[Refrain: Jack Davey & Che Noir]
Guide us (Yeah)
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Guide us
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Guide us
Light will guide us (Uh)
[Verse 1: Che Noir]
Yeah, look, ambitious with a drive that ain't known for parkin'
A poet's artist, got my startup in an old apartment
I was broke and starvin', layin' blankets on the molded carpet
My faith was small as a mustard seed, tryna grow and harvest
Blood spillin' like paint when they load and grip triggers
Like a work of art when they draw it, it's like a stick figure
Comparisons can't be drawn because the page tear
I paint a picture through words just from a blank stare
The same color as Jodie Landon
Country club meetings just to discuss all the goals we plannin'
Scrollin' through Zillow, lookin' and pricin' out cozy mansions
Travelin' city to city, so on the road, we campin' with low advantage
Dividends grind, that's the shares when the checks get cleared
Backstage and I'm catchin' stares, rappers stressin', scared
From rappers I expected fear, what's the question here?
She comin' for my throne? Well, I turn that to an electric chair
Five years since I been in this shit
Now it's harder for me to see where I fit into this shit
I hate these industry games, I ain't in the mood to be buddy-buddy
Shit, I ain't did an interview since like 2020
My closest friends were the people who caused me grief
But the price of payback can equate to a Ponzi scheme
Went to school, studied psychology, gave me modesty
All it taught me was the dichotomy of democracy, that's facts
[Chorus: Jack Davey & Che Noir]
I see the light in you
Do you see the light in me too?
I do, I do, I do
I see the light in you
Do you see the light in me too?
I do, I do, I do (Uh, look)
[Verse 2: Che Noir]
Grew up around uncles who teachin' actions and choices
So every time I came around, they would ask to meet boyfriends
Luxurious lifestyles of the Blackest coined voices
Marble floors on water full of Japanese koi fish
My luxuries leave 'em mentally, just guidin' my pain
It's like an apartment complex inside of my brain
My sins livin' rent-free, I felt abandoned and scared
So I'm somewhere chillin', hidin' from the man upstairs
We exist in a world that's bleak and bliss, sleep in tents
Twin beds with cousins that reek of piss, speak with sense
Problem what they thinkin' is deep is dense
Never live my life by the book, so my knowledge came from readin' lips
That's right, bad traditions on wealth, so we try to prove we rich
People stuck in positions, they scared of losin' it
Leader stifled by yes-men with no truth or sense
Consequences of hangin' with people who ain't used to shit
I was taught never tell a lie
They told me time is money, my response is I'm sellin' rhymes
When it rains, it pours 'til the water run desert dry
If I could rob a bank, I would try to embezzle time
They told me time is a luxury, it was never loved by the poor, abused
Punchin' the clock so much, it turned us to sore losers
We all waitin' for our time, you gotta stand in line
But I stood so long, I held a grudge with the hands of time, that's facts
[Chorus: Jack Davey]
I see the light in you
Do you see the light in me too?
I do, I do, I do
I see the light in you
Do you see the light in me too?
I do, I do, I do
[Refrain: Jack Davey]
Guide us
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Guide us
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Light will guide us
Guide us
Light will guide us
[Outro]
Well, wasn't it Shakespeare who said when strangers do meet in far-off lands, they should ere long see each other again?
I'll always love you
Don't you see what a wonderful thing this can be?
I'll never take it off, no matter what happens
What's the matter, darling?
I wanna enjoy it, have fun, live like every day's the last day
Wouldn't that be nice?
My husband said, "I love you, will you marry me?"
He did? What happened?
I married him
