About This Track

'BEAMLIGHT' by Jay Prince is a Hip-Hop/Rap track from the 2019 EP 'WONDER - EP'. The lyrics find the narrator rising early and moving through a city that feels both familiar and hard, with worries about family, repeated pressure, and the temptation of doing things “for the bag”. There is a direct, questioning tone throughout, asking why things have to stay the way they are, even as the narrator tries to keep faith that it will turn out alright.

Lyrics

BEAMLIGHT

Yeah, I come alive, seven forty five
Early in the morning, but me feeling like the guy
How many times see my momma cry?
Tell her everything gon' be (Everything gon' be) alright
Why you gotta be like that?
At the end of the city in the trap
Everybody wanna do it for the bag
But ain't nobody wanna take it where it's at (My goodness)
Yeah he get like that, yeah he get like that
Giving you time to decide your truth
Yeah I've been around and I've made my moves
It's about time that I felt like Ike
But I can't be that dude 'til me pay my dues
Always in a flex
You can always tell 'cause they learned at the next
Oh, what a mess

You got it, don't drop it (They be, they be, they be)
They be watching (Every moment) every single moment
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know

Yeah, this is what we do (Ayy)
This is who we knew (Yeah)
Yeah started off with nothing (Ayy)
Now we up to something
Now they wanna love him
Now they wanna trust him
Now they wanna roll
Now they wanna smoke
Now I really got things to think about, who's around me I know
And who's around me I trust
And who's around me that loves
This shit is gets so real I get no feeling sometimes
And I don't mean it sometimes
But we need meaning sometime
Never easy keepin' the demons out of reach, need a preacher sometimes
And I need believing sometime
Can you please believe me one time

You got it, don't drop it (They be, they be, they be)
They be watching (Every moment) every single moment
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
Yeah, I'm on a beamlight, whoa
Go, they know
