[Hook]

I’m just tryna glow

They was tryna dim my light

So I had to to let em go

I’m not the one to play games with

Just to let you know

And I’ma make it happen

And I put that on my soul

Put that on my soul

Yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1]

I been the man since the age of 9

And been a man since the age of 5

Remember momma screaming and crying

She on the phone, her sister said

Her brother died

That very moment I knew

That I had to go for mine

And ain’t nobody finna stop my shine

Take a look up at the clock

I think it’s bout that time

A decade and a year straight

I been on my grind

Putting pen to the paper

Tryna speak life through these lines

Know one day we gon be fine

[Hook]

I’m just tryna glow

They was tryna dim my light

So I had to to let em go

I’m not the one to play games with

Just to let you know

And I’ma make it happen

And I put that on my soul

Put that on my soul

Yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

I stay away from the bottle

Cuz I seen people turn hollow

They drown they self in that liquor

Just tryna swim from they problems

The surest way to destruction

Is just repeating the cycle

I’d made a vow that I’d break it

I put my hand on the bible

Wanna keep me a nigga

They wanna keep me a victim

They wanna see us in bondage

They wanna keep us in prison

Wanna keep all my freedom

They wanna blurry my vision

But I refuse to get got

So I keep that shit out my system

[Hook]

I’m just tryna glow

They was tryna dim my light

So I had to to let em go

I’m not the one to play games with

Just to let you know

And I’ma make it happen

And I put that on my soul

Put that on my soul

Yeah yeah yeah
