When the Light Hits Lyrics by Archibald Slim

Fell Asleep Praying

2021

[Hook]:
I been working that night shift
Niggas hurting up watching my price slip
What you do in the dark, don't come to the light
Bet I shine when the light hits
Had to learn shit the hard way
But them lessons I learned, they was priceless
Thanking God for how far I came, you don't always make it livin' like this
[Verse 1]:
All that glitter ain't gold but I spotted a diamond I wanted at no cost
And niggas gon' tell you that crime don't pay
How you think I got so far?
Tryna stay above water, they livin' for dead these niggas be so flawed
If you squirt, say come ride me, I'm doin' whatever I can to get broke off
And part of mе cold
Part of me soul and the thought that I'm probably gon' part with my soul
So part of me frozе
Cause all of me knows My heart ain't a part of me gold
Pull over my partner, put all of your shit in my pockets
Pull off with the part that we owed If you tryna get on
I cannot leave it long Till I pop some of these songs, uh
[Hook]:
I been working that night shift
Niggas hurting up watching my price slip
What you do in the dark, don't come to the light
Bet I shine when the light hits
Had to learn shit the hard way
But them lessons I learned, they was priceless
Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this
I been working that night shift
Niggas hurting up watching my price slip
What you do in the dark, don't come to the light
Bet I shine when the light hits
Had to learn shit the hard way
But them lessons I learned, they was priceless
Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this
[Verse 2]:
I ain't like folks, time I play with 5
Selling light dope
Niggas terrified of this tightrope
Working 9 to fives with the white folks
When the pressure's high, it's when the pipes blow
But I'd rather die than set my sights low
Or set my price low unless my sights on
Take a nigga's shit and sell it high and slow
On my village shit
They tryna write wrongs
I'm just sending shit to keep my lights on
On some reckless shit
I pray my life long
I'm a special nigga but my mind gone
Hustlers heaven sent
That's where my time go
Can't no evidence get left for five-O
Talking gangsta but for real this fine's gone
Fuck that flex and shit
You living life wrong, tryna tell ya
[Hook]:
I been working that night shift
Niggas hurting up watching my price slip
What you do in the dark, don't come to the light
Bet I shine when the light hits
Had to learn shit the hard way
But them lessons I learned, they was priceless
Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this
I been working that night shift
Niggas hurting up watching my price slip
What you do in the dark, don't come to the light
Bet I shine when the light hits
Had to learn shit the hard way
But them lessons I learned, they was priceless
Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this
[Outro]:
Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this
(Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this)
(Thanking God for how far I came 'cause you don't always make it livin' like this)
