Light Attracts Light & Everything Else Too ft. SoulChef Lyrics

Being an independent Hip-Hop artist has taught me more about loving without expectations than anything else

"Be the music you want to hear"

They wonder if it's worth it

People my age say they dreams desert them

I work completely uncertain

If anyone'll feel it

Just know that it is healing

And enough for me

I bleed publicly

Believe love should be critical and free to go

See I don't fit into a role

That they have given me before

And won't shrink down to make em feel safe now

I flow for the same reasons that I first started

Purpose won't change

I could stay uncharted

Or go nuclear

And keep the same cool core

Cuz I done seen a couple supernovas before

The faster they blow

They sink back in to a black hole

Many don't know how to survive that road

I'm owed nothing

And neither are you

So anything we do here has gotta be mutual

When you got that spotlight on you

Your gonna attract other brights lights

And moths

And energy vampires, and everything

Keep your core cool... and remember

Fame consumes humanity

But it's also temporary

I know I'm an oddity

If you follow all of my offerings

You probably gonna see that music's not a commodity

Or product to me

Behind bars we feel free

And that's a contradiction in my industry

I'm operating in a system I do not believe in

Authoring some stories we could leave for our children

Honestly wish we all approached it different

But everybody's got a high cost of living

Imagine if substance trumped all image

And we celebrated what we made

Without names

If the music could touch the world

Without fame

Well... maybe it does in small ways

But I'm battling a mainstream machine with no face

My homies just want to get a piece of the rat race

So they could run it

And eventually end up in a cage

It's a vicious cycle as history indicates

But I don't believe what's been done is the only way

There's so many ways

To imagine and invent your life

Don't let anybodies idea of success define yours

Just like not all music is created equal

We might not do it for the same reasons either

Be more
