DIM MY LIGHT Songtext
von JasonMartin

Hey man, you know they got it out for niggas like us
You know what I′m sayin'?
And since you been doing yo′ thing, you should like, put me on, homie
And you know I've been tryna' get me money up
Nigga, hold on

I can′t get no paper with ya ′til you get your mind right
Can't have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light
Can′t get no paper with ya 'til you get your mind right
Can′t have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light

Can't get no money with ya ′til you get your mind right
Them demons that's holdin' you back still in your eyesight
Forever slackin′, dirty, mackin, just to get some limelight
Whatever, captain, we′ll make it happen whenever time's right
See me, movin′ and shakin' and playin′ with hustlers that's hustlin′
Crossin' they T's and dottin′ they I′s, and us?
Hard workers with purpose, gon' spot a clown in the circus
No matter makeup, jewelry, clout, can′t disguise


I can't get no paper with ya ′til you get your mind right
Can't have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light
Can′t get no paper with ya 'til you get your mind right
Can't have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light

I wanna help, I really really really do
But I watchin′ for a while and hustlin′ ain't really you
So buddy, do yourself a favor, find yourself something to do
Get in the mirror with the morals, watch the glue fall off your shoe
We know you stuck up in your ways still, tryna play still
Out here chasin′ around the women that's like half your age still
Because you grew up in the hood, that′s you in the cage still
Blamin' others for your fumbles, worrying ′bout some J's still
OMG
And don't try to bug my system ′cause there ain′t no hoe in me
Made it out the trenches, know that 'fore you try to go at me
Don′t be so defensive, boy the truth just sound like poetry
I guarantee this talk gon' put yo′ management where it's supposed to be

But right now?
I′ma keep it clean, bro
I got too much going on, I can't be playin' with my time right now


I can′t get no paper with ya ′til you get your mind right
Can't have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light
Can′t get no paper with ya 'til you get your mind right
Can′t have your dark clouds dim, dimming my light

Know what I'm sayin′?
It ain't that I don't wanna fuck wit′ you
I just can′t right now, know what I'm sayin′?
Like, I know, I know, I know, it was going on
But it's a lot of shit, know what I′m sayin'?
They gotta get tight, I lost your track, it tight
Know what I′m sayin'?
I know, I know, yeah we came up, yeah, yeah, I know
All that, all that, yeah, yeah, but, I got a big ass village bro
And I can't have nothin′ knockin′ off the spirit
You know what I'm sayin′? Nothing
And-and-and, and just understand, this has nothing to do wit' you
This is less about you, more about me, so
I just want ya′ll to understand that
Real nigga gon' tell you that ain′t gonna have you callin' my phone
And, and doin' all of that weirdo shit
I′ma keep it clean wit′ you
