[Verse 1: Will C.]
This little light of mine
Is trying not to be influenced by them dollar signs
I wanna make it with this music 'fore I'm outta time
But I could never walk this earth and be without a dime
I need all of mines
[Hook: Will C., Kyle Ringer]
But if you don't call back tonight it's all right
It's all right
I just wanna let you know that I am alright
Alright
But if you don't call back tonight it's all right
It's all right
I just wanna let you know that I am alright
Alright
[Verse 2: Will C.]
The devil is real but God is bigger
I been snapping so much but I lost the picture
Like the bigger scheme, I forgot about the bigger dream
You gotta play another season after you get the ring
Did you plan for it I'm just wondering?
Did you stand tall or fall to your knees?
Did you face it all or did you cop a plea?
Did you stay yourself when it's hard to be?
Did you jump in action there or did you freeze?
My buddy is gone, the money don't last
I'm getting it first, that's just what I'm on
(What do you really want in life?)
A house and a car
Lotta things spilling out of the top
My cup runneth over, I'm thankful to God
So many failures, I'm just happy I'm not
Watermark so they know who we are
Dancing with the devil, left me too hot
Just be careful when you dance with a star
I don't think that you can tango with God
Cold shoulder, now that see that I'm cold
It's one direction cause there's nowhere to go
Don't compare me, I'm not like other folks
Same era, I just turned to a pro
(What does that mean?)
I don't know
No one helping when they see that I'm broke
More applause just for doing the most
When you get the bread they give you a toast
[Hook: Will C., Kyle Ringer]
But if you don't call back tonight it's all right
It's all right
I just wanna let you know that I am alright
Alright
But if you don't call back tonight it's all right
It's all right
I just wanna let you know that I am alright
Alright
[Bridge 1: SerenaTheKid, Kyle Ringer, Will C.]
(She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up)
(Just one touch)
(She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up)
(Just one touch)
[Bridge 2: Will C., Kyle Ringer]
This little light of mine, gotta find my way
This little light of mine
This little light of mine, gotta find my way
This little light of mine
[Verse 1: Will C.]
This little light of mine
Is trying not to be influenced by them dollar signs
I wanna make it with this music 'fore I'm outta time
But I could never walk this earth and be without a dime
I need all of mines
[Outro: Snoh Aalegra]
Memories fading, I try to hold on
When I don't know where I belong
No more
