Been living this life
Like The Chronicles of Riddick
I'm, sensitive to light
That's why the dark
Is where I get my shine on
I'm trying to get my shine on
Been grippin' these mics
Like my very soul depended on 'em
I'm missing the times
Where writing a rhyme
About all my problems would solve 'em
I'm trying to get my shine on
Somebody turn the lights off
I'm trying to figure this out
I'm tired of living in doubt
I'm tired of fishing for clout
Why can't I just figure this out
Why can't I just figure this out
I'm trying too hard
Too busy with playing the part
No time to just follow my heart
Unfocused but passionate
Sorry for loving too hard
If that ain't the truth
I'm driving a coupe
So I don't have room
To deal with your problems, yeah trust me I'm cool
Said that I'm cool but I'm probably not
Chances are high the mentality's off
Mask is on point but that's just a facade
Rappin' has given me options
Of possibly causin'
The failure inside me to blossom
Or preachin' the Gospel
And teaching the weak that redemption is always an option
Preachin' the Gospel
Teaching the weak
Redemption is always an option
Yeah
There's always an option
Been living this life
Like The Chronicles of Riddick
I'm, sensitive to light
That's why the dark
Is where I get my shine on
I'm trying to get my shine on
Been grippin' these mics
Like my very soul depended on 'em
I'm missing the times
Where writing a rhyme
About all my problems would solve 'em
I'm trying to get my shine on
Somebody turn the lights off
I'm livin' in
I'm livin' in
I'm livin' in
A perpetual state of regret and it's settled in
I'm tired of always just settlin'
Settle for this and I settle for that
I push up my levels then dial 'em back
I'm afraid of the risk so I'm missin' my chances
I sit and I stare at the canvas
I pray and I wait for distractions
You call it madness, I call it balance
Why can't I see all this "talent"
From people I hear all about it
But still I can't help but to doubt it
I'm drownin' myself in my fear of rejection
I lie to myself and make me believe
This silence is for my protection
Questions I'm getting from peers
"Why haven't you made it this year?"
"How come you're not selling more gear?"
"You should perform over here!"
"You're better than so and so and her and him
So are they the ones who get the wins?"
I don't know
Yeah
I don't know
But I promise I'll figure this out
I'm tired of living in doubt
I promise I'll figure this out
Been living this life
Like The Chronicles of Riddick
I'm, sensitive to light
That's why the dark
Is where I get my shine on
I'm trying to get my shine on
Been grippin' these mics
Like my very soul depended on 'em
I'm missing the times
Where writing a rhyme
About all my problems would solve 'em
I'm trying to get my shine on
Somebody turn the lights off
