Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try (Gotta try)
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try
I been kicked down in this lifetime,
but every time it's like I'm a little stronger than before
When I try to sit and write rhymes
I use the wrongs that caused me pain
and make them into right lines
Lately late at night it's like my best days at nighttime
I'm at a different height, I'm
on a different page
I have love for everybody even when they deserve my rage
It's just pain
Why would I use it as a crutch for
when I could transform it and turn it into so much more
I don't want these moments to be something you regretted
Your hurt will hold you back if you let it, don't forget it
They don't know what you're worth
so they're treating you like dirt
It's absurd to think a life meant to love
could be thought of as worthless
I know you have a purpose
I ain't gonna lie
There's tough times ahead, but you don't need to cry
Just look up to the sky, and let your pain fly
Remember why you're doing this and try
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try (Gotta try)
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try
I didn't have a lifeline, but now it's kinda like I'm
at the right place and the right time
and no one in their right mind would ever lose their mind
on a struggle they had to fight, I'm
telling you to persevere and make it where the light shines
The pain can be contagious, but we ain't giving in
It's looking like an ocean so I guess I'm finna swim
I'm tryna get a better job so that I can get some cash
But not to make it rain and not to make it splash
But to give to my family so that they can make it last
Some say it is an obstacle, but I call it a task
The pain'll take control if you decide that you won't
The only reason I matter is 'cuz you feel like you don't
I don't understand being held back by your past
I keep my heart open like it's ready for a pass
Man, I guess I'm idealistic, but I'm just tryna keep it optimistic...
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try (Gotta try)
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try
All these people judging you,
do they mean that much to you?
You should dedicate your time
to someone you mean something to
Really though, really though
No need to be vindictive
Sometimes you've been in so much pain
that it becomes addictive
You're trapped inside of the abyss
and your heart's about to fall out
Salvage what you can of love
then I recommend you crawl out
I know we have it in us
All we gotta do is do it
But I can only do so much God will see through it... (Just try)
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try (Gotta try)
Out of the pain, Into the light
Don't let it hold you back
It ain't easy, but you gotta try
