Shine Bright

When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down
When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down
When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down

Rapping wit these chains on in the booth they treat me special now
Pops looking down on me pray I never let you down
Its crazy when I look up cause I know that you in heaven now
Seeing dead bodies since ah kid I had dah step around
Grams use to make say ah prayer when I was stepping out
Going out in the city I'm never coming back ay
Talk about the fam and you liable to get smack ay
And I'm still da voice ah da city it's on my back Ay
Still put my heart and my soul out on these tracks ay
All this place ever brought me was pain and ah hard time
I ain't never give up I knew it wasn't over
I'm one of them soldiers
Dreams getting closer
From where I'm from it's a blessing nah get older
Gotta watch out for the backstabbers and cobras
Never been a drinker never been a smoker
But they on my level uh even when I'm sober
Tryna turn the lights down on me I'm finna shine ay
Everybody not gone get a chance but it's my time ay
God put this vision in my mind I was blind ay
I was on nah grind when nah felons was doing crime ay
Nigga touch my bruddas we probably boosting nah crime rate
Big Dreams I cant let nobody take from us
Not my mothers kid but the loyalty make us brothers
I ain't sell drugs but they call me hustler
Did for the love of the art now check the numbers
Now the city expect me to drop every summer
Remember how we came in the game they still love us
Bench press the stress it's weight that we under
Stand on that before they stand on me
How you fall from the sky but still land on feet
How you turn it to a dub everytime you got defeated
People started moving shallow I ain't hit the deep end

Don't you let em turn the lights down
When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down
When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down

Kill em wit success that's revenge it's the sweetest
It's somebody going through it right now and they need this
Hear me through the speakers I'm speaking I'm teaching
Niggas get offensive then we get on defense
I just did a show this year and had people screaming
Walked off a stage and I couldn't even believe It
I'm here for a purpose I'm here for ah reason
So many times I could died but I'm breathing
What you know bout telling somebody you need them
Then they take advantage and they leave I'm bleeding
But I'm one nah da chosen ones I'm right here succeeding
Achieving achievements
Bachelor degree in
Classics releasing
I master my pieces
Sent from the angles I'm clashing wit demons
I preach it I practice
I practice I preach it
I can see greatness wit my hands out reaching
If I never touch it does it mean I'm beneath it
Facts in my raps
Ain no skeletons or secrets
If I beat the odds does it mean that we even
If I beat the odds does it mean that we even

When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down
When it's my time to shine don't you let em turn the lights down
Trying to make my presence known
I need them to feel me, never let them dim your lights
I gotta keep going
