Lyrics AGAINST THE GRAIN/SHINE MEDLEY (NPR MUSIC'S TINY DESK CONCERT) - Tobe Nwigwe , Madeline Edwards
We
just
wanted
to
go
against
the
grain
a
little
bit
So
Madelyn
Edwards,
if
you
would
Cause
you
were
made
to
do
what
no
one's
done
And
though
they
shade
you
You
shine
like
the
sun
Cause
you
were
made
to
do
what
no
one's
done
And
though
they
shade
you
You
shine
like
the
sun
I
feel
like
the
masses
on
melatonin
when
it
come
to
melanin
I
grew
up
melancholic
because
I
ain't
realized
That
the
hemoglobin
in
my
skin
was
connected
to
a
lineage
That
never
ever
had
to
pin
and
pinch
Serpent
hissing
at
me
I
take
the
blade
to
his
neck
to
kill
all
the
hissy
fits
(ugh!)
Please
don't
try
me
I
get
overly
violent
when
it
come
to
juju
Hence
why
my
name
is
Tobechuku
and
the
flow
like
a
tutu
Wrapped
around
the
waist
of
Misty
Copeland
Graceful
even
though
I
hail
from
broken
Places
where
they
say
that
none
are
chosen
To
rise
among
the
raptors
like
DeRozean
(ugh!)
Flow
old,
so
so
Jurassic
(agh!)
Tough
to
find
a
suitor
in
my
bracket
Where
I'm
from
my
hood
is
filled
with
bastards
Not
their
fault
they
dad
done
headed
backwards
Hopefully
the
don't
adapt
the
habit
Of
the
seed
that
turned
them
to
a
savage
(cause!)
(Cause)
Cause
you
were
made
to
(you
were
made
to)
Do
what
no
one's
done
(do
what
no
ones
done)
And
though
they
shade
you
(though
they
shade
you)
You
shine
like
the
sun
(shine
on
baby)
Cause
you
were
made
to
(you
were
made
to)
Do
what
no
one's
done
(do
what
no
ones
done)
And
though
they
shade
you
(though
they
shade
you)
You
shine
like
the
sun
Sun
Sun
Sun
Ohhhh
Shine
(shine)
Shine
(shine)
Shine
on
all
of
them
(Shine
on
all
of
them)
My
umi
said
to
shine
the
light
So
shine
on
all
of
them
Shine
(shine)
Shine
(shine)
Shine
on
all
of
them
(Shine
on
all
of
them)
My
umi
said
to
shine
the
light
So
shine
on
all
of
them
We
in
the
land
of
milk
and
honey
Where
ain't
nothing
sweet
these
demons
hungry
They
go
bananas
for
the
money
But
not
me,
I'm
no
circus
monkey
It's
crazy
It's
crazy
No,
Satan
can't
drown
us
we
wavy
Too
smooth
to
be
fooled
by
fugazi
I
guess
that's
okay
that's
what
made
me
Shine
(shine)
Shine
(shine)
Shine
on
all
of
them
(Shine
on
all
of
them)
My
umi
said
to
shine
the
light
So
shine
on
all
of
them
(ohhhh)
Climb
(climb)
Climb
(climb)
You
were
born
to
win
Don't
let
them
make
you
colourblind
And
not
adore
your
skin
