[Intro]
There once was a man who would cry out his eyes
Laughing and singing his sorrow, tomorrow and time after time
Somewhere lost in his mind, back at the scene of the crime
Walking in search of a friend for the night
Between a rock and a quarry, oh sorry but you're not my type
I won't put up a fight, please lead me back to the light
Please lead me back

[Verse]
Back to the light
Back to the track with a knack for your type
Flashback to my black bachelor life
That I left in the past with the passion of Christ
A massive assassin on past international nights
Fuck your feelings, we ain't talking about fear
And no my n***as not talking 'bout beer
When they say that they got a taste for a natural light
Don't let your impulse make you a slave
Don't let it take you away, to a place with an ace
And a spade, where you ache for the sake
Making in a year what they make in a day
Locked in a cage with your generational rage
Hate generates renegades
Showing their ass to the crowd 'cause they can't take it to the stage
Been feeling real good man, when I see myself
First time in my life feeling like I can finally be myself
Cashews on special, shit I might treat myself
I drop science not history bitch, I don't repeat myself
N***a be mad I said it, y'all n***as not gon' set it
Y'all n***as wait for permission to engage
Motherfucker I been wedded, in your DNA, I'm embedded
Rap game Sallie Mae, y'all indebted
Pray to the Lord for a course that'll feed me, long as it leads me
[Bridge]
Please lead me back to the light
Please lead me back to the light
