Beneath The Light
[verse 1]
Soon as my my name pops up they switch lanes
The new thane of the rap game came to slain
With smooth blades
But I always refrain from using rage to attend to these
Self proclaimed "rap god's", hungry for fame
When I approach they all ducking for safety
I'd swear they belong at the bottom of the food chain
& I'm on top so I guess slaying these niggas with no remorse whatsoever is always part of my day

See fighting pride has always been a struggle
As I casually mumbled for help on a sunny day
With my voice at frequency low just to tell I'm speaking
But not еnough to perceive what I'm saying and bеst believe
I'll brush it off with a smile and say it was nothing
Guess pride & ego combined is a lot more lethal than greed
Let it consume me at worst I'll be fighting demons and prolly pledging allegiance to groups I've never seen
I feel as if letting it out is prolly as hard as inflicting guilt on a fiend who was brought up on tough regimes
& so I battle with that
I protect my heart even though it prolly would mean I would lose out on everything
[Bridge: HOV interview]

[verse 2]
Well see my recent upcoming' have shown indeed there is something
Within this kid and I'll admit towards my goals, I am running
Although I'm hardly complacent with sitting down and just waiting
To get the bag, I'd rather get up on my feet and chase it
I'm inspired by all the I've seen who have reached and obtained some things you casually come across
For every win you supposedly take a loss
& so now I accept my L's just to welcome up all the Dub's

Beneath the light there is darkness
It pushes me quite the hardest, because without it I'm losing hope for a brighter day
& as I stray along I also carefully portray exactly what I want to say as beautiful as a bouquet
With all the hurdles I come across in this journey I'm hoping that in the end I'll be surely proven as worthy
To hold the highest of titles, it's clear to see that I'm thirsty and yo I'm planning to quench it with all I want before I'm thirty

With my lyrics I'm given, a weapon that to begin with
Is strong enough to take down armies & I need no permission
Some would say that I'm gifted but in truth I'm committed
To bein' better from the start, I always knew I was different
