Hi-Rez - Light Up A Candle lyrics

It's been a long time running, a long time coming A lot of nights sleepless but it ain't all for nothing I just live for today, cause tomorrow's a gamble Somebody lead me the way, and light up a candle Somebody Light up a candle Light up a candle Somebody Light up a candle Light up a candle I told them Light up a candle Light up a candle Somebody lead me the way, and light up a candle It just feels like I'm running with my eyes closed Black lights black nights and black clothes I've had dark minutes that's black times Black hands on the clock gave me black eyes I remember being lost never found Running from a dark past in this dark town And then I saw a light, had to run to it But then I got close and somebody put a gun to it I've been shot down and knocked down but every time I got back up I've been dropped down and locked down but every I got unstuck Now they walk around n talk about how they think it's just luck So now I ride around with the top down just to say what's up So now they want to notice me I'll turn the lights out - shhh - watch them go to sleep All I see is liars, a bunch of Pinocchio's So lead me to the light in case you didn't know (Chorus) All these shady people try to steal my shine They all fronting so that's why they get left behind This is the path I choose, so I stick to it Everybody want to push me down but I just push thru it Influenced by success hated by defeat Practice makes perfect until it's greatness I achieve I saw people cheat and lie, so I'm reaching for the sky Trying to ask somebody why, they're all coming for my shine I guess it's cause I'm fly, and they all want a piece of that It's like I'm running for my life and I don't dare take a second to look back Try to hate on how I'm living, microscope every decision Just to find a single flaw now that's hates definition But in the midst of the pain, I still find my peace It seems like my dreams are just outside my reach Now I'm coming just for you, so you better watch your back Light up a candle because the darkness hides the fact (Chorus) [ Hi-Rez ] I'm uncomfortable in my skin and the situations I'm in Trying to forget what happened to me so I'm smoking on that piff Swimming in an ocean of regrets and lies, I'm getting high Not really enjoying life, just smoking to pa** the time Come take a step in my mind, you'll end up hanging from ropes Or wasting your time with hoes, or smoking that dope to cope I'm packing venues for these shows, but still I'm losing all hope And I'm trying to find, trying to find, trying to find where it go I want a f**ing brain transplant, the one I got is damaged Got my city on my back, like a f**ing hoes tramp stamp Mo' f**in' famine, dying of dehydration f** being patient and waiting, I'm about to k** all these lame basic b**hes (Chorus)
