Letras

[Verse 1]

Oh, oh I'm coming home

The night is young

Oh, shine your light

[Verse 2]

For me when I'm out in the streets

Ends justify means when you making a meet

When you losing the sleep that you saying you need

But what good is rest when it's family to feed

When there's money to get, when it's dollars to count

Fuck a job, you never raised for large amounts

Keep the lights on, front door locked

'Cause the villains in the wilderness, lotta George Zimmermans

Damned we so innocence

So that mean he still out on the prowl for a black child

While the judge and jury crack smile, Lord

Keep the lights burning

[Verse 3]

Oh, I'm coming home

I'm coming home

The road is long

The night is young

The night is young

Somewhere in America

Say, say your prayers

Shine a light for me

[Verse 4]

For me when I'm out on the creep

Do whatever to get a meal when you barely can eat

I'm determined to fight the power to further the peace

Mama scared the police might make a point out of me

It gets hard to sleep, living life in a daze

When kings wanna be ****, I hope it's phase

Queens down to be hoes as long as they pay

Chained to our oppressor, oh man, we slaves

Who wants to be saved

When they claim that the prayers that we pray go unheard

In these God forgotten days, just in case

Keep the lights burning

[Verse 5]

Oh, I'm coming home

I'm coming home

The road is long

The night is young

The night is young

Somewhere in America

Say, say your prayers

Shine a light for me

[Verse 6]

For me when I barely can smile

And the sun refuse to shine when I'm out in the wild

And the raindrops tap the window pane on my room

Sacred I lost faith, pray I find God soon

In a world full of alt-rights I was left field

Black man born poor, I was black steel

Black man born free, this how blessed feel

Because my dreams are dreams, don't make them less real

Nightmares are still the same thing

I've fallen from grace, wishing I had wings

Like a dunk in the Summer but I ain't had Spring

'Cause all that runnin' from trouble'll give you bad knees

Now how can I make a move without a play

I got freedom of speech but with nothing to say

'Cause all that workin' for something but it barely can pay

What they glimmer of heaven giving me everyday

So I wade in the water

Filled with the sharks, snakes, gators, and piranhas

Till the higher, higher ground of the mountaintop

Way from the shooters that's down for shooing to take a shot

'Cause they believe in everything they ever heard

From the bigots and racists that twisting every word

So, a hotel balcony could be the end

Or a podium speaking for family and friends

[Verse 7]

So won't you keep that light, light, light

Keep that light, light, light, light burnin' for me

So won't you keep that light, light, light

Keep that light, light, light, light burnin' for me

[Verse 8]

I'm coming home

The road is long

The night is young

The night is young

Somewhere in America

Say, say your prayers

Shine a light

Say your prayers

Shine a light

Shine your light for me

For me

For, for me

Oh
