It's me again. This time I've got something you might like to hear. Literally. After a few minor setbacks, I've decided to go ahead with this track as the lead from the project. It's actually one of my favorites on the project for several crazy reasons.
One, it's a rendition of a song called 'Lights' by an artist named Ellie Goulding. I heard the song a while ago, and sent it to my homie Frank Whyte to see what he could do with it. So he sent me back the beat, and I got in contact with the talented Cortni Ambria to sing the hook for me.
And here you have it, the first official release from One Man Army Vol. 2, 'Lights Remix'.
Lyrics below.
Verse:
The truth and light - above a stick of dynamite/
A spark within a coal mine could turn it to the diamond life, 'love is king'/
Hatred is a waste of time - I have no time for wasting mine/
The way I shine, you may go blind/
Look this way but squint your eyes, maybe you would know it's there/
Enlightened now you're so aware, I'm likened to a solar flare/
Gone before you know it's there, never been one to stand around/
I'm moving at the speed of light, talking at the speed of sound/
Society will beat you down, or build you up... Depending what your contribution is/
So I just shine the light upon these convoluted kids/
Do it big despite of what we was given/
Killing to make a living, just living to make a killing/
Shine on the devil's ceiling, I'm glowing you see the light/
I'm rollin' up something potent, get going give me a light/
It's time for lift-off, all aboard this red-eye flight/
I'm smoking strong, feel the force like a Jedi Knight...
Hook:
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone/
You shine them when I'm alone/
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong/
And dreaming when they're gone/
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home/
Calling, calling, calling home/
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone/
You shine them when I'm alone/
Bridge:
5 for the fame, 4 for the name - 3, 2, 1 for the love of the game/
You showed your shining light, I see you shinin' like/
Northern lights, hyper white Porsche lights, you heard the city mine?/
Somebody told you right/
[x2]
Let there be light for my vision, give me insight, give me wisdom/
I'm moving blue chess pieces, looking at life through a prism/
Shout out my lifers in prison, shout out my shooters that's home/
Shout out my double major students trying to do on their own/
[x2]
[Hook]
