LIGHTHOUSE

I'm surrounded by darkness but still, I shine,
With thoughts grinding in mind,
Of going out to get mine.

My light pierces the darkness in the hope of making things change for the better,
Whether its to brighten us up through stormy weather
Or bring us, the light and dark together.

And perhaps walk hand and hand
In the middle is where I stand,
To provide light,
Spite of the lack of sunlight,
I'm a structure and strong as a house, that provides rays that make things more than all right.

A house of light,
No, it's more so a lighthouse,
Providing inspiration and light
To more and more crowds.

Blast off,
Like never seen before,
Why is this young man to cry,
Dry your eyes
You're too young what you sad for.

This is the beginning of something new,
A rebirth,
Something like a newborn birth
A man leaving the earth
Both in the same hospital,
One enters on the delivery bed,
The other leaves on their death bed,
To the light they both head.
But they bloom
To a different platform,
An older man dying
While a child is being born.

And I've decided to be reborn,
And to change and to switch,
And to grow wiser as I go,
So I can home-run every pitch.

Indeed it takes a lot outta me,
I had to learn everything quickly,
A lot bad not just me around me so I had to inspire folks to get out quick

And these super-duper thoughts
Are expressed through super duper jots, on a paper,
From a mind surrounded by a black young man with some waves and a taper.

Keep in mind this man's a go-getter,
Go figure that;
He's tryna hold a bigger stack
Than a stapler,
When it comes to some green pieces of paper

All in all, I'm my father's son and my son's father,
I was inspired inspire,
My father spotlighted success passed down through the wire,
And lit a fire big enough to view,
So that way I can inspire my son so he can enjoy the campfire too.
