Nu Edison - Light Spirit Lyrics

Born gifted
Didn't even know it
It took me seventeen years to put my finger on it
Two after that for me to realize
I really had the skills
And the knack for boom bappin'
So I had to show it

To my mommy and my daddy
And the kids I flowed it
Naturally they took me seriously
My folks didn't
My older brother had the knowledge and the passion
He was stubborn so I treated him like class
But he didn't know it

Anyway, 20 years old I dropped the first chap
I mean chapter I was taken by the flash back
Fast forward to UMDOGO that was unreal
I shot my first video and that was unreal

My state of mind at the time
As a lie I didn't know why I did it
But I do know we had fun still

After that it got bleak
Carla died, I got clean
Got Jesus and I even got my girl back

My girl at the time now she ain't my girl no more
But let me focus
I ain't playing wit the drugs no more
All I do is eat da Casey's last name
F*ck fame searching for dat real art
Working on my own part

Twenty fifteen I took a break I couldn't rap
Had to take a moment to alleviate the gaps
At school and with the music
My relationship was boomin'
She was happy, I was happy, I was lucky as f*ck

I got the impulse to make an impact somewhat
Leezy sounding sweeter than a kumquat somewhat
Told em they don't see me right before dat
War ready sparked I got a calling didn't call back

Anyway, I moved on
Rode the wave hit the stage, pushed the art
Rode the wave what a time what a time to be alive
Always wanted to be heard ever since I was 5
Now I'm past 25 and I feel so alive



It really gets hard when you lose love
People gon' laugh when you lose love.
It really gets hard when you lose love
People gon' laugh when you lose love.

I can't take this feeling no mo.
It really gets hard when you lose love
I can't take this feeling no mo.
People gon' laugh when you lose love.

I can't take this feeling no mo.
It really gets hard when you lose love
I can't take this feeling no mo.

My gran daddy called me white flame
Man, I was taken aback didn't know how to react
It was a nice name
It resonated cuz I'm the light
My mind changed

I got a passion for liberty
I don't like chains
I break rules create art
My light changed
Nu Edison call me Eddy I had my name changed
My first verse after that titled white flame

Performed the song on television
For my friends, even strangers
I remember when I made my granny and my daddy cry
Man I swear I cried more than a river
When I hurt the only person who believed in me when I just a child

Oh shit
I guess I gotta do it on my own
I mean I'm not really alone
But you know just what I mean
When I tell you it's okay people live and people grow
If you f*ck up take the L
Learn the lesson free your soul

Now it's only EMG I'm focused on the vision
Focused on myself
I Pay attention and I listen
To all the shady forces in my rear view
I cannot relate I'm routing for da people

That means everyone, you , me yes even them
We will grow as the people like a leaf from a stem,
Photosynthesis is what you get when I hold da pen
Dis what the lord giveth
I'm think I'm the light spirit
