Shine On

We are lost in, faded lovers
When we're under, feelings that never bloom
We count our cards as they fall
All the almosts really made me wonder
Will my heart escape the rain and thunder?
Then you found me in the deep blue hour
I'm never looking back

I thank God I'm breathin' takin' these meds
Tryna keep myself from fiendin'
Crack that 8, I'm leanin'
My brother against the state
I pray he beat it fuck they talkin' 'bout?
I'm too legit
These niggas hate for no reason
Momma, I'm ballin' now goin' state-to-state
Seein' everything I was dreamin'
Police takin' all my niggas
This shit make me feel alone
Lost lil' Arthur to that system
I'm tryna call through jail phones
Tryna stay out they way, let
A fuck nigga play, he get his head blown
Stay down, deserve and wait
Everybody got a day, i'ma get my shine on

I'm tryna elevate, I know it's gon' take time
Don't wanna ask for help, I know it's there
I'm too stuck in my mind
I pop these pills, I think I
Got it bad, I wanna quit, i'm tryin'
They sell me dreams, that
Shit ain't nothin' new, fake energy and time
My nigga activate off Percs
He say it seem numb the hurt
Stuck in the streets tryna find the quickest
Route but that just make it worse
Like "Fuck the mix"
I'm all they talk about but the
Hate don't seem to work
'Cause I go harder now, I ain't
Never worried 'bout the next nigga
That's for sure
One day we gon' all die, my life
I'ma live mine never know when it due over
When it come I guess it's just my time
Just hold my momma head, ten toes down
I stood on all mine
And I'm chasin' checks and stayin' blessed
I can't waste no time

I thank God I'm breathin' takin' these meds
Tryna keep myself from fiendin'
Crack that 8, I'm leanin'
My brother against the state
I pray he beat it fuck they talkin' 'bout?
I'm too legit
These niggas hate for no reason
Momma, I'm ballin' now goin' state-to-state
Seein' everything I was dreamin'
Police takin' all my niggas
This shit make me feel alone
Lost lil' Arthur to that system
I'm tryna call through jail phones
Tryna stay out they way, let
A fuck nigga play, he get his head blown
Stay down, deserve and wait
Everybody got a day, i'ma get my shine on
(Shine on)

Uh huh, it's like oh so crazy, like, I
Was on the phone with, uh, mom
The other day and she had asked me, like
How far I wanna go with this shit
I had told her though, like, I
Have a passion for this, like
This shit like a nigga heart
So like, I wanna be a superstar
Shit, all realness
(All the almosts really made me wonder)
Shit for my brothers
Ones that ain't here to see that shit
(Will my heart escape the rain and thunder?)
But, you know, I'm just me though
(Then you found me in the deep blue hour)
I'm coolin' growin' as a artist
(I'm never looking back) i'm livin' life
