I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Baby it’s been a long road It’s been a long road Baby, you know it’s been a long road
It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51 Let’s go, I know we’ll have some fun Ohhh deep in my heart you’ll always be When I need to run, far away from everyone No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun Let’s go Deep in your heart I’ll always be
Goodnight… Goodnight folks, fell asleep reading the Bible When I’m dreaming, I can hear my mother singin’ them high notes I see a bunch of people in life boats They wanna keep me under, but I’m tryna stay afloat I’m back to the day I wrote my first battle rhyme Broke the soul of that weepin’ brother, they formin’ a line so I said, “Hey Keep em’ comin.” Even though, all I play is Stevie Wonder I don’t really know no hip- hop, I grew up on CeCe Winans Yo, I ain’t’ fit in for a while They’d be partying, I would sit Indian style Watchin’ all my friends, that was back then and it’s wild In the audience, they be like “Chris!” and I smile You be thinking I changed, but you don’t know the half And even if you did, man that’s only half But, God gave me something I can only have My own shade, I’m cool with a lonely path
It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51 Let’s go, I know we’ll have some fun Ohhh deep in my heart you’ll always be When I need to run, far away from everyone No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun Let’s go Deep in your heart I’ll always be
I didn’t know the kid would grow to love his difference Was living for appearance or what people say A miracle to really go through the transition From indigo to loving on the deepest shade of me When I dropped School of Roses that was one side of me I was just tryna show you, what you didn’t wanna see Now I’m waking up every morning, to play the hand I been dealt ‘Cause I felt like you knew me, when I didn’t know myself
It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51 Let’s go, I know we’ll have some fun Ohhh deep in my heart you’ll always be When I need to run, far away from everyone No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun Let’s go Deep in your heart I’ll always be
