Light a Candle Video (MV)

I wasn't even six, I barely remember
That night they shot my uncle down
It felt as cold December
And he wasn't even my uncle in a literal sense
But blood couldn't make him closer
Tight spaces condense
He was a man getting money, and my Pop was his homie
They ride or die for each other, and niggas did him like he Tony
Man that nigga a sucka, a hatin muthaf*cka
He took Dirt away from us, now he going 6 feet under
See the snakes envy you, but they play as ya dawg
But when the going gets tough, they start showing their cards
See everybody in the hood really ain't hard
And you don't gotta play the block for niggas to see that you a fraud
You gotta stay real and you gotta stay true
And if you love ya self then f*ck who don't love you
I ain't have to run the streets my Mom and Pop did that
They learned from the concrete, and 3 roses grew from that
They consider us some blessings, and we cherish every second
I know Dirt smiling down like Lit you learned ya lesson
You can play in the streets but that shit don't last forever
And at some point you gotta know, you gotta make it better
Know the patches of ya lane
Like a polo sweater
Ya best muscle is ya brain
Gotta use that clever
We on the block, Kuz that's what we know
We don't have that choice
We tell the world about our problems
But it's like we don't have that voice
But it's ways to make it out and we can do it through the children
If it's too late for you, you can do it through the children
But it's ways to make it out and we can do it through our children
If it's too late for you, you can do it through the children

Light a candle in the air
For the ones that you lost
Celebrate. Make a cheer
Do it From the heart
Light a candle in the air
For the ones that you lost
Celebrate. Make a cheer
Do it From the heart

I never met my cousin, my cousin Rashida
But she lives through my name, sometimes I wish I could meet her
She was like my Mom sister
Them together was insane
People thought that they were twins
They could both dance and sing
Maybe that's the reason for talent
I crafted but they handed
Me the tools to fly through school
And rap around you fools
She reason that my parents met for that, I'm just grateful
She saved their life and made mine
But couldn't make it to my cradle
I don't know if the nigga was jealous
Or couldn't handle his breakfast
She wasn't a plate full but then he got to driving reckless
And it's crazy that he got to survive
Man that shit took my cousin, you can't apologize
And even if he got what he had coming
It's not gonna bring my cousin back
And that's some shit my fam couldn't stomach
And I know she smiling down, like Lee you learned ya lessons
And I still got ya back, and Ima rock with you from heaven

Light a candle in the air
For the ones that you lost
Celebrate. Make a cheer
Do it From the heart
Light a candle in the air
For the ones that you lost
Celebrate. Make a cheer
Do it From the heart
