Guardian Angel
Tyler James Williams feat. Coco Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

yeahh.
yeahh...
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
Oh! (Oh!)
This is who I am
(It's all me y'all)
I wish you'd understand
(I feel free y'all)
It's time to set me free
My guardian angel
No! (No!)
No matter what I do
(They try to stop me)
I'm still a part of you

(But they can't stop me)

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, or the jetskis or the vacations to the West Indies
But simply 'cause I love it
When I write I'm like a puppeteer
Pullin' my strings till the melody sings
And the honesty makes me spread my wings
Just calling me out was out your mind
Send that thought back down your spine
I'm on the grind, it's all on the line
Both 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 a climb
So I take that test and I testify
Oh! (Oh!)
This is who I am
(It's all me y'all)
I wish you'd understand
(I feel free y'all)
It's time to set me free
My guardian angel
No! (No!)
No matter what I do

(They try to stop me)
I'm still a part of you
(But they can't stop me)

I hope you'll always be
My guardian angel
I feel so misunderstood
'Cause my intentions were good
If you could 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 whole new ground
Swallow your pride I'll make you proud

All of my life I've lived out loud
We just preach to different crowds
Oh!
This is who I am
I wish you'd understand

It's time to set me free
My guardian angel
Oh! (Oh!)
This is who I am
(It's all me y'all)
I wish you'd understand
(I'm bein' freed y'all)
It's time to set me free
My guardian angel
No! (No!)
No matter what I do
(They try to stop me)
I'm still a part of you
(But they can't stop me)




I hope you'll always be
My guardian angel

I'll use my beats to set myself free and take on whatever new challenges come my way, even though we may be preaching to different crowds.

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. 🤗💖😅

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

+ProdigalNinja but you could be one if you try :)
