[Verse One]

All I wanted was a record deal

A couple dollars when I got it

I couldn't understand why I still had all my problems

All alone, couldn't find no help

And the stage ain't a good place to find yourself

So I started lifting weights, hoping if I got bigger

All my confidence would too

Didn't work, go figure

Big ole' chest, hole in my heart

I even bought a chain

With ice to glow in the dark

But it didn't work though

Interrupt my work flow

And them haters talked shit

And I took it personal

But today, I feel like someone answered my prayers

I know it’s coming now so it’s cool


[Hook]

Let’s peel off a layer

To what’s underneath

What makes the real me?

I want you to see

Ma ma ma ma ma pain, my struggle

My story, my life

My heart, my spirit

My time, my fight

My flaws, my errors

My god, my life

My heart, my spirit

My time, my light

My light

Light light light

Light light light

Ma ma ma ma ma light

Light light light

Light light light


[Verse Two]

What is meant to be will be, all the rest we'll see

All the rest we'll see

Had to dream up new dreams cause I’m livin out my dreams

Alright

Let's just say it was a new beginning

I followed my heart and now I’m winning winning winning

Like I’m supposed to

Like I’m made for

Sean told me, we still the same brah

All I know is God made me good at writing songs

If you chase the wrong shit your whole life wrong

But it didn't work though, interrupt your work flow

I was on the wrong path, spinning round in circles

But today I feel like someone answered my prayers

I know it’s comin out so it’s cool
