Dim My Light

(album: Smoke Break - 2021)

Aye man
You know they got it out for niggas like us
You know what I'm saying?
Since you doing yo thang then you should like put me on
You feel me?
Man you know I've been trying to get my money right
Nigga, hold on

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light

Can't get no money with you till you get your mind right
Them demons that's holding you back still in your eyesight
Forever slacking dirty macking just to get some limelight
Whatever captain, we'll make it happen whenever time's right
See me moving and shaking and playing with hustlers that's hustling
Crossing their T's and dotting their I's and us
Hard workers with purpose gon' spot a clown in the circus
No matter makeup, jewelry, clout, can disguise

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light

I wanna help, I really really really do
But I been watching for a while and hustling ain't really you
So brodie do yourself a favo,r find yourself something to do
Get in the mirror with them morals, watch the glue fall off your shoe
We know you're stuck up in your ways still, tryna play still
Out here chasing 'round them women that's like half your age still
Think 'cause you grew up in the hood that you in a cage still
Blaming others for your fumbles worrying about some J's still, OMG
And don't try to buck my system 'cause it ain't no hoe in me
Made it out the trenches know that before 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 ass right where you supposed to be
But right now Imma keep it clean bro
I got too much going on
I can't be playing with my time
On God

I can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light
Can't get no paper with you till you get your mind right
Can't have your dark cloud dim dimming my light

You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it ain't that I don't want to fuck with you
It's just I can't right now
You know what I'm saying?
I know I know I know
You see what's going on, but it's a lot of shit and I'm saying that gotta get tight
You feel me?
Like a lot of shit you gotta get tight
You know what I'm saying?
I know I know
Yeah we came up together
Yeah I know all that all that
Yeah yeah but
I got a big ass village bro and I can't let nothing knock it off its square
You know what I'm saying?
Nothing
Just saying, this has nothing to do with you
This is less about you and more about me
So I just want you to understand that
Real nigga gon' tell you that
I ain't gon' have you calling my phone and doing all that weirdo shit
Imma keep it clean with you
