"Shine"

Michelle Elizabeth Tyler [4X]

There we go right there, ok were on the air

Let's go

We grew up with showbusiness on our mind

In hope to make a big name

Thats why me and my sister was a stiff competition

Show off when company came

Nothing but little, cause I was too shy

Stupid in front of the rest of the family

SHAKE THAT ASS!

Although my sister was the one with the beautiful voice

I still had to go last

Everybody wait, now I'm a cut the fools

The nigga laughing, acting goofy

I either came in the room when everybody go bye

And do the Michael Jackson and just act stupid

But lately, me and my people ain't been havin' to many family groupin's

Or maybe, it just some times heard a sweet melody of my baby who be

You was there through the struggle

As y'all come and try to reach the big picture

I'm tellin' ya

It hurt when you plan to do something with somebody you love

When it's time to do it, they can't be with you

I'm feelin' guilty to take it there, but better since you been gone

Well no matter

Must we fix up the furniture ain't the same when you ain't home baby

I'm 'a miss you forever, forget you never

But you gonna see the world through my eyes

And live what I never saw

So if you can see me way from Heaven, over the cloud

You could be proud of your little brother, so look down and smile

Shine my lady, I miss you baby

For your my baby, my love is crazy

Your my sister, I'll always miss you

No one can get ya', cause God is with ya'

Shine my lady, I miss you baby

For your my baby, my love is crazy

There's no other, it's from your brother

Your son and mother, cause we all love ya'

All the sad songs in the world

Probably couldn't express how much I miss my baby

I just thank God that I had a big sister

The 29 beautiful years that he gave her

Even the days when I misbehaved

And I knew she was gonna get that belt to pop me

I could see the aggrivation in your face

My momma said that they had to watch me

"Michelle, if you go somewhere, take Michael with you"

Know what that meant

All up and down the house trying to find how your time gonna be spent

Cause I was too hard-headed

Everywhere you said "Don't go", thats where I went

Always flipping, jumping around like a jackass,

somewhere climbing a fence

Bring me my Rocking Robin, my double dutch bust

She had some song to sang for us, we had some name brands to discuss

Plus, I want to tell her I was sorry for leaving the toilet seat up

And not cleaning out the tub, and leaving peanut butter and jelly

And drinking out the Kool-Aid jar

I pissed you off, burned you up

When you told me "Cut that music down", I turned it up

Bickering conflict cause y'all doubt how we showed out love

You was my flesh and blood, we was brother and sister

And it meant so much

Now I'm doing it, you supposed to be here

We supposed to be righting songs together

I'm telling ya', that girl tore talent shows up

But owned Tina Marie records

What you left us with, never be in vain

You gonna be shining, and they gonna know your name

Too many damn things left unexplained

But since you was an angel down here,

then an angel there you shall remain

And thats always until my time, you're my strength, you're my life

Shine
