[00:02.500] Yeah, check check, testing
[00:04.960]
[00:06.220] It's clear out there? Yeah
[00:08.770]
[00:16.350] It's like
[00:16.680] I'm hang gliding over the hood, ha
[00:17.930]
[00:25.820] Never worry (ohhh, no, no, no)
[00:28.770]
[00:30.940] Check, let there be light
[00:33.200]
[00:34.040] No gang banging in New York tonight
[00:36.130] Just murals of Biggie Smalls,
[00:37.680] bigger then life
[00:38.830] Turn up the kid mic cuz
[00:40.220] ya'll ain't listening right
[00:41.140]
[00:41.810] What's all this talk that Nas got bought?
[00:43.530]
[00:44.090] I'd rather outline my body in white chalk
[00:45.660]
[00:46.930] Ain't nobody been where I been,
[00:48.420] they at a stand still
[00:49.880] This is all overseen by my man Will
[00:51.310] As I walk through the shadow of death
[00:54.180] I know that
[00:54.840] I ain't got much time left
[00:56.980] And they don't really wanna see the good in me
[00:59.130] Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
[01:01.980] (And I)
[01:02.510] I know my business, so my sins great
[01:04.120] (And I)
[01:04.900] I thank the hood for all the love they gave
[01:07.270] (And I) Forgive 'em all,
[01:08.270] they did they best to hate
[01:10.270] Oh, let there be light
[01:12.730] This ain't the glorified,
[01:14.700] just painting the street picture
[01:15.370] There's no God in sir Bibles,
[01:16.630] just blunt and switches
[01:17.840] Gillettes cut pain in kitchen
[01:19.800] Now every rapper wanna claim he
[01:21.600] hang with Kenneth "Supreme" Griffith
[01:22.910] It's like the same difference cept
[01:24.490] when niggaz get arraigned
[01:25.790] They don't want the same sentence,
[01:27.180] niggaz get to snitchin
[01:28.420] If I could reverse the monsters
[01:30.060] and turn forward the razas
[01:31.460] And bring back the niggaz who was livest
[01:33.290] Old hustlers,
[01:34.330] reminscing on better days
[01:36.180] They home, doing nothing,
[01:37.190] might as well be in a cage
[01:38.810] Hating on young brothers,
[01:40.020] one foot in the grave
[01:41.150] They used to love us till
[01:42.330] we found our own way thru the maze
[01:43.740] New York, set trippin and flaggin
[01:45.720] Got the West Coast laughing, now Esco's asking
[01:48.330] What happened? My homegirl from upper Manhattan
[01:50.840] She remembers the quarters that's Latin,
[01:52.650] alotta rat-a-tat-tatting
[01:53.950] This is all overseen by my man Will
[01:55.630] As I walk through the shadow of death
[01:57.080] I know that
[01:57.920] I ain't got much time left
[01:59.480] And they don't really wanna see the good in me
[02:01.670] Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
[02:04.500] (And I)
[02:04.960] I know my business, so my sins great
[02:06.670] (And I)
[02:07.570] I thank the hood for all the love they gave
[02:09.700] (And I) Forgive 'em all,
[02:10.790] they did they best to hate
[02:12.680] Oh, let there be light
[02:14.880] The son of the audio cassette era,
[02:16.380] tech wearer
[02:17.220] Bullets and begets, Binzbo's speaker terror
[02:19.940] Till man I get mine till I'm dead,
[02:21.720] so I can drive sumpthin red
[02:23.090] Like that horse standing on it's hind legs
[02:24.790] Since Arnold and Willis in they bunk beds
[02:26.790] I wanted bread like Wonder,
[02:28.090] not manned-a-wanno like the parent of Lionel
[02:30.490] Nas is the Ghetto American Idol
[02:32.510] No matter what you do
[02:33.920] you're never getting my title
[02:35.380] I can't sound smart cuz ya'll'll run away
[02:37.450] They say I ain't hungry no more
[02:39.210] and I don't talk about 'ye
[02:40.450] Like there's no other way for a ex-hustler
[02:42.550] Cake ya, the x-ray splitter to touch ya,

[03:37.560] This is all overseen by my man Will
[03:38.780] As I walk through the shadow of death
[03:40.040] I know that
[03:40.630] I ain' t got much time left
[03:42.780] And they don' t really wanna see the good in me
[03:44.860] Ain' t satisfied until they see the fool in me
[03:47.650] And I
[03:48.330] I know my business, so my sins great
[03:50.270] And I
[03:51.200] I thank the hood for all the love they gave
[03:53.220] And I Forgive ' em all,
[03:54.170] they did they best to hate
[03:55.760]
[03:56.290] Oh, let there be light
[04:00.280]
[04:02.440] Oh let it be, let it be, yeah
[04:06.310]
[04:08.150] Let it be, let it be
Let There Be Light Lyrics
