“Light Inside” is the sixth track off of Samueljones.’s EP Pathway. It is one of the older tracks of the EP, and enlists fellow Christian rapper Gabby Callwood. Sam and Gabby both rap about their faith, with Sam using the metaphor of light inside of his body to demonstrate his God-given talents.
[Chorus: Samueljones.]
I've been working through the night
Feel like I've been racing time
I don't always do it right
For this, I might lose my mind
Gotta slow down
Got this light inside of me
I gotta show now
Jesus, show me how to fight 'cause I don't know how
But he still shinin' on me
And he still fighting for me
Keeps me grindin' on the scene
[Verse 1: Samueljones.]
Yeah
He put the light on me
Was blind now my eyes can see (Whoa)
I'm up in the sky, gliding
He said "Don't you hide from me" (Yeah)
They keep tryna tear me down
But I got some deals on the table (Table)
And not by my own power, but I know that my God fully able
All these demons inside, they mocking me (Yeah)
When I have no faith
I'll say to face
You paid the cost
While I was still lost at sea (That's true)
Buried the doubts in my mind that were boxing me (Oh yeah)
Hope over hurt, man, that’s just the work of the Father God in me
Yeah
Who would've thought I woulda made it?
Was working hard in the matrix (Matrix)
When these thoughts got me jaded (Jaded)
A bigger God than He reigning (Reigning)
Becoming somebody I wanna be
You owe nobody an apology (Yeah)
My homies said that I'm a prodigy (Hey)
Jesus called me, this is prophecy
[Pre-Chorus: Samueljones.]
A 9-to-5 just ain't me
I'd like to see you try to play me
'Cause I’m on my drive, they hate me
When I'm speaking I just say it plainly
Yeah
[Chorus: Samueljones.]
I've been working through the night
Feel like I've been racing time
I don't always do it right
For this, I might lose my mind
Gotta slow down
Got this light inside of me
I gotta show now
Jesus, show me how to fight 'cause I don't know how
But he still shinin' on me
And he still fighting for me
Keeps me grindin' on the scene
[Verse 2: Gabby Callwood, Samueljones, Both]
Demons be talking but don't talk to me, yeah (Talk to me, yeah)
That's my truth and that's my honesty, yeah (That's my honesty, yeah)
No more games, no more apologies, yeah
I'm gon' reign and it's God in me, yeah
Who you root for? Who you shoot for?
Who you live your whole life, what you do for?
I done live my for the king in me
If you playing games, look at history
I done lost friends, but I gained God
I done made amends, and I been up
And I been low
And I been crossed
I don't need nobody except my Jesus (Jesus)
Haters tryna talk, please don't talk to me (Please don't talk, no)
Call God, that's how I win me (Yeah yeah yeah)
Carry me through storms, he guarding me (guarding me)
I don't need no hate, that's my honesty
[Pre-Chorus: Samueljones.]
A 9-to-5 just ain't me
I'd like to see you try to play me
'Cause I’m on my drive, they hate me
When I'm speaking I just say it plainly
Yeah
[Chorus: Samueljones.]
I've been working through the night
Feel like I've been racing time
I don't always do it right
For this, I might lose my mind
Gotta slow down
Got this light inside of me
I gotta show now
Jesus, show me how to fight 'cause I don't know how
But he still shinin' on me
And he still fighting for me
Keeps me grindin' on the scene

“Light Inside” was inspired by my intamite relationship with Jesus Christ. Many artists write about their relationship with God, but few go in depth and tell the whole story. I talk about my confidence and love for him, as well as when I wrestle with Hi...
