capital ode - losing light lyrics
yeah…
before n-ggas even know it, they’re in a circuit..
and that circuit keeps the lights on
my aunt once told me that everything we’re doing now, she had done back in her day and there was nothing new under the sun
so all that told me was that i have to break the circuit..
to this artificial light
[verse 1 – capital ode]
graduated and his whole family’s glad he made it
first one to do it
man, who knew it?
congratulations
but the celebrating ends fast
baby on the way with his lady and they gon’ need cash
he’s applying, doing interviews but he never seems to hears good news
surviving off his girl’s income
baby due, she’s carrying the weight in more ways than one
he’s got a ton on his plate and he needs to make some scratch
and it’s 10 times worse with his lady on his back
always saying that if she can do it, he can
she starts to think of him as less of a man
d-mn
so he’s doing what he has to do
yeah, serving dime bags to you
uh, tryna move up the chain
until he’s way too deep in the game
now he’s got a couple charges on his record and a 9 to 5 job is out of the question
strike 1, strike 2, strike 3
cops busted in and took him right in front of the baby
[chorus – capital ode]
all through the night
i can see stars lose their light (waiting on the son to come up)
before morn, i pray for a better day
but this the way it’s always been and it’ll never change
(waiting on the son to come up)
all through the night
i can see stars lose their light (waiting on the son to come up)
before morn, i pray for a better day
but this the way it’s always been and it’ll never change
(waiting on the son to come up)
[verse 2 – capital ode]
he left his old lady on the outside working two jobs, tryna provide
for they child
and things ain’t getting easier
cus little man is struggling now from the lack of seeing her
his grades are getting worse and he may repeat
with n0body to keep him out these streets
growing up in the ghetto with its influences
looking for someone to look up to no matter who it is
mommy can’t afford new sneakers, his are busted in
so he takes it upon himself and gets to hustling
he’s just trying to find some self worth
’cause on the inside, he’s lonely and hurt
so when the school does a random search with the dogs
sniffing out the lockers lined up the halls
he calls his mom from the station with the story
but he can’t say a thing except sorry
for losing light
[chorus – capital ode]
all through the night
i can see stars lose their light (waiting on the son to come up)
before morn, i pray for a better day
but this the way it’s always been and it’ll never change
(waiting on the son to come up)
all through the night
i can see stars lose their light (waiting on the son to come up)
before morn, i pray for a better day
but this the way it’s always been and it’ll never change
(waiting on the son to come up)
[segue – capital ode]
i remember back in the day, our mother used to wake us up early on a sunday morning for church and put us in these stiff clothes we ain’t wanna wear but praise & worship in the beginning made it worth it. it would sound a little something like this. it would go
[bridge – jumoke charles, sherlita mccann & capital ode]
oh, my friends
i’ll never worry again
i saw the end tonight
in a shining light…
oh, my friends
i’ll never worry again
i saw the end tonight
in a shining light…
oh, my friends
i’ll never worry again
i saw the end tonight
in a shining light…
oh, my friends
i’ll never worry again
i saw god tonight
in a shining light…
[outro – capital ode]
then, at the end of the service, on a good day we’d go to ihop or something like that. then we’d go home and at the end of the day, the sun would go down, come back up again and nothing would change
