Light Day - T.I.

Hey, check me
I ain't-I ain't gon' go back and forth
Yeah

Went insane in the Nineties and then I bounced back
Could of this year, lookin' like I lost my mind again
Now, did I find it (no?)
Life is all about timin' (it is)
Gotta know the devil's in the details
That why when you doin' deals, I would wanna read the fine print
I'm the king, n_gga, no denyin' that (uh uh)
But nevermind that, just a solid n_gga tryna find solutions to the generation problem
Make a couple hundred million dollars in the process (what wrong with' dat?)
And my mind set, it fluctuate from gettin' a bunch of paper to the revolution to a six shooter
F_ck the President and f_ck politics (f_ck 'em, yeah)
I'm just a family man, former dope boy
So you know I ain't goin' for no bullsh_t, no
They stay cappin' I make happen, sh_t
Muh'f_cka think can't happen
They sh_t talkin', I'm face slappin'
No convo, I'm talkin' straight action like the old days
Met the forty cal, spin 'em 'round like the O-Jays
Hit 'em four time with the four-four bumpin' Jay sh_t, yeah
Never tolerated disrespect, I ain't the one to play with (nah)
Way a minute, now
Cross that line; he wouldn't dare
In shark water, way deep out there, yeah

I ain't never lived in the moment
Busy tryna find another way to feel that rush
Man, f_ck the celebration, concentrate on gettin' bigger
I'm tryna find a way to feed all these n_ggas
Can you carry that load?
Wanna live that life?
The sh_t you doin', homie, I done all that twice
That's a light day
The sh_t you doin', homie, I done all that twice
That's a light day

Okay
Death before dishonor amongst us thieves is honor, okay
With y'all it's me and mine, with us it's we and ours
Okay, okay, with us we hit a lick and bust it up
You hear the lick, kill your homie, and keep from splittin' it
See, treachery will never be cool
Whatever we do, we straight up
Tuck no tail, take no sh_t
Consider your decisions, the consequences and benefit
'Fore you just go out, gettin' into sh_t
Gone be some real when the sentence hit
Then a cold penitentiary, said you gon' be gone a quarter century
Say, when they mention your name, n_gga go to forgettin' sh_t
Your co-defendant singin', was on some Boyz 2 Men sh_t
Fundamentals, move work and rental
Hustlin', business to attend to
Broke sh_t, I wasn't into, couldn't do it
Operation by any means make it outta the hood
Love to see my momma doin' good, uh
Love to see my n_ggas stackin' money, gettin' to it, sh_t
But when the light don't shine and the ice don't glow 'cause your window closed, you know

I ain't never lived in the moment
Busy tryna find another way to feel that rush
Man, f_ck the celebration, concentrate on gettin' bigger
I'm tryna find a way to feed all these n_ggas
Can you carry that load?
Wanna live that life?
The sh_t you doin', homie, I done all that twice
That's a light day
The sh_t you doin', homie, I done all that twice
That's a light day

That's a light day, oooooh
That's a light day
That's a light day
Oooooooh, that's a light day
