[Intro: Joba]
The light
[Chorus: Joba]
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming, "Please, don't do it"
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming, "Please, don't do it"
[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
Sick of these niggas givin' me false info
Like I ain't grow up on MTV, Boondocks and The Chappelle Show
Bitch, I can handle the truth
That's how I entered the booth, look at all these bruises I got, it gave me so much confidence
Back when I was makin' songs at my mama's crib
The candle's lit, the temperature rising
What type of man can find the right time to fly in?
Especially when my cousin dyin'
Should've never sold my soul, should've protected all my opinions
To see the world move without you feel like a daydream
(Kool-aid stands, band-aids wrapped around your beautiful hands)
Protect me from the city
Couldn't save me from the world back then
Had Jeezy on repeat in your whip, no peace in my streets, and these days, no license
Only take the Jeep if my boyfriend is drivin'
Plus he got the kinda skin that make the police like him
Ever since I was a kid, I always felt so frightened
My mama from the ghetto
Her vote go to any nigga that keep Jesus in the convo
Me and her just get on good terms
Thank God for them unexpected turns
Breaks her heart when she see my city burn
Thank God for teachin' me how to learn to have empathy even when it burns
But I hate that you got me in this box expecting me to see the light
See the light, see the light
All my niggas to the right, right, right
You see the light, light, light, light
And all my niggas to the left, right
Left, right, left, right
You see the light, light, light, light, light, light
The light
[Chorus: Joba]
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming, "Please, don't do it"
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Why did you do it?
The light is worth the wait
I promise, wait
Screaming, "Please, don't do it"
