Intro (Shine)

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it sh…
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for so long man
Oh, so long
We finally here though
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
I’ve been sitting back contemplating whether I should just end it all
Then I looked my mama in the face and it told me I need to keep holding on
If not for me then for her and my bro cause they counting on me,
God’ll keep us strong
Nigga I’ve been trying hard not to crumble but lately everything been going
wrong
Last few nights crazy, Bar after bar I’ve been drinking
Called a cab to the crib did some thinking
Poured a sip and tried to do some escaping, man
Then I passed out on the floor of the living room
You can tell that I was wasted
Then I woke up to my brother staring at me
And we went and had a conversation
Told him how I felt
Thanked him cause I felt like I ain’t have nobody else
Told him I been trying not to worry he could tell I’ve been hurting
Said he knew me better than I knew my self
He said that you a light, let it shine lil bro
He told me that it’s time to stop the crying lil bro
Don’t let nobody take you off your grind lil bro
I know that you going through, we gon be fine lil bro
Asked him how he could be so sure
Looked around I ain’t see no cure
Told him I understand why the world is the way it is
People fighting with each other, it really don’t make no sense
Man, I’ll save that for another time
Shit be really getting heated like a summer vibe
In a world full of darkness that we live in
I’m a be a light homie and I’m gonna shine
I think everybody shines in different things. I know how to go to that true
spot in myself cause I’m there everyday. A lot of people (Black, White, Mexican,
young or old, fat or skinny) have a problem being true to they’re self.
They have a problem looking in the mirror and looking directly into their own
souls
2019, thank God I’m here
I’m happy that I made it safe
Cause this time around last year
Dog I swear I wasn’t in the greatest place
Lost a lot of friends, lost a lot of fam
Said they for me but they really ain’t
I hope ya’ll take a shot for me
I really hope ya’ll hear me, cause I got some things to say
People quick to say they down to ride
Til shit hit the fan, then they switching sides
I should’ve known cause my mama said it
And now I regret that we caught different vibes
When last year happened it was all so fast
Caught me by a big surprise
I’m motivated to succeed more then ever
Cause I’ve been striving for a different life
I try to shine bright, I been on that
I try to ask God if I’m on track
But do you know how it feels to be loyal to a friend, or your mans
Or some people that ain’t loyal back
Now I’m tryna take a different route
I’ve been seeing niggas different now
I got a lot more to say but I think that I gave ya’ll enough
So that’s it for now
Life equals people, place and things. And the people make the places and things.
In a world full of darkness, we don’t get to see our light. Go inside yourself
and see and know that you’re a light. And SHINE!
