The Lights
Whenever I wake up try and take the shape of
Turn into the whole wide world I made up
Hello, my name's Witty
I'm fucking half sane trying to play me
Well you ain't playing with the game
Imma show you what I got and
What I got is everything
And I'm rapping with words full
Of forces that sting
Lemme take you way back to the beginning
Understand me and the life that I was living
I was only bout eleven and
I moved eleven times
Bunch of different schools
I ain't trying fucking whine
But I'm showing you my life
Had to make a picture, school wasn’t easy
Kids like to pick you apart
I'm a easy target high voice as a start
Long hair doesn’t help high socks torn apart
But, ended up where I think I kinda fit in
Made a couple friends
Everything was beginning
Not Charlie Sheen but I felt
Like I was winning but it doesn’t end there
Fat ladie's not singing
Had to move again, I moved in with my grandma
Things got rough there she wasn’t a fan of me
Or anything I do we would often argue
I just get home from school
And she'd already be yelling
That could last all night
Just a brief overview you
All understand right?
One weekend, everything really went south
My mom, sister arrived, came home
The locks changed on the house
That led to another move, another school
And I had to leave my friends
A place I was finally cool
And at this new school it was much bigger
Didn’t know many there but I figured
That I would meet people
Everything would be fine
So I went to school did my
Work and in the meantime
Made a few friends, but I didn’t belong
Met a few girls all of them did me wrong
School flew by and soon I was out
Wanted to learn more so I
Took the college route
And by now everything had settled down
Searching for something and myself
Is what I found two years in college as I
Focused on my studies
I still was missing something
I was still hungry
Started making music then everything clicked
Spit a couple bars people
Saying that I'm sick
So I thought I'd test it and in steps Witty
And of course I got haters
People saying that I'm shitty
But I dealt with the haters like
The bullies in the past
Turn around told them all they
Could all kiss my ass
The positive response was enough to outweigh
In one summer got a show and I made a mixtape
Which is not an achievement
It's just a start
Now I'm rapping with passion and
I'm full of fucking heart
The past isn’t easy but that’s how you learn
I'm on this ride of life
Now I'm taking my turn
That brings us full circles to
Where were at now
Here with this pen and paper
Just sitting on the couch
Turning off the lights from the past
Now lights for the future
Lets make them last now
Lets make them last now
Lets make them last now make em last now
