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