[Rico Love:]
Life is vivid when seen through the eyes of a righteous spirit they try to show us da light but we dont like to hear it
momma told me i was bright but dispite her lyrics a large hurt across my sight i had to fight to clear it
like a runner a couple of summers i often wondered if it really was winning N
thats when i heard da thunder a current was accuring it was stirring up my hunger but i couldnt let the *shit* burry a *nigga* under (dont let it)
used to cry hopin all diz would pass and then i learned to use my tears to water up da grass
so part of my swag but
apparently i won cuz i took my shades off and now im starrin at the sun
See all the things i heard bout
Im seeing da light (im seein da light)
im realizing dat its me in da light
see all the things i read about
i read bout it, i heard about it
i seen the light
and now i kno
[BRIDGE: CHRIS BROWN]
I coulda did wrong
i seen alot a people hustle
but i left them things alone
i almost lost my friend to da struggle but i guess dat made me strong (made me strong)
i seen a whole lotta drama and it taught me how to fight
(taught me how to fight)
and i thank god for my momma she showed me what was right
i coulda been in da dark
but thank god for da light
(i seen da light)
See all the things i heard bout
all da things i heard bout
see all the things i read about
i read about it, i read about it
i seen the light
i see the light, i see the light
