The Light

beatboxing

( Oooh, oooh ) The walls are grey I can't believe the walls are grey I know what the caged bird choked on and proceeded to meet in the hall to pray I wasn't even given permission to take a second of intermission to call and say despite an impressive effort to keep our love off the record, my mother is into target play ( Oooh,

oooh) - Diji

BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT. I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar WELL, SHE'S NOT YOUR KID. CAUSE THIS IS MY HOUSE. I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar What a plot turn, how I'm guarding the door and don't see the lock turn now I'm staying up and am bordering nocturne cause I couldn't write anymore-- can't produce from a crop burn and you better believe I said it quicker than I was thinking when my momma lil hammer came down "I hate you" spit across the room sent me and my bags to my dad's across town ( Oooh, oooh )

Diji

I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar ( Oooh, oooh)

It was about 11 past heaven in February when pops told me he didn't care about my crimes In fact, shorty could slide if I kept my grades stacked and I did my time but a little birdy who had clearly never choked flew a little feather through the funnel with a note told my momma I was trippin- dippin on the low, and so I wouldn't see him again until I was grown ( Oooh, oooh)
