Always Knew Lyrics - Lecrae

Yeah, this right here is dedicated to my family 

My friends, my lady, everybody that helped me down through the highs and lows. 

Especially the Lord, you know what I mean? 

You held a bright light in my life, you feel me? 

Shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

Yeah, ayy 

Shine a light on me

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Learned a lot over these last few years 

Industry people ain't friends, just peers 

I learned that these girls easy like the morning of a Sunday 

They don't love you 'til you gone like Harambe 

Still killin' over colors, now it's black and blue 

We dyin' every day, B, we just don't make the news 

When you speak out for your race, just watch 

They gon' twist and say you hate these cops 

I'ma take these shots 

How can he love Jesus, Kanye, and K-Dot? 

Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer, Mitsubishi, and Maybach? 

Contradictory, nah, it's complimentary 

Understanding me ain't for the simple and elementary, oh 

I know this might go over some heads 

But I come from being government fed 

Could be running from feds 

But now I give the government bread 

'Cause you playin' back the words that I said 

Photos 

I can't believe we made it through 

My momma said she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew 

My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew 

I told my lady, "I ain't never met nobody like you" 

A thank you 

Now I remember, uh, I was sittin' in my room 

Glued to my television daily after school 

And I never saw me goin' to college 

Higher learning was a different world, I can acknowledge 

I used to imagine me in a black Range 

Gettin' paid from doin' this lil' rap thing 

And now I'm payin' these professors couple thousand for a lesson 

Graduated, in recession, Sallie Mae just wanna check in, I'm stressin' 

Rap music, it was all a dream 

Now I'm in a session chasin' my dream 

Who would have knew? Man, it's crazy 

S1 introduced me to Jay-Z 

Never met my dad, but I met the music that raised me 

I know this might go over some heads 

But I come from being government fed 

Could be running from feds 

But now I give the government bread 

'Cause you playin' back the words that I said 

That's crazy 

I can't believe we made it through 

My momma said she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew 

My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew 

I told my lady, "I ain't never met nobody like you" 

A thank you 

Listen, I know God did it, can't take the credit 

Paid off all of my debts, but I still feel so indebted 

Been all over the world with these songs I wrote 

My life story oughta to give y'all hope 

Without a doubt I've been doubted and counted out 

I've been down for the count, about to quit 

Momma told me keep going 'cause I was made for this 

I either get a scholarship or I could get a hit 

I still can't believe I made it here 

I can't believe we made it through 

My momma said she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew 

My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew 

I told my lady, "I ain't never met nobody like you" 

A thank you 

Shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

Yeah, ayy 

Shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

You shine a light on me 

Yeah, man
