(Intro, Linkin Park)

Waiting for a light
Waiting for a light
Waiting for a light that never comes

(Verse 1, Imran Mandani)

In my whole life I've been told I got to follow the righteous path
But when you running on E, you can't help but siphon gas
Trying to stay on the right track, so I kick a cipher in front of the mic stand
And my life plan, is hoping that I'm doing something right, in my life span
But all this negativity is taking a toll so I feel like I'm using up my I-pass
On this road to life I'm trying not to get side tracked
Hoping that my dreams come with a night lamp
I got this night plan, when opportunity calls, I'm calling right back
Yea I'm a star Hip Hop is the dial pad
But how can I live my dreams? When I'm working night shifts
Life is hard, I'm staying harder than what life is
I've been looking through the dark, but my heart's where the light is

(Chorus, Linkin Park)

The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes

(Verse 2, Imran Mandani)

I've been told that I got to look within, my soul is my sidekick
But this whole time I've been looking at my palms trying to be psychic
Playing the hand I've been dealt so I'm raising these white chips
This world is a tight rope, where's the rope that I climb with?
The story of my life, trying to develop a vision for the fine print
I'm grabbing the mic and what I'm saying's quick sick
But I'm quite sick of life 'cause I can't weather this climate
Of black clouds, all I ever wanted to do was shine like the sun
But I got to get a tight grip
And turn these little stepping stones into million diamonds
Rock a freestyle for the milestones but I got to, get the light in
I've been looking through the dark, but my heart's where the light is

(Chorus, Linkin Park)

The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes

(Verse 3, Imran Mandani)

Learn to see the blessing in disguise, in your heart is the inner light
Got to see the silver lining of the clouds, before you get to cloud nine
Without a shadow of a doubt my inner demons I can outshine
I know I got to tune in to the universe, so I'm here when the world calls
Sometimes life, throws you curve balls
All you got to do is toss it back a Nerf ball
But on the road to life, there ain't no OnStar
The only way to reach the stars, is to let go of your downfalls
Trust in your heart is the Light of God, don't ever bargain with
With the Devil, cause the light comes when you harvest it
This light is like an arrow that I'm arching with
When you find the ocean of light, got to dive deep and get lost in it (lost in it)

(Chorus, Linkin Park)

The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes
