the light
ROB.B Lyrics

Hop on the stage
I'm ready to perform and give my all

Get a bag
Make money and secure the bag

For a night
Temporary success and enjoyment

Pretty young thing
An attractive woman catches my eye

Probably smash her on sight
I am interested in having sexual relations with her

A Gemini
My astrological sign is Gemini

Why you ask for my sign
Why are you concerned with my astrological sign?

I walk the walk
I back up my words with actions

And I hope she gon ride
I hope she will support and be with me

Lately, I got so much shit on mind
I am dealing with a lot of heavy thoughts and emotions lately

Depression, aggression
I am struggling with mental health issues like depression and aggression

Anxiety, pressure
I am dealing with anxiety and external pressures

I'm trying sobriety
I am attempting to become sober and deal with my emotions without substance abuse

Nothing inside of me
I feel empty and hopeless inside

That's why
This is why I am dealing with so many struggles

I been fighting it silently
I have been struggling with these issues alone and in silence

How did I become my own nemesis
I am causing problems for myself and struggling with inner conflict

Concept of livin in doubt
Living with uncertainty and doubt is primitive and limiting

Is so primitve
It is archaic and outdated

Internet cannot tell me
I cannot be defined by my online presence

What my image is
My identity is not solely defined by how others see me

At the time
I was feeling limited at that moment

About time that I break out the mold
It's time for me to break free from my limitations and expectations

Give em something they ain't got before
I want to bring something new and fresh to the table

Devil mad when he ain't got control
The devil is angered when he does not have power over my life

So I'm hopin that I never go under
I hope to never become powerless or defeated

No wonder
It's not surprising that I am facing challenges

All of this shit
All of the problems and struggles

Keep on happening
Continue to occur and persist

Ain't always easy
It's not always simple and straightforward

When you do this rappin shit
Being a rapper is challenging

My daddy was movin them packages
My father was involved in illegal drug trafficking

With the ratchets and the gats and shit
Carrying guns and other weapons for protection during the drug trade

I feel like AJ Soprano
I can relate to the character AJ Soprano from The Sopranos because of my father's involvement in criminal activity

But hand me an AK, I'm Rambo
I am capable of being a tough, gun-wielding protagonist like Rambo

She gave me head,
She performed oral sex on me

That ain't shampoo
This is not a cleaning product

Sorry, I'm starting to ramble
I apologize for getting sidetracked and talking too much

Every now and then
Occasionally

I just need to be on my own
I need to be alone to clear my mind and recharge

I just seem to feel a little bit better
Being alone makes me feel better

When there's no unknowns
When I am in a familiar and comfortable environment

Keep the energy,
Maintain a positive mindset and maintain energy

That's how I'm always in my zone
This helps me perform at my best and stay focused

I will never ever run away
I will not give up or back down

I had so many dreams
I have had many aspirations

Of moving with a fleet
Being a part of a group or team

Really deep
A profound desire

Inside of my pretty jeep
A luxury car that represents success and status

So high I can barely see
I am on top of the world and my aspirations are lofty

Myself in the industry
Being established and respected in the music industry

I fought, but not missing teeth
I have faced challenges and struggles but have not been defeated

Don't say it's not meant to be
I will not give up on my dreams and aspirations

I don't understand gibberish
I cannot be swayed by nonsense or empty slogans

Always working, I'm rigorous
I am dedicated and hardworking

Almost thought about givin up
I nearly considered giving up on my goals

Damn, that shit was ridiculous
It was an absurd thought and I should not have considered it

How I stop
I cannot let myself give up or slow down

When I know that I'm hot
I am talented and capable

As most of the populous
As many people believe

And now I'm saving Metropolis
I am achieving great things and making a positive impact

I'm tired of them
I am sick of people trying to bring me down

Tellin me that I can't be a hero
People are trying to discourage me from achieving greatness

I could put Jonny in debt
I can outperform anyone else in the industry

And then I'm robbin deniro
I will take what I deserve from the industry

I'mma need all of the checks
I will demand the compensation I deserve

In yins and dollars and euros
In all currencies

The sponsorships and endorsements
I expect to be sponsored and endorsed by brands

In all the latest apparel
I expect to be at the forefront of fashion and clothing trends

I know it's super superficial
I understand that this is very materialistic and shallow

But I'm not new to this
I have always known that this is how the industry works

You know that I'm the realest
I am authentic and genuine

Motherfucka to the gristle
I am a tough and resilient person

Lotta Hennessey, we drink it down
We consume a lot of Hennessy liquor

Like it's a Redbull
We consume it with a lot of energy and enthusiasm

Now that shorty droppin to her knees
A woman is performing fellatio on me

Like it's a ritual
It is a regular and expected occurrence

Gotta keep a pistol
I feel the need to carry a weapon for self-defense

Just in case
As a precautionary measure

Cause I won't call the police
I do not trust or rely on the authorities for protection

To regulate
To deal with or control

They too busy
Law enforcement is too preoccupied with other matters

Raidin all the homes in section 8
Police are conducting raids in low-income housing projects

Let alone that them niggas never can relate
They cannot understand my experiences and perspective

I'm okay with
I am comfortable with

Doing everything I can for my squad
I will do whatever it takes to support and protect my team

If it ever get foul
If things turn ugly or dangerous

I'mma stand on the line
I will defend my team and take a stand

Ball on both coasts
I am successful and respected on both the East and West Coasts

Like my name was LeBron
Like the basketball player LeBron James
