Big Sean]
Uh-huh, is it time?
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
Look, I spent my whole life tryna improvise
Dm
I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize
Am Bm C Bm
Spent my whole life tryna find the light that's at the end of the tunnel
Dm
I should have realized it was inside
Am Bm C Bm
So lately I been trying to get what's inside outside
Dm
So many people wanna see my insides outside
Am Bm C Bm
I'm from that city four hours east of Southside
Dm
Where everyone outside, but don't fuck with no outsiders
Am Bm C Bm
Going up, with the ones I hold it down with
Dm
Whole city got my back on some photobomb shit
Am Bm C Bm
Whole city blowing up on some old Saddam shit
Dm
Before this I was the one hoes tried to go to prom with
[Refrain: Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars
Dm
Now we gotta take the train, hood niggas takin' chains
Am Bm C Bm
Slave master take our names, 5-0 take the shot
Dm
And young souls take the blame, man but they can't take away
The light
[Hook: Jeremih & Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Dm
No, man they can't fuck with the light
Am Bm C Bm
They can't stop the shine
Dm
They can't fuck with the light
Am Bm C Bm
Hell nah the boy's that bright
Dm
Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light
Am Bm C Bm
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Dm
[Verse 2: Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
Got the whole city on fire
Dm
Boy, this the flow that got Steph Curry inspired
Am Bm C Bm
This the flow that got Lebron James finna rewire
Dm
This the flow that got my whole family finna retire
Am Bm C Bm
Flows on flows, I might drown in this bitch
Dm
Ye found a pro, I guess I'm profound in this bitch
Am Bm C Bm
My dad from Louisiana, man the smallest town
Dm
Where if they know you're brown, they might hold you down and even hose you down, man
Am Bm C Bm
Since I'm his son, I feel like I gotta stunt hard
Dm
I took the hand that they gave me and played the Donald Trump card
Am Bm C Bm
And realized counting money never feel as good as counting blessings
Dm
And a loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon
[Refrain: Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars
Dm
Now we gotta take the train, hood niggas takin' chains
Am Bm C Bm
Slave master take our names, 5-0 take the shot
Dm
And young souls take the blame, man but they can't take away
The light
[Hook: Jeremih & Big Sean]
Am Bm C Bm
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Dm
No, man they can't fuck with the light
Am Bm C Bm
They can't stop the shine
Dm
They can't fuck with the light
Am Bm C Bm
Hell nah the boy's that bright
Dm
Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light
Am Bm C Bm
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Dm
[Outro: Jeremih]
Am Bm C Bm
Don't let them take away your soul
Dm
No, no (No, no)
Am Bm C Bm
Don't let them take away what makes you whole
