Euphorium (Back to the Light)

[Verse 1] There once was a man who would cry out his eyes Laughing and singing his sorrow, tomorrow, and time after time Somewhere, lost in his mind Back at the scene of the crime Walking, in search of a friend for the night Between a rock and a quarry Oh, sorry, but you're not my type I won't put up a fight [Refrain] Please lead me back to the light Please lead me back [Verse 2] Back to the light Back to the track with a knack for your type Flashback to my black bachelor life That I left in the past with the passion of Christ A massive assassin on past international nights Fuck your feelings, we ain't talking about fear And no, my niggas not talking 'bout beer When they say that they got a taste for a "natural light" Don't let your impulse make you a slave Don't let it take you away, to a place with an ace And a spade, where you ache for the sake Making in a year what they make in a day Locked in a cage with your generational rage Hate generates renegades Showing their ass to the crowd 'cause they can't take it to the stage Been feeling real good, man, when I see myself First time in my life feeling like I can finally be myself Cashews on special, shit, I might treat myself I drop science, not history, bitch – I don't repeat myself Nigga be mad I said it, y'all niggas not gon' set it Y'all niggas wait for permission to engage Motherfucker, I been wedded In your DNA, I'm embedded Rap game Sallie Mae, y'all indebted Pray to the Lord for a course that'll feed me Long as it leads me [Refrain] Please lead me back to the light Please lead me back to the light [Outro: Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson] If you are on the receiving end of this message Congratulations, you made it
