[Intro: Big Sean]
Uh-huh, is it time?
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Gm Am A# Am
Look, I spent my whole life tryna improvise
Cm
I'm not saying that shit for you to sympathize
Gm Am A# Am
Spent my whole life tryna find the light that's at the end of the tunnel
Cm
I should have realized it was inside
Gm Am A# Am
So lately I been trying to get what's inside outside
Cm
So many people wanna see my insides outside
Gm Am A# Am
I'm from that city four hours east of Southside
Cm
Where everyone outside, but don't fuck with no outsiders
Gm Am A# Am
Going up, with the ones I hold it down with
Cm
Whole city got my back on some photobomb shit
Gm Am A# Am
Whole city blowing up on some old Saddam shit
Cm
Before this I was the one hoes tried to go to prom with
[Refrain: Big Sean]
Gm Am A# Am
You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars
Cm
Now we gotta take the train, hood niggas takin' chains
Gm Am A# Am
Slave master take our names, 5-0 take the shot
Cm
And young souls take the blame, man but they can't take away
The light
[Hook: Jeremih & Big Sean]
Gm Am A# Am
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Cm
No, man they can't fuck with the light
Gm Am A# Am
They can't stop the shine
Cm
They can't fuck with the light
Gm Am A# Am
Hell nah the boy's that bright
Cm
Even if you take away my life, you can't take the light
Gm Am A# Am
No matter how much they gon' shade you
Cm
[Verse 2: Big Sean]
Gm Am A# Am
Got the whole city on fire
Cm
Boy, this the flow that got Steph Curry inspired
Gm Am A# Am
This the flow that got Lebron James finna rewire
Cm
This the flow that got my whole family finna retire
Gm Am A# Am
Flows on flows, I might drown in this bitch
Cm
Ye found a pro, I guess I'm profound in this bitch
Gm Am A# Am
My dad from Louisiana, man the smallest town
Cm
Where if they know you're brown, they might hold you down and even hose you down, man
Gm Am A# Am
Since I'm his son, I feel like I gotta stunt hard
Cm
I took the hand that they gave me and played the Donald Trump card
Gm Am A# Am
And realized counting money never feel as good as counting blessings
Cm
And a loaded mind is more dangerous than a loaded weapon
[Refrain: Big Sean]
Gm Am A# Am
You know, take the fame, take the crib, take our cars
Cm
Now we gotta take the train, hood niggas takin' chains
