[Verse 1: 6LACK]
Word to the wise
Never live your life in disguise
Don't disappoint the man in the sky
I am not oblige
Don't follow any rubric that ain't mine
There's people tryna take a nigga's shine
There's too many tools on the block
For you to talk that talk
I ain't shooting but don't think that they can't walk that walk
Gun reference like a battle rapper
It's a Glock
Take a nigga Adam's apple turn it to mines
I got times I ain't used yet
On the east I ain't move yet
Coil rich with a new check
Don't say nothing too slick
Cause we're coming for spots if they hot
And it will probably beat you next
[Chorus: Scribz Riley]
Heard they wanna dim my light
You gon' have to risk your life
They don't wanna see me shine
That's why they wanna dim my light
[Post-Chorus: Scribz Riley]

[Verse 2: Scribz Riley]
They don't understand me
They don't understand me
Do it for the gram but me I do it for my family
Never hit the mo boards but I won a Grammy
Rest in peace my granny Imma shine through the valley
I will shine till I'm dead
Tell them pay me respect
Last time that I checked
I could buy and protect
But I rather invest and watch the money progress
Bars like a criminals cause they go over your head
[Chorus: Scribz Riley]
Heard they wanna dim my light
You gon' have to risk your life
They don't wanna see me shine
That's why they wanna dim my light
