lyrics
even though im in the dark, im still gone see the light,
yeah i gotta put my shades on, cus my future so bright, my future so bright
this is for the ones who tried to leave me for the crows,
left my ass for dead expected me to break & fold,
gotta say thanks you gave me a chance to grow,
and i said yes to success while yall was sayin fuck no,
i'm too old for using others lives as measuring sticks,
rather be a better me than a jealousy filled trick,
you could have a bigger bank account a 6 story mansion,
but if you dont got love in your heart then you dont have shit,
and you could have the shit i got if it was meant to be,
but you aint on the shit im on cos baby you aint me,
& i can feel the freeze from ya cold ass shoulder,
but it cant phaze me cos i was born in minnesota,
and i know they hate it, grinnin wit they two faced smile,
but i still got real people ones who stayed down,
its bout to git brighta, gotta block the U.V. rays,
even though im in the dark im still gone put on my shades
even though im in the dark, im still gone see the light,
yeah i gotta put my shades on, cus my future so bright, my future so bright
future so bright like the sun through a telescope,
homie i aint sellin dope im only blowin hella smoke,
they aimin for my ventricle thinkin im expendable,
i'm breakin shit irreprable ya need to take a mental note
they sent joe dro to hell i only came back lookin bronzer,
broke me down but now, i rebuilt myself stronger,
suckas tryna cheat to beat me, old school contra,
im 4 years ahead of yall, leapin thru the quantum
a whole lotta wannabes, wish me death like bronson,
wanna run me through the gauntlet stop my rocketship from launchin,
but im already moonwalkin, so your plots already foiled,
king me now muthafucka not from K.C. but im royal,
and i'm loyal to myself and the faith i found within,
cuz if i cant do shit for self, i cant do shit fo my kin,
do not adjust ya lense whatcha seein is the radiance,
shinin ultraviolet gotchu blinded by the greatness bitch
even though im in the dark, im still gone see the light,
yeah i gotta put my shades on, cus my future so bright, my future so bright
gotta put my shades on
gotta put my shades on
gotta get my shades on oooohh ohhhh ohhh ohh onnn shades on etc
