Shine Lyrics

Diamonds flickering off my pinky ring

They say I descended from kings

But shit ain't what it seem

From my behavior

wear the wrong thing

Niggas'll slay ya

Find a black queen

Niggas'll call you captain save her

When you see a nigga shining why agitate ya

Mentality passed down from back when they enslaved us

Fuck 40 a nigga lucky to get one acre

Sick of fake ones where the Anita Bakers

Guess they don't make 'em

like they used to

Fake lips fake boobs

Asses don't even shake no more

They just move

Niggas don't even fight no more

They just shoot

Kids don't play in the street no more

8 year olds stuck in they phones

They tryna keep us stuck in our homes

The meta verse got us stuck in our domes

Depression at an all time high

People stressing over shit they can't buy

Tryna keep up with the Jones

White designers hate us wearing they clothes

But still we beg for inclusion

Emptying bank accounts we live in delusion

Thinking they brands will give us status

While they laugh like you stupid

You spent 10 thousand on a bag cause it's Louis

Look at yo ass looking foolish

But

Get yo shine on

But get yo shine on

I used to hate Tyler Perry for no reason

Other than just cause spike Lee

Told niggas not to like him

A brother who looks just like me

Probably cause he's shining

Billionaire niggas climbing

Self hate feeling our minds up

The diamond in the rough

Get the worst treatment

Searching for reasons

Your neighborhood won't let you come around without hands reaching

Or your body'll be steaming

I know I like nice things but what I'm preaching

That shit ain't worth me losing my breathing

I wish we all could just shine

Without the jealousy that come with the shit

Enjoying life and all it's wonderfulness

shouldn't be scared to come around without a gun on my hip

I should feel safe with my son in my whip

But… these bullets got no names there ain't no one that's exempt

Niggas be killing niggas just cause they shining

Shit ain't no love where we live.
