A Different Light

[Verse 1]
(Yeah, storytime)
I almost got stabbed in the parking lot at Shell
Tryna cop some pills, I had a hundred dollar bill
Peeped the product in the bag, I could tell it wasn't real
Then he reached with his hand, but he missed the steering wheel
Life flashed before my eyes, tryna put the car in drive
Thought he had a gun on him, but he switched and pulled a knife
Wish a motherfucker would try and cut the ice
'Cause when the getting get going, I'm really afraid to die
This is plain in my mind, ten seconds have passed by
Backed all the way out, and I could somewhat see the light
I ain't gon' lie, I cried the whole way home
How'd I get so far from all the places that I was going?

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by

[Verse 2]
A few weeks later I OD'd, staring at the walls in my room
Thinking if I died tonight, would I be gone too soon?
I never really thought I'd make it past 25
So 26 a testament to me being alive
Through the pressure out of my control, feel like I'm getting old
Feel like the world changing, don't wanna sell my soul
Don't wanna live for fame, don't want the money either
Tryna go down in history and that's a funny thing
'Cause when shit hits the fan, nobody next to you
They not expecting you to do some shit that they could do
These days I know I'm more than just a man
Talking to God to show me who I really am

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by
Sometimes it's so hard to see the light
Sometimes it's so hard to get by
