Lyrics Only Prayer! - Cassie Chantel

I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I been working so hard
I been working so hard
I don't wanna say it's all for nothing
I just wanna shine before my time fade away

I been working on my dreams
Trying to bring, trying to bring it to reality
But life getting the best of me
Mama said go to work, go to college
Late nights I get high and think about it
But it just ain't me
Trying to make me into something I can't be
And I can't be a slave no I can't be it
Stuck up in the matrix and they don't see it
I can't be a slave no I can't be it
They stuck up in the matrix and they don't see it

I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I been working so hard
I been working so hard
I don't wanna say it's all for nothing
I just wanna shine before my time fade away

She just don't get
Why live like this
No fear take risk
And I just live with no regrets
A nigga like me should've been dead
I just sit back and I replay it
I just sit back and I replay it
But ain't no other life that I want instead
And I get faded thru the night with all my homies there
And every time I talk to god this my only prayer
I just wanna shine lord
Please don't say I waste my time lord

I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I just wanna shine before my time fade away
I been working so hard
I been working so hard
I don't wanna say it's all for nothing
I just wanna shine before my time fade away
