[verse 1: bas]
I stood patient, never fold, circumnavigate the globe, i got the midas touch
My diamond hands created gold, i used to line the dutch
And split it up and roll an eighth or more, these days, i like to face my sober thoughts
I still get high, i'm just not ducking all my lows
I had to roll the runts and spill a little grabba for the fallen ones
And all the months that passed, ten years to be exact
I see success that i've amassed with my chosen ones
Riyadh city to japan, new york city to sudan
How many languages to tell you he's the man? i lost
Slept on me like nigga on them xans, that's your loss
I've been paying all the dues to be the boss and it cost
[chorus: bas]
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way (yeah)
[verse 2]
If there's a will, there's a way, i had to wake up and pray
Didn't care about a long time, i pray for quicker escapes
I encounter the states, smoking 'til i see outer-space
Travel 'round the world, but somehow, come right back to this place
Someone act like they 'bout to be go and do background checks, some boss's pet, 433
Baski, g up, fam', let me place edm, ain't no pressin' me, i'm on go, though
Me and bro locked, [1:27][?]
Cr7 and benzy, hard times, seen plenty
I'ma shoot 'til the tide gets empty, nigga, no benzine, hmm
I'ma call up [jeed?][1:34], i'ma fly out to the yard
Window seat, view of the stars, be healing my scars
I don't want to live in the past
But things get dark, but word to bas
You might be the light that leads the way
And the darkness turns the day
And your problems fade away
[chorus: bas]
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way
[verse 3]
Uh, cuttin' corners, i never wanted
G. washington carver, nurture the ground i'm on to eventually harvest
Free ranges, the lakes, and fauna, these days, my domain is calmer
So i can't entertain the drama, meditate, entertain nirvana
Gee, toriyama, draw from trauma to form a manga
Keep my peace with a code of honor, soak my feet in the holy water
Delete my people, the more rwanda like rebuild (do you really think that can happen?)
Sure, actively laying the track and i don't just rap on the rapper's repertoire
Count what you have 'fore you ask for more
Back when i asked for the shit i have now
When my pop's said, "coming from a past of poor ac, disease and lack of cures"
Land of vvs, still just glad for tvs with no crackle noise
Legends backed by tracks and homemade cds stashed inside of storage
Never had stats, but always had the passion for running back and forth
I've imagine scorin' over again and again, and again 'til i crash the boards
Broke through the glass, then i glanced and saw
Dudes out the mall running back to it
And i can't understand why that happens
Even when the bag secure, but the trap obscure
[chorus: bas]
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way
If you think you in the darkness, look around you
You might be the light to lead the way
The one that help your people see the way
Where there's a will, there's got to be a way, be a way, be a way
