[Intro]

Really would like see the light shine

Really would like see the light shine

Really would like see the light shine

When water run dry, the light shine

When water run dry, the light shine

When water run dry, the light shine

Oh, they

[Verse 1: M.I.A.]

There's main stream

With the main dreams

But waterfalls start with a little stream

Even Kubrick started with a small scene

Before it became The Shining

If you're coming from the hood work on getting knowledge

If you're from the frontline then you wanna survive

I didn't choose the battles but the battles chose me

When the bullet first hit my cousin Willsie

I been in the game now 5.3

Lil' shorty but got shorties after me

I stay humble cause the shit I've seen

Cause I already know there's only one me

[Hook: Blaqstarr]

I really would like see the star shine

But the light getting covered up in hard time

Oh, oooh, I need to let loose

And when the water run dry, fill it up with juice

Oh, they need a believer

[Verse 2: M.I.A.]

There's no mean and there's more mean

Every tree started with a little bean

Everything you go through at 17

Will it still count at 70?

If I'm coming from the streets then I'm getting money

But my deeds in the bank are worth plenty

I didn't choose the music but the music chose me

The art of hitting your speakers making it bleed

I've been thinking about what effects me

And the will to survive is always in me

Every glass of water grows what I be

And every glass of liquor gets me tipsy

[Hook: Blaqstarr]

I really would like see the star shine

But the life getting covered up in hard time

Oh, oooh, I need to let loose

And the water run dry, fill it up with juice

Oh, they need a believer

[Verse 3: M.I.A.]

It's about people, not money

Light up parliament, turn a car key

I could be a genius, you could be a cheat

It's a thin line, I'm fucking with it

I didn't choose the struggle but the struggle chose me

I'm bouncing on the rubble permanently

I'm cut from the cloth that you ain't made me

Driving down the alley these cats know me

If it's not cool, then we bring heat

If there's no heat then it's discreet

If it's got your feet then, it's on N.E.E.T

Anything on N.E.E.T. has got that beat

[Hook: Blaqstarr]

I really would like see the star shine

But the life getting covered up in hard time

Oh, oooh, I need to let loose

And the water run dry, fill it up with juice

Oh, they need a believer
