My Shine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Runnin' through the moment as the Sun goes down

And all I ever wanted was to hear that sound

I stunt hard, I make it work, yeah

I make it work, yeah, I make it work, who

I live large, I make it work, yeah

I make it work, yeah

Childish Gambino, lame niggas never heard of it

Sick Boi is the crew, fuck these niggas with a dirty dick

When these mothafuckas gonna understand I'm serious?

I'm hard in the paint like I fuck her on her period

James Dean swag, leather jacket, white t-shirt

Rolled up sleeves, nigga lookin’ like a greaser

Word is born, baby my dictionary’s in labor

Listen to the Culdesac and know that was an ultimatum man

Why nobody wanna admit they like me just a little bit?

Won’t be on the freshmen list, guess I’ll just keep spittin’ shit

Never be the rapper with six hundred dollar shades

No iced-out chain, Rod Lavers all day

I was hopin’ they would see me just for me, dope rhymer

They do me like my first house, no co-signer

See you usin’ qualifiers, you don’t even know

I guess he good for a rapper who on a TV show

Even though, I was rappin’ back when Lance had chemo, ho

Even flow, Pearl Jammin’ niggas can’t leave me alone

I keep a bone for these girls who liked me back when green was low

Feel me, though, DVR my thoughts and make your TiVo grow

Runnin’ through the moment as the Sun goes down (starlight, starlight)

And all I ever wanted was to hear that sound (all night, all night)

But it’s all for you to prove it, keep on movin’, keep on usin’

My shine, my shine, my shine

Ooh, take me higher

Gambeezy make it work somethin’, let me check the syntax

Don’t add an eezy to my name, ’cause it has never been that

Aladdin on you fuckers, prince of the game from street rat

Dudes fall off, too steep like tea bags

Steady movin’, don’t worry about where I’mma be

Cause I’mma be on these tracks like indie girls on Amelie

Honesty, I'm rappin’ ’bout everything I go through

Everything I'm sayin’, I'm super sayin’ like Goku

Fuck nerdcore, fuck backpack

Fuck rap cool, I make cool rap

I make music for wack blacks to blast back

In fact, I swear the track I lie on’s my last track

Running through the moment as the Sun goes down (starlight, starlight)

And all I ever wanted was to hear that sound (all night, all night)

But it’s all for you to prove it, keep on movin’, keep on usin’

My shine, my shine, my shine

Ooh, take me higher

Running through the moment as the Sun goes down (starlight, starlight)

And all I ever wanted was to hear that sound (all night, all night)

But it’s all for you to prove it, keep on movin’, keep on usin’

My shine, my shine, my shine

Ooh, take me higher
