AJ Blu - UTSL2 Lyrics

Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights
Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights
It's Blu
My journey been treacherous
Maneuvering blocks like Tetris
Flipping the script cause I'm dexterous
Alone on my own is my preference
Watch ya tone, don't condone all the extra-ness
Alcapone, in my zone counting presidents
Milestones f*cking beats like I'm naturist
Now I know that a nigga can't step to this
Trotted snow, in the cold, no coat
Back on the ropes, in hopes I can write Exodus
And I know all my niggas gon' second this
Living broke with no hope, selling weed, moving coke
Never not knowing what the weapons is
Lost my brother, now my pain on my flesh
I wish we didn't have to grip on the tech and rip
At night I feel fright, yet I step right in
Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights, yeah
Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights
I need a mountain of money for days I was broke
Coming home in a day through the haze of the smoke
My lungs set ablaze, it ain't phasing me though
Only way we escape all the pain in our soul
Resorting to flour, the liquid, the powder
We ain't got no power, they make sure of that
Give low funds an hour, keep us out them towers
It's hard to survive when you young and you black
That's why we stay strapped and we act how we act
Our families on crack or in cells, this is hell
Come back then relapse, straight snap off the jack
The system has failed, they just shrug it so well
I'ma forge my own path, observing and learning
I'm dodging the traps, assuredly burning
These mics with these raps, I gotta get rich
And spread wealth and give back
That's why I never slack
I dropped my first tape like a decade ago
My mama gave me cash, then I paid the flow
Obliterate the session, then the stage I go
Had to learn a lesson when I ain't take the gold
I was made for this
That's why my only options are the grave or this
I grew up without shit, so my attitude is
F*ck you, pay me bitch
Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights, yeah
Under street lights, I shine bright
Under these lights, I rhyme tight
Got lost in darkness, trying to gain sight
Became heartless, trying to play the game right
Under street lights
Under these lights, uh
