The Light

Mick Jenkins

  • 																					Oh, it's a gnat in here
    Get out of here, gnat
    You got something to tell me, gnat?
    You got something you want to tell me, gnat?
    Huh? Alright

    Cuff my nuts, place myself on house arrest
    Locked in, judge, jury, bailiff, bet
    When it rains, I'm dry, sun shines, I'm wet
    Push up demons, fuck it, doin' 'bout 50, 11 sets
    Ignoring your texts like sweet babies who cry in the church
    Or if your partner got popped yesterday and school come first
    My favorite color's yellow, maybe 'cause I'm mellow
    And I got so much style, it's probably 'cause I'm ghetto
    My mommy never cooked a Cosby dinner
    And often times I took a L for Mrs. Winters
    But I'm getting off the subject
    Off the boat, got my luggage but the quote
    Pack light starts to echo through my mind
    So I'm rushing now, hushing now
    Laid my suitcase down like prom night
    Zipped it open started pulling out
    Tossin' memories, socks, thoughts who pretend to be
    Boxer briefs, pants, pictures of frenemies killing me

    To make room, room, room, for the light
    Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
    Cut the cord to my bungee
    You can be yourself, don't be shy
    Take your time, don't you rush things

    Thought I bought a Rollie, but forget that, I didn't need it
    Just let that holy water wash over my Caesar dressing
    Like that Thursday in November, know that they'll remember style
    Boil it then let it simmer down, we blowing smoke between the breeze
    The twists are Senegalese
    No more Backwoods blown, we ride the rings of memories
    We wired the intricacies of our logic, no hands in my pocket
    Still got my hand on my weapon
    He more Malcolm than Martin, a bit more Baldwin than both
    You need a cauldron for mixing a black man's soul into soup
    So many fishbowls can't cope, you cracking jokes 'bout the soap
    We more concerned with the truth
    You niggas burning the booth, these niggas burning the wick at both ends
    Fade to black I'm ghosting in the light
    Lately I been waking up at night, tryna to beat the day
    Overconfident, I can't be Issa Rae

    To make room, room, room, for the light
    Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
    Cut the cord to my bungee
    You can be yourself, don't be shy (Yeah)
    Take your time, don't you rush things

    I know what I know, but you heard what you heard
    So you poked your head in, got suspicion confirmed
    Been on my feet for miles, so my soul got some burn
    Still it's fuck how you feel on my bottle of pills
    If you can't hold me down then you don't get a turn
    Yeah, yeah, fame is less worse, nothing sacred no more
    Either take what you want or you make what you earn
    If I kill you, I promise, I'll pray for you first, like
    Ooh-ooh (Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
    If you love me, grease my scalp with this 380 in my lap, like
    Ooh, yeah

    To make room, room, room, for the light (What's the worst thing that could happen? Use the answer to relapse)
    Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
    Cut the cord to my bungee
    You can be yourself, don't be shy (Yeah)
    Take your time, don't you rush things
