Verse 1
A 
I'm trying to be a light,
G 
can you see me shine, pop?
F#m 
D 
I'm   trying to work at night
when the street lights stop
A 
F#m 
I'm trying to be a light,
G 
can you see me shine, pop?
F#m 
I'm trying to work
D 
F#m 
Bm 
A 
and I'm in the straight lifestyle
G 
A 
F#m 
D

G 
D 
F#m 
How did I start again?
D 
No, no, no
A 
Please, God, let me feel the air again
G 
Lungs  will fill for what I was carrying
F#m 
All   the stress buried in,
D 
I digress, they're the shit
I'm a mess, memory friends,
get the gist
A 
F#m 
Intense inertia's inflicting me
G 
I go between the poetry
D 
and never -ending no's in me
Tellin' me I can't move with Hov
and these grown MC's
F#m 
So I grow  and reap the reward,
A 
but man, I'm open beef
F#m 
G 
Never    think positive shit, I just sink
F#m 
Never be the optimist I used  to be
D 
So now my brow is low
like a motherfuckin' negative degree
A 
F#m 
So I third -degree these trees
A 
with my boys up here
G 
Tryin' to see clear like a lover's eyes
F#m 
D 
Tryin'   to be true like my
mother's fear
F#m 
Tryin' to make  her see
past their wallet size
A 
Can't you see the flowers
F#m 
G 
through the weeds?
A 
F#m 
Can't you see the sunshine
D 
through the trees?
A 
F#m 
Breathe I promise you   can
find some diamonds
G 
hidin' in these streets
F#m 
D 
F#m 
Diamonds waitin' to be mined
A 
and freed, and freed
F#m 
I'ma be Sammy from Benny and June
G 
Pretend like outside it's June
A 
F#m 
D 
The sun in my eyes and it's noon  time
And when the sun is soon conked
out by the moon
F#m 
A 
I'ma dance like J -Lo from 2002
G 
Jenny from the block in the
back of my Honda
A 
Hendo will be dancin' in the
F#m 
front with my mama
D 
I'll be grinnin' thinkin'
I'm too damn cool
A 
Nowadays life's too prop
F#m 
G 
Skip all the fun cause people
gon' watch you and judge
F#m 
D 
Jose and Judy, you're so doody
Shouldn't be to hold that front,
So truly what you wanna do,
F#m 
A 
Jose, cool or get groovy
G 
Fuck all the stairs like an elevator
D 
Man, fuck everybody like a
slutty neighbor
Shine bright like a bright light,
a Jedi Knight like lightsaber
A 
Can't you see the flowers
G 
through the weeds?
A 
F#m 
Can't you see the sunshine
D 
through the trees?

Hidin' in  these streets

G 
Life can make them both the same
F#m 
Blessed, blessed

I am surely is, yes
F#m

Every day,  every day
G 
D 
I remain alive is one I can't complain
F#m 
D 
Though I do a many days
So help me change,
A 
F#m 
let the names stay the same
G 
They don't matter anyway

If you open your eyes
You'll truly be amazed,
