[Intro]
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Baby it's been a long road
It's been a long road
Baby, you know it's been a long road
[Chorus]
It's not over yet, we've only just begun
Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51
Let's go, I know we'll have some fun
Ohhh deep in my heart you'll always be
When I need to run, far away from everyone
No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun
Let's go
Deep in your heart I'll always be
[Verse 1]
Goodnight...
Goodnight folks, fell asleep reading the Bible
When I'm dreaming, I can hear my mother singin' them high notes
I see a bunch of people in life boats
They wanna keep me under, but I'm tryna stay afloat
I'm back to the day I wrote my first battle rhyme
Broke the soul of that weepin' brother, they formin' a line so I said, "Hey
Keep em' comin." Even though, all I play is Stevie Wonder
I don't really know no hip- hop, I grew up on CeCe Winans
Yo, I ain't' fit in for a while
They'd be partying, I would sit Indian style
Watchin' all my friends, that was back then and it's wild
In the audience, they be like "Chris!" and I smile
You be thinking I changed, but you don't know the half
And even if you did, man that's only half
But, God gave me something I can only have
My own shade, I'm cool with a lonely path
[Chorus]
It's not over yet, we've only just begun
Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51
Let's go, I know we'll have some fun
Ohhh deep in my heart you'll always be
When I need to run, far away from everyone
No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun
Let's go
Deep in your heart I'll always be
[Verse 2]
I didn't know the kid would grow to love his difference
Was living for appearance or what people say
A miracle to really go through the transition
From indigo to loving on the deepest shade of me
When I dropped School of Roses that was one side of me
I was just tryna show you, what you didn't wanna see
Now I'm waking up every morning, to play the hand I been dealt
'Cause I felt like you knew me, when I didn't know myself
[Chorus]
It's not over yet, we've only just begun
Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51
Let's go, I know we'll have some fun
Ohhh deep in my heart you'll always be
When I need to run, far away from everyone
No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun
Let's go
Deep in your heart I'll always be
