I can't help it I'm gon' shine

Brighter than the sun will ever be

They're telling me don't believe the lies that they selling me

So I'ma do what I do

It ain't no point in hating on you

Cause I'll shine

Prayed to do it now I gotta live it

Ain't gotta take it as a given

I'ma put it down for my city

Now I'm living different

So it don't matter what you do to me

Cause I'm gon' shine

Left step, right step, step towards the limelight

Stepping from the darkness, marching towards the bright light

God's by my side, I look the devil in his eyes

Angel on the left and the right, both shoulders

Prepared for the snakes when they strike like cobras

Soldier on the battlefield until it's game over

Braveheart, even though I stay scarred

I'ma keep on pushing until I reach the graveyard

It's my life, I grab the reigns and I take charge

Make my own destiny, you can keep your recipe

Come to leave a stamp in this bitch and leave a legacy

Do this for my unborn seeds and my family

Nieces and my nieces, cutting off your bloodsucking leeches

Play your position, students, teachers

World's run dry for you, no more features

Drown in our wave while we chill with the beaches

I can't help it I'm gon' shine

Brighter than the sun will ever be

They're telling me don't believe the lies that they selling me

So I'ma do what I do

It ain't no point in hating on you

Cause I'll shine

Prayed to do it now I gotta live it

Ain't gotta take it as a given

I'ma put it down for my city

Now I'm living different

So it don't matter what you do to me

Cause I'm gon' shine

They told us you ain't going nowhere with that ghetto shit

When we wanted radio play, they wouldn't get with it

So we had to step this shit up, gave 'em better hits

Then we used the internet to get 'em fixed

They wanna hear us spit the truth 'bout where we live

Yeah they love it, that's why everyday they tell us we're the shit

It's the same bollocks, same shit

I'm a different nigga, same shit

I

Shine
