Light Show Songtext
von Akintoye

Nah-nah-nah-nah, get up, get up
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, get up
Alright

Potential perspectives shiftin′, half of it predetermined
The rest of it left to pigment
Heavin' these hooks in the ocean, hope the intent of fishin′
Reelin' in realism, cut the lights where potential missin'

Sneakin′ to see the homies, let evil agenda slip in
They wanna go catch ′em slippin', before they get shipped to prison
I try to be level headed, cool when the drama set in
The search for belongin′ could be my endin' if I′ma let it

Stuck in the middle seat, big homies belittled me
Know they need me for purpose and so they play me like middle C
Provoke 'em on purpose, push every visible button until he pressurized
We prone to pettiness, it ain′t no differences to set aside

A brief exchange of fated collisions before they let it fly
When you escape from death too many times, you think you'll never die
If God was really watchin' all his work and sees impurities through better eyes
He′s wrong for leavin′ black boys weaponized


Vision activated when the sun down
Dancin' with the demons to the night glow
Beatin′ on the window like a drum line
Faces congregatin' when my eyes close
And I been out here waitin′ for the right time
It ain't no GPSing where we might go
King of diamonds waitin′ for the light shine
And I been gettin' ready for the light show

And I been gettin' ready for the light show
And I been gettin′ ready for the light show
And I been out here waitin′ for the right time
It ain't no GPSing where we might go
King of diamonds waitin′ for the light shine
And I been gettin' ready for the light show

Potential perspectives shiftin′, half of it predetermined
The rest of it left to pigment
Chokin' the truer me, suit and tie never suited me
Did my schoolin′ in private, and publicly they abusin' me

We wear uniformity to display opportunity
But the truth is we foolishly idolize who we foolin', see
I sit and reminisce on all the places I used to be
Tryna see if my youth could be enough for a eulogy

I search for analogies to convey commonalities
Put the pain into metaphors with the hope they gon′ get me more
Search for understandin′, open handed, my shoulders sore
Tryna play the game be hard as fuck when you know the score


Accordin' to normal, I′m down and out, and the clock is ending
They struggle with comprehending, the premise of not pretending
Perpetuate propaganda
Presumptions of people who fallin' victim to systems that take away
And they never can see the difference

They incentivize, stir the hate to energize
Praise for those who memorize and squeeze enough to televise
Feed your fear of fallin′, so you never rise
Degrees of separation, can't maintain in education, then you ill-advised

Fuck a politician, bitch, they only serve to minimize
Feed the people silly lies to keep the peace in city lines, I see inside
If God was really watchin′ all his work and sees impurities through better eyes
He's wrong for leavin' black boys weaponized

Vision activated when the sun down
Dancin′ with the demons to the night glow
Beatin′ on the window like a drum line
Faces congregatin' when my eyes close
And I been out here waitin′ for the right time
It ain't no GPSing where we might go
King of diamonds waitin′ for the light shine
And I been gettin' ready for the light show
