Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(You wouldn't let anybody speak and instead)
(You wouldn't let anybody speak and instead)
[Verse 2]
Ayo, trophy wife, out you won me
Until you had to find out it's one me
Now you benched, aww, your bum knee
Now I'm the bad guy, call me Chun-Li (Ooh)
'Cause you was slippin', yup, you clumsy
And everything I peeped, can't just unsee
Sips tea and it's unsweet
Respect bad gyal, when mi done speak
Now he shootin' his shot like drive-by
Why you had to make me go call up my side guy?
Can't let a f-boy eff up my nice vibes
Yo Ariana, come let me give you a high five
[Verse 3]
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
[Verse 4]
What did she say? What did he say?
You don't listen 'cause you know everything
You don't even need dreams
Tellin' everybody, "Stay woke, don't sleep"
[Verse 5]
Ah, gonna break this shit down
You don't wait, tell 'em wait another round
Ah, guess you're way above it now
And that's your way to love it now
[Verse 6]
How can they tell you
Shit that you've been through?
They are so confused
Who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
[Verse 7]
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances
Every time you blow it all (Blow it all)
As if it were shade
You would just throw it all (Throw it all)
It's like you're trying not to glow at all (Glow at all)
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
[Verse 8]
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness–
[Verse 9]
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness sto–
[Verse 10]
Why do we have chemistry?
With a need for speed
Doin' things that trouble clings to
And burns off our wings
[Verse 11]
Ah, gonna break this shit down
You don't wait, tell 'em wait another round
Ah, guess you're way above it now
And that's your way to love it now
[Verse 12]
How can they tell you
Shit that you've been through?
They are so confused
Who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
[Verse 13]
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances
Every time you blow it all (Blow it all)
As if it were shade
You would just throw it all (Throw it all)
It's like you're trying not to glow at all (Glow at all)
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
[Verse 14]
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness sto–
[Verse 15]
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
The light is coming
To give back everything the darkness stole
