Gotta Shine
Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz I know that wherever I go
I just gotta shine
I remember when I had nothing I ain't think I stood a chance at a glance there was light
At the end of the tunnel had me thinking to myself like
Maybe I should give it all I got, though it was a long shot
Now they tellin' me that I changed do you think things would be different
If a nigga stayed the same
In the belly of the beast where they let the choppers bang
in the middle of the street and police don't do a thang
I just know where I'm going, can't show no emotion
Anytime never know when, we could die but I'm hoping
I could shine for the moment, outshine my opponent
Let'em see my devotion, real shit let it soak in
Uh, I gotta do everything I can
Cuz I don't wanna live with regret, like years later yeah nigga shoulda, coulda, woulda
I gotta be a man uh, and learn how to stand on my own two feet
I'm tryna be the best nothing less to point everybody in the world wanna be like me
That'll be a dream come true, I just hope it don't fall through
I been through the rain and the pain what I'm saying is really I'm just like you
Everybody got they own struggles, ain't nobody perfect that's true
But I'ma do every fucking thing in my power just to get to where I wanna be so there Ain't no tellin' what a nigga might do
Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz I know that wherever I go
I just gotta shine
Wish I knew then what I know now I'da been better off if I got the lowdown
But regardless I was gon' shine just a matter of time I bet these muh'fuckahs know now
First thing I'ma do, put on for my city put my brothers on too
I'ma do everything that these niggas won't do
Cuz they too busy hatin' just to do what I do
They don't wanna see nobody else do it
So I'ma do it better than whatever they been doin
Got a lot on my plate trust I'ma get to it, any obstacle in my way I'ma get through it
You won't see a nigga tappin' out, you won't see a nigga bowing out
You won't see a nigga actin' out on the gram wildin' out for some muh'fuckin' clout
Nah, I'ma just let the music speak, for itself know it's twice as deep
On this level tell me what you see, through my eyes in a world so bleak
And depised is a man so weak, to sell his soul for a price so cheap
I care less what they think bout me, bet they won't get the best of me
Yeah, in the limelight so bittersweet but they know a nigga rhyme tight
I gotta make it nigga I ain't goin out like, lights out nigga night night
I gotta give it all I got this is my fight, cuz when I make it listen I know I'ma shine bright
I can't afford to be a deer up in the headlights, this is what it is nigga this is my life
Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz I know that wherever I go
I just gotta shine
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz I know that wherever I go
I just gotta shine
I remember when I had nothing I ain't think I stood a chance at a glance there was light
At the end of the tunnel had me thinking to myself like
