SHINE Lyrics

What you know about shining?

(All that was ever on my mind)

All I ever ever wanted was to shine

I never failed to play my part, for a fact

Yeah, shining like the brightest star

Like that

Cause I seen a way from the start

Only matter was time

Almost scenic with the art taking you through my mind

Best believe it times were dark before the light started shining

Just the environment, that molded the soul

And so far I know I'm better than I've ever been

Settled in, reaching for betterment, switching the code

I'm scheming when I'm dreaming on a couch with my feet up

The reason for the season was becoming a believer

Feeling like a seasoned vet, they followed the leader

Really what I was needing was a shoulder to lean on

I'm leaning towards standing on my own two

Meeting the crew with plans of what we gon' do

The day brings a slate for something new

Pulling curtains, now the sunlight pouring through

Oh, to shine

I just wanted to shine

Figured it would only be a matter of time

Took a little bit to get in line with the grind

Now it's mine

I'm here to shine

I just wanted to shine

Figured it would only be a matter of time

Took a little bit to get in line with the grind

I reminisce and find the reason why

Seeing the seeds planted

Attitude do or die defined to be frantic

Cause I'm shedding my light to uncover unique damage

In my line of sight, wonder how I keep standing

I figure it's a larger-than-life picture

No savior behavior

But I do it for niggas

Reaching to be richer was the road map

Plotted points for the people, yo that's pro-black

Cause I'm tired of talking, now it's time to wisen up

And the wisest option was taking that offer up

Learning as I go from now until then

Sometimes I feel stuck, out of luck but won't bend

It's like that, before it starts sticking together

It might lack a little, but it's soon to get better

Assumed it was all pleasure, then adopted the pain

Making moves to mark whether I'm still playing the game

Here to shine

I'm here to shine

It was really only just a matter of time

Took a little bit to get in line with the grind

Now it's mine

I'm here to shine

Yeah

I'm here to shine

It was really only just a matter of time

Took a little bit to get in line with the grind

Now it's mine

To shine
