Light up the Sky (Alternate Version) Lyrics

Till we light up the sky

We makin' moves, we payin' dues

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We do our thang, we'll prove our strength

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We play to win, we'll make it big

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We know our worth, we'll show the world

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We knew from a certain age the world's a stage

Might not like what you see when the curtain's raised

I heard 'em say you gotta learn to play this dirty game

'Cause you ain't earnin' fame based on how you turn a phrase

You try to work your way to some worthy praise

They'll try to lure you straight to an early grave

Make sure you behave certain ways, they prefer you fake

But love is the perfect way to cure the hate

I'm glad I found it, I'm happy now, and I can be proud with

The raps I'm shoutin', the classic sound, and the fact the crown fits

They had me doubtin' I had the prowess to pass the mountain

Lookin' back astounded, I finally found this path around it

It ain't the same, it's safe to say we'll shed some tears

I pray your name won't fade away, the Smoke will never clear

Stay focused, gave roses to the legends here

Before they go 'cause you never know when the end is near

We makin' moves, we payin' dues

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We do our thang, we'll prove our strength

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We play to win, we'll make it big

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We know our worth, we'll show the world

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

If you ain't number one, you're just another zero

Death defyin', one on one, like I'm Brother Nero

I'm Goldberg to old nerds; yo, I come to spear foes

They don't learn, I'm here to let the public hear growth

Play your position, remain resilient and trust as peers glow

Made in His image, He takes the realest, we're stuck with weirdos

It takes a village to raise these children, tough but fearful

The faith of millions, they hate the villain but love the hero

Choose a lane, but who's to say which is which?

We can shoot the fade or you can pitch a fit

I'm the antithesis to clueless lames and hypocrites

An antidote to ignorance, a chance to quote magnificence

We bear the cross, it's a scary thought to live through

We share a bond and we share a box of tissues

Prepared or not, beware the odds against you

We're very lost, we'll miss you; the Marathon continues

We makin' moves, we payin' dues

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We do our thang, we'll prove our strength

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We play to win, we'll make it big

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We know our worth, we'll show the world

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

Here's a toast to all the people we lost

I'm completely in shock, why'd you take PnB Rock?

It's a cold world when you go out to eat and get robbed

And your own girl might end up bein' the reason you shot

It's a tragedy, I can't believe it's such a dangerous job

To rap to beats, dance and sing, and entertain with a song (damn!)

You put a smile on our face now you gone

They wait and they plot and we end up payin' the cost

The devil's workin' overtime and Satan is strong

No mercy like Cobra Kai for the snakes in the lawn

Can't even go outside 'less your location is off

They hate when you on your way to the top, they play us for pawns

I'm prayin' to God, hopin' the violence subsides

The diamonds you buy are not worth the price of your life

For your child to cry, askin' God "Why did he die?"

Rest In Peace, in heaven, king; light up the sky

We makin' moves, we payin' dues

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We do our thang, we'll prove our strength

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We play to win, we'll make it big

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

We know our worth, we'll show the world

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky

We just wanna shine till we light up the sky

Light up the sky, light up the sky
