The Light Songtext
von Big Tone

I see the light
Through the valley
Through the shadow of death

The shadows dark and the valley is deep
But I can see the light
My soul will keep
Keep walking through the night
And the dawn will surely break
The devil′s by my side
But my soul he will not take
(He will not take)

Growing up bangin' I was always taught to fight right
And how to aim a pistol as I calibrate my sights
I got my homies on my side but which ones are really loyal
I done seen so much betrayal crumble up like tin foil
Watch ′em evaporate like oil another friend I'm second guessin'
I′m just prayin′ for a sign askin' God to give a blessin′
Cause this life is gettin' rough and I′m losin' all my hope
I′m just balancin' my sanity like walkin' on a rope


Got me teared up and I choke thinkin′ about my dead friends
And my family how I miss ′em 'til the day we meet again
I′m just tryin' to make amends for all the evil that I done

Wonder if I′ll be forgiven every time I shot that gun

Man these demons wanna break me so I'm kneelin′ to the steeple
As I'm walkin' through the valley of the death I fear no evil
Can′t neglect my Desert Eagle cause there′s people out to harm ya

So strap up body armor as I do prepare for karma

The shadows dark and the valley is deep
But I can see the light
My soul will keep
Keep walking through the night
And the dawn will surely break
The devil's by my side
But my soul he will not take
(He will not take)


I′ve ran the streets with the devil and minglin' with demons
Puttin′ poison in my body as I feel the reaper creepin'
Am I sleepin′ am I dreamin' woke up sweatin' in a cell
And my mother′s broken hearted cause her only son in jail
Probably wondered how she felt I′m just tryin' to break the spell
I just pray for better days as I repent from seein′ hell
Ain't nobody here to help I done suffered all alone

I done been through so much evil that my heart became cold
As my homie lays there cold and his mother′s breakin' down
If you ever felt that pain can′t keep them tears from fallin' down
Now my town has been a curse so much crazy shit occurred
Most my homies from the past either prison or the dirt
Man this shit hurts this verse can never show the pain
All this shit from gang bangin' got me fucked up in the brain
Lost the will to trust a human and I′m paranoid as shit
Always got my pistol on me cause I vow to never slip

The shadows dark and the valley is deep
But I can see the light
My soul will keep
Keep walking through the night
And the dawn will surely break
The devil′s by my side
But my soul he will not take
(He will not take)
