Lyrics Outro: Dawn - Light

I used to sit in the back of class and zone out
Just thinkin' bout my family back at home now
Not knowin' what life had in store for me
I normally would question if that path that I was on
All for me
Importantly
Used to see the other kids spend their money on alcohol
And I thought all that shit was funny
The pennies in my palm were all for studies
So I never spent the shit less I was feelin' hungry
Used to see the Shadys, the Hopsins, the Logics
Write out all my poems, my options, my problems
Remember when my notebook was all that I gotted
But then I got a job and my dream got (started)
Spent my checks on my music and I started to do it
But music and schooling conflicted so much that it was useless
I tried so hard to balance the two of em
But it would ruin one
And dammit I put my health on the line so I could do em both
And I would stay up till the crack of dawn
All night rappin' songs
Had a class at 7
That's alright
I'll sleep an hour long
Heart grew strong
From all the effort I would put to my songs
Move along like it's nothing but inside I'm losin' wars
One morning I fainted exhausted and drained
When I fell to the ground I awakened
On the bathroom floor my eyes were strainin'
My mind was scrapin' just tryna understand
Couldn't do this anymore
So I dropped college
Chose my heart and ran from there

The light came through when the darkness closed in
Put my faith in myself when no one care to show it
Never losin' focus
Stood up didn't fold in
Working through the night until the light would show at
Dawn at Dawn
That's when it dawned on me
Dawn at Dawn
No one stopping me
Dawn at Dawn
Spread my wings to reach
Dawn at Dawn
Dawn Dawn
Dawn at Dawn
That's when it dawned on me
Dawn at Dawn
That's what my mama say
Dawn at Dawn
Spread my wings to reach
Dawn at Dawn
Dawn Dawn

Never sleepin' yet I continue to stay dreaming
Continue to stay driven
Continue to aim bigger
When the times are getting' rough
Pay attention who stay witchya
Cause fake ones'll fade quicker
While the real ones in the same picture
This past year I'm livin' has a different resonation
Findin' myself in the midst of all of this frustration
Spend all my time amassing the dreams that I've been chasing
But have no idea where the fuck is my destination
Told my parents they'd retire early and I'd make it for them
So I keep on workin' even when my head starts to spin
Motivation's shit without commitment
But when you got both your life becomes so much different
This Mixtape
My blood, sweat, and tears in every verse
And every chorus
And every single breath I breathe between the bars
My visions far, far away
Swear that they could never see
Everyone got they own advice but they don't see what I see
Don't wanna hear it at all
My self-belief don't see a mirror to yalls
Push fear to the wall, My ear to my heart
As I listen to the sound of my own truth
Every night I'm spittin' till the sun shines on my roof
As dawn breaks through and the light starts to shine
I can feel my tired mind but my lips part and smile
Everyday that I'm grindin'
Crawlin' out the miles
It's another day closer to my dreams becomin' my life

The light came through when the darkness closed in
Put my faith in myself when no one care to show it
Never losin' focus
Stood up didn't fold in
Working through the night until the light would show at
Dawn at Dawn
That's when it dawned on me
Dawn at Dawn
No one stopping me
Dawn at Dawn
Spread my wings to reach
Dawn at Dawn
Dawn Dawn
Dawn at Dawn
That's when it dawned on me
Dawn at Dawn
That's what my mama say
Dawn at Dawn
Spread my wings to reach
Dawn at Dawn
Dawn Dawn
