We should shine a light on, a light on And the book I write on, write on Here we write on We should shine a light on, a light on And the book I write on, write on Here we write on Yo, I try to get it how I live it A lot of people countin' on me kinda like a digit It's a cold world, I'm not frontin' like it isn't There's no time for comin' up shorter than a midget Y'all know I'ma raise the bar though like Bridgette See every star go, don't blink, you might miss it It's precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it The light comes in different types, be more specific Shit, I'm Black Thought, what could be more prolific?
