Shine

I swore to God that I would make it by the age of 16

I'm out here chasing all the dreams I had since I was a teen

Keep routine, I keep it moving like inhuman regimes

I been working, Tyler Dirden, two of me it's a scheme

She asked me why I'm always stressing if I'm living the dream

Told her I ain't got no commas full of problems and means

To change the world, all for the better bet I'm a fiend

I been scheming for a meaning since sway bars

Been whipping the same cars

Been sipping the same jars

Been ripping the same scars

Been wishing the same stars

But that's alright

But that's alright

Let them shine through the night

Been tripping the same flaws

Been kissing the same broads

Been living the same job's

Been wishing the same stars

Got up here without no help with nobody holding my hand

Spent these days inside the darkest times that I never planned

They all claimed I'm average below the level that passes

But ashes to ashes and dust to dust I make it happen

Keep these secrets in my mind, swear it's fine, I'm a safe

Keep these regrets in the lines I tend to rap for the sake

Of keeping healthy, mama wealthy, couple reasons I wake

Up every morning, question sanity. Great

What would you do if nobody ever believed in you

What would you do if teachers told you that school ain't for you

What is life inside the structure

What is life without a lover

What is life without ambition

To be better than the other

I could never slow it down

Too many held on my back

I got family back across the sea I'm tryna bring back

I got people needing feeding why I'm feinding to rap

I put my city on my map, I do it pray for the stars

Been whipping the same cars

Been sipping the same jars

Been ripping the same scars

Been wishing the same stars

But that's alright

But that's alright

Let them shine through the night

Been tripping the same flaws

Been kissing the same broads

Been living the same job's

Been wishing the same stars

Seems like all my fucking wishes come closer to being ambitions

The bitches that I wish kisses abandon me every instance

But I'm better off alone

Don't call my phone, won't call back

I been sober feeling stoned as if you loved me in fact

Keep it moving like you never left, I fell off the throne

I been wishing for a conversation patiently grown

To hate everyone who left me in my mind all alone

Know you got your life to live, but all my demons have shown

That they're here to stay

Permanently marked like the tats

I have to remind me of the times they hated my tracks

All of the times that I would drop and they would kick back and laugh

And now they get lit off the sack

While I get they bitches in packs

I used to dream of this

The fear of this

The tear I feel could heal the kids

Appeal in this

To deal in this

But people squeal like seals in this

It's real in this

A meal to kids

The drugs have doubled up the sips

A wheel in this

To spin the grips

But never skipping stars

Been whipping the same cars

Been sipping the same jars

Been ripping the same scars

Been wishing the same stars

But that's alright

But that's alright

Let them shine through the night

Been tripping the same flaws

Been kissing the same broads

Been living the same job's

Been wishing the same stars
