[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
Its been a struggle for me
~#**************#~
Wondering why I cant get by with my life
~#**************#~
But now Im free
~#**************#~
And I done did some right and wrong but still I seen the light
~#**************#~
And I done been around the sex and drugs
~#**************#~
Hustling but mama aint raise no thug
~#**************#~
And it took a little to see
~#**************#~
How real it could get and how this life wasnt meant for me cause I
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
Seen a lot of bad things on my block
~#**************#~
But I aint wanna be a victim of a gunshot
~#**************#~
I cant let nothing hold me down
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
See all the things I heard about (Woo)
~#**************#~
See all the things Ive read about (Woah, oh)
~#**************#~
I seen the light (Yeah, yeah)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
Its kinda hard for me
~#**************#~
To stay away from all these girls and the haters, they dont like
~#**************#~
That Im fulfilling my dream
~#**************#~
But Im just tryna do my thing, my nigga, cant I live my life?
~#**************#~
I got the world on my shoulders (Shoulders)
~#**************#~
And Im only getting older (Older)
~#**************#~
But its like its getting colder
~#**************#~
Im gon make it but I cant take it sometimes
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
I came a long way from my block
~#**************#~
And Im grateful for everything I got
~#**************#~
I didnt let nothing bring me down
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
See all the things I heard about (Ooh, yeah)

~#**************#~
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
~#**************#~
Wow, huh man, after all this, who woulda thought? (Yeah)

Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
~#**************#~
Little boy from Tappahannock, Virginia
~#**************#~
Yall know what Im saying? Would make it all the way to the top
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Rico Love]
~#**************#~
Life is vivid but seen through the eyes of a righteous spirit
~#**************#~
They try to show us the light but we dont like to hear it (Dont like to hear it)
~#**************#~
Mama told me I was bright but despite her lyrics
~#**************#~
A large heard across my sight, I had to fight to clear it (Uh, uh)
~#**************#~
Like a runner, a couple of summers, I often wondered if it
~#**************#~
Really was winter and thats when I heard the thunder
~#**************#~
A current was occurrin, it was stirrin up my hunger
~#**************#~
But I couldnt let the **** bury a ***** under (Dont let it)
~#**************#~
Used to cry hopin all of this would pass
~#**************#~
And then I learned to use my tears to water up the grass
~#**************#~
A part of my swag but apparently Ive won
~#**************#~
‘Cause I took my shades off and now Im starin at the sun
~#**************#~
(See all the things Ive heard about)
~#**************#~
Im seein the light, Im seein the light
~#**************#~
Uh, realizin that its me in the light
~#**************#~
(See all the things Ive read about)
~#**************#~
I read about it (Read about it)
~#**************#~
Heard about it (Heard about it), and now I know (Woo!)
~#**************#~
(Ive seen the light)
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
I coulda did wrong
~#**************#~
I seen a lot of people hustle but I left them things alone
~#**************#~
I almost lost my friend to the struggle
~#**************#~
But I guess that made me strong, made me strong
~#**************#~
I seen a whole lot of drama and it taught me how to fight
~#**************#~
Taught me how to fight
~#**************#~
And I thank God for my mama, she showed me what was right
~#**************#~
I coulda been in the dark, but thank God for the light
~#**************#~
(I seen the light) I seen the light
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
~#**************#~
See all the things I heard about
~#**************#~
All the things Ive heard about
~#**************#~
See all the things Ive read about
~#**************#~
Ive read about it, Ive read about it, oh
~#**************#~
I seen the light
~#**************#~
I see the light, I see the light
