Right On Lyrics

[Chorus]
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I write on, write on
Here we write on
We should shine a light on, a light on
And the book I write on, write on
Here we write on

Yo, I try to get it how I live it
A lot of people countin' on me kinda like a digit
It's a cold world; I'm not frontin' like it isn't
There's no time for comin' up shorter than a midget
Y'all know I'm-a raise the bar though like Bridgette
See every star go; don't blink--you might miss it
It's precious cargo--you gotta be strong to lift it
The light comes in different types; be more specific
Shit, I'm Blackthought--what could be more prolific?
For this love I go above and beyond the limit
I told y'all I'm above and beyond the gimmick
I get into your head and spread like a pandemic
I never put myself in a race I can't finish
I'm well grounded, founded on the same premise
As any man with a hit list, it's 'bout business
Yo, can a brother get a witness? Dig it; right on

[Chorus]

A'ight, okay, I'm above and beyond hot
My measurement in watts
Time rate and flow of energy ain't never gonna stop
Pressure's on, I won't pop; microphone I won't drop
Gym stones, niggas copyin' shit if I ain't in the spot
It's the Orion that I hop, the new star to hit
I shine a light for the future saw my presence a gift
It's evident I'm Heaven-sent with Thomas Edison elements
Reverence for what I represent to show my benevolence
This is Philly; I'm reppin' for the art of the city
Came from Southwest Atlanta, gave my heart to the city
Where slugs fly, thugs cry 'cause every part of it's gritty
Niggas shootin' up the club like they party with Diddy
You keep the diggy; I put my incandescence to fluorescence
And in essence I convert with joules in energy per second
I put 'em on the lessons while I'm smokin' all the blessings
A switch hitter like Pete Rose, right in the session, right on

[Chorus]

Awesome song, definitely on of my favorites off the new album.

I think a few lines in STS's verse are off though, this is what I hear:

And in essence, I can burn with joules of energy per second I put em on the lessons, while I'm smokin' all the blessings A switch hitter like Pete Rose, right in to second
