Lights - Intellectual

[Intro: JT Kidd]

Yeah, you made it this far

You witness my pain and my story

But this right here, is only the beginning of a long journey

In case you didn't know by now, I'm JT Kidd

[Bridge]

This is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning

I don't even know but I'm winning

I said this is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning

I don't even know but I'm winning

(Let's Go!)

[Hook 1]

This was the lights for the New Beginning

Uh, This was the lights for the New Beginning

Uh, This was the lights for my New Beginning

Uh, This was the lights for my

This was the lights for my, Uh

This was the lights for the, New Beginning, Go!

[Verse 1]

When nobody ever believed (nope)

You shine the light when's that's all I need(yeah)

But thank God for you cause if it wasn't for you then I probably wouldn't be able to see

I was in another zone and threw on these beats

And just unleashed, upon the streets

Whoever thought that kid was weak, would rise up and become a king (uh huh)

It's cause of you, you gave me the throne

And made it known,that I came to own

It will be shown, when these lights are on

They keep me from turning to stone (Let's go!)

I feel it in my bones

Man, I'm close, I came from below

And now I have hope

Imma do things cause they said no, I need to prove them wrong, so I wrote this song(uh huh)

Never be stopped by what you can do, just be fueled on what you can't do

I overcame these obstacles, just know that you can too

What you get you don't want (want), and what you want you don't get (get)

And life has no remote, so I had to get up and change it

So shout out to Lucid (Lucid) Krazy (Krazy) and EM

Anyone going against my team, we beat them

It only takes one night to take your heart away (uh huh)

But it only takes one light to take the dark away (Thanks cause you show me the lights)

[Hook 2]

You shine the lights for me, You shine em bright for me

[Verse 2]

You kept it summer when I didn't want autumn

And the haters you turned the lights off on them

Through the rise and grind, you was by my side

You kept me alive, when I almost died

And I, can't repay that debt

I have a message, they don't respect it yet

Whether you do or you don't you never left

When it was dark, you shined these lights, now I'm feeling blessed

And I, was in the back of the class alone with a dream of making it

Right now, these haters never ever taking it

They ain't breaking it, they must be mistaken this

I am a small kid, with a big dream

With a small clique tryna be on big screens

Against rappers with small passion and a big team, saying what they don't mean, and pretending like they know things

That is most of rap, the ones held down are spitting facts

They can't hold us down why can't they just get that

I wanna see, good MC's, on TV, not fake rappers depending on the beat

The real ones hustling tryna to sell on CD, these fake rappers wack what they're doing is easy

But I'm not a sellout, just give me a mic

And I'll spit what's real and give all of y'all the lights

[Hook 3]

I'll shine the light for you, I'll shine em bright for you

[Outro]
