I'm a beacon in the night
When it's dark you see me shine
I ain't gonna live to stay alive
Nothing's gonna get me
Ooh, feels like I got my throat against a knife
Ooh, I wasn't made to live an ordinary life
I don't never use brakes, I don't never take breaks
Get the fuck up out my face, I'ma break shit
Smoke a ounce not an eighth, I get mine everyday
If I want it I'ma motherfucking take it
What you know about going out making everything you want?
Used to have to call the weed man
Now I'm the plug moving pounds out in public
Used to run away from it, now I'm getting love
Who the one that made millions off of bud when they said it was a drug?
Who the one that hit the stage high as fuck everyday and give love?
I'm a beacon in the night
When it's dark you see me shine
I ain't gonna live to stay alive
Nothing's gonna get me
Ooh, feels like I got my throat against a knife
Ooh, I wasn't made to live an ordinary life
What you know about love when you're hated by race?
They don't care about faith, they just made up their face
Hundred dollar bills green, do you know what I mean?
Hollow words don't matter, they've got no color
Like a wiz in the quiz, squeeze every penny
'Cause I can't feed my family with the Grammy's
I used to be a wannabe industry stranger
Now I'm major independent danger
I'm a beacon in the night
When it's dark you see me shine
I ain't gonna live to stay alive
Nothing's gonna get me
Ooh, feels like I got my throat against a knife
Ooh, I wasn't made to live an ordinary life
No they don't want me to win
But I can still feel alive
No they don't want me to win
But I can still feel alive
No they don't want me to win
But I can still feel alive
No they don't want me to win
But I can still feel alive
I'm a beacon in the night
When it's dark you see me shine
I ain't gonna live to stay alive
Nothing's gonna get me
Ooh, feels like I got my throat against a knife
Ooh, I wasn't made to live an ordinary life
