with Coco Jones)
(from "Let It Shine" soundtrack)

[Tyler James Williams:]
They say I'm young
But my purpose is the inspiration of a nation innovation
'Til I change the talk into a conversation
I'm like a doctor and my patients are anxiously waiting
Healing all the hating
That faking in the paper chasin'
It's hard to live up to these expectations that I'm facing
And gain the admiration of an older generation
That's why I'm pacing back and forth contemplating
Meditating how to use what I've been taught as a positive force

[Coco Jones (Tyler James Williams):]
Oh! Oh!
This is who I am
(it's all me y'all)
I wish you'd understand
(I'm feeling free y'all)

My guardian angel
No! No!

I'm still a part of you
(but they can't stop me)
I hope you'll always be
My guardian angel

When I write I'm like a puppeteer
Pullin' my strings' 'til the melody sings
And the honesty makes me spread my wings
Calling me out was out of your mind
Send that thought back down your spine
I'm on the grind, it's all on the line

Progress, regress, each step's a climb
So I take that test and I testify

This was one of the realest movies that Disney Channel has ever made.

@JspauInc

+Ray D And the best by far.

@musiclover_kb4913

+ProdigalNinja I'd say one of the best, I love this movie. But I don't think it's quite as good as Lemonade Mouth

@JspauInc

Kobe Busia I liked both but I think I liked Let It Shine better.  I go to church and all so I guess it's cause I could relate to it...  Kind of...  Except...  I'm not a rapper.  XD

@myeongcho485
