Yellow Viper, yellow Hummer, Yellow Benz
Yellow PT Cruiser, yellow 'Lac on rims
Drop yellow 'Vette and a platinum Rolls Royce
That's seven different cars, everyday I got a choice
On my way to pick up Joyce, she be makin me moist
Givin me head while she hummin, she can play with her voice
And she got nice thighs, a big plump ass
She could ride a dick too, make me come fast
I like them modelin bitches, I love them swallowin bitches
Where them hoes, there they at, I'm 'bout to follow them bitches (let's go)
I know you with your folks, but that nigga is broke
You might as well open your legs up and let a nigga poke
I'm a show you what it is not to be a window shopper
Mama you can have Fendi, mama you can have Prada
All you gotta do is break a nigga off proper
You could be with your man, I ain't tryna stop ya
(Shine), from my head down to my shoes
(Shine), skiiiiirtin on twenty-two's
(Shine), check my baby mama
(Shine), whip Rover's not Honda's
(Shine), I'm a spend it 'til it's gone
(Shine), don't know when I'm comin home
(Shine), pop X and drank Cris'
(Shine), My life is the shit
Baby named me, fire Wayne, ice and change
You can catch me in an aqua Range, squattin things
With them twenty-two inch chopper blades
Diamond face, diamond brace
More colors than the game Simon Says
Go, 'hind me
And mami on forty-fifth she told me "I'm a Lez"
But she ain't like too much of dick
But gave bombest head, and so I took it anyway
But bitch I got family get your pussy anyway
OK, let's talk about this ice that I'm carryin
All these karats like I'm a fuckin vegetarian
Niggas play, I bury them, y'all already knowin
I threw up my arm and bitches thought it started snowin
See I'm a keep it goin, Big Tymin, you heard's me?
Dog I got cake like everyday my birthday
Wait, I don't think they heard me
I say dog I got cake like everyday my birthday
I'm a Hot Boy, that's name brand and top of the line
Ride fly daily, all year 'round I shine
Ain't a nigga and they mama gonna stop me dog
Come through on dub-dueces, they jock me dog
Glock cocked for haters tryna block me dog
Catch 'em so low, they geezy, don't shock me dog
Well get the fuck, slide on out the way
And let B.G. ease down the shinin linen
Let the diamonds and the jewelry light shit up
Each piece of jewelry I own, I ice it up
You don't wanna put your vehicle next to us
'Cause all of our vehicles, we dress 'em up
With television, Dreamcast, DVDs
Nice sounds, buttons, it's twenties
I'm a Cash Money Hot Big Tymer nigga
That'll hold a pinky finger up and blind ya nigga
I'm a stunt 'til I die, so you better respect it
'Cause whoever try testin is gonna be restin
I'm a young millionaire, Hot Boy, Lil' Turk
Bling blingin everyday, plus I got work (bling)
Nigga like me stay in the cut twenty-four/seven
Steady stackin my ends on dubs, twenty-four/seven
Every car you wish you had, we got it, we got it
Bentleys, Hummers and Jags, big bodies, big bodies
Love to floss, no secret stun'ner's
Niggas steady baller block, can't take nothin from us
Young nigga, livin a life surrounded by ice
Hoes be like, "Damn, them boys, they're nothin nice"
They on fire, that must be them Hot Boys
You muthafuckin right, you think this not girl?
Better think twice, get it right dog
My friends never understood my rough and rowdy ways
They think I'm the only fool my daddy ever raised
But I'm gonna shine shine shine shine see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine
Here's to the ones who do believe and disbelieve somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars Lord if they could see me now
See me shine shine shine shine see me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar that's gonna make me shine
I don't need fancy ladies wasting up my time
Give me tender loving care and the one that's mine
Make me shine shine shine shine shine make me shine
With a little luck and greenback dollar you're gonna see me shine
I like living easy I like being free
Living free and easy brings out the best in me
Makes me shine shine shine shine shine make me shine
Ooh, I'll remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I can't forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out, boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this apartment with oh, too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out, boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Give me a word and give me a sign
Show me where to go and tell what will I find
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground and fly me through the air
Show me where to go and tell me will love be there?
Will love be there?
Yeah
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Hard time getting to ya, babe
Double take, figure real rough trade
Wait and see I'm a real good lover
Can't judge a book by the cover
I know and you know, I know
Can't trust your intuition no more
You look good and I make you smile
Bet you thought I wouldn't have no style
I'm gonna turn your head around
Won't know 'til you hit the ground
Gonna change the way you feel
I'm gonna roll you like a wheel
High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, I like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine
Be a switch to say the least
My beauty gonna meet your beast
Comin' over and shake your tree
My body's gonna set you free
I know and you know, it's true
Move over, I'm coming through
High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, gonna break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine
It's all over and I got you down
I'm gonna chase you 'round and 'round
Mess around with the way that I feel
Gonna offer you a whole new deal
Lay it on ya just for kicks
Down on ya like a ton of bricks
High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, I like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine
Put on your blindfold
And a dress that's tight
And come with me
On a mystery night
Open your eyes
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
I was blind and I saw the light
My angel coming
In a brilliant white
Shine for me
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
It's difficult not to shine for me
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
It's difficult not to shine for me
Somebody has to shine for me
Now as the evening sun sets on you healer
Your day is over, your light is fading away at last
And the wolves howl after the healer
Fighting for pieces, bits of his shattered remains
All who could know it
First they curse you then they warn you so
Then they use you and then they go on
'Til they curse you and there's no more
And they turn off all the light
that you were giving away
And they burn off but they just don't seem to shine
Is it all gone, is there no one who will shine?
Don't let the secret out, it's much too early
They are not ready but the hour is close at hand
For the wolves of the world are still hungry
But they are dying, there is no healing for themYou will know by the signs you have seen before
In your seeds of life there are more to come
The healer was not alone
He will turn on all the light
that they've been hiding away
Turn on the light
He will burn off
Come on and shine you diamond shine
They will turn on all the light
that they've been hiding away
They've got to turn on the light
They will burn off
Come on shine you diamond shine
There are a million eyes watching the world tonight
Have we learned nothing?
Do we merit another chance?
By what grace have we earned some redemption
Ten million saviors, ten billion angels of man
Those who know that such miracles can be so
They arrive because they must go
And lead believers to bring it home
They'll try to make you feel, that you're not good enough
You feel so incomplete, don't let them change you
Show this whole world that you were made to
Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
Don't let them make you think, that you're not pretty enough
You're beauty runs so deep, so deep inside you
And you know that's the reason why you
Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
There's a fire inside of you, that they can never, ever understand
Take that light and burn strong and bright and
Shine, they can't shut out your light, no matter how hard they try
They try, but they never can win, cause they can't stop what's inside
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
They'll try to take you, try to break you down, remember you are born to shine
You're born to (shine) you're born to (shine) said you're born to (shine)
You're born to (shine) you're born to (I said shine) you're born to (shine)
Too easy to explain
Too easy to explain
Oh, what you'll never talk about
Too easy to explain
Oh, but you'll never see the light behind an open door
Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me
Too easy to refrain
What you'll never talk about
Too easy to refrain
But you'll never see the light behind an open door
See the light behind an open door
Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me
On these nights we shine
Love ain't all the time, we learn
I'd never want it so
Too easy to explain
But you'll never
Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me
On these nights we shine
Love ain't all the time, we learn
I'd never want it so
On these nights we shine
Love ain't all the time, we learn
I'd never want it so
We can talk, you can make your demands
We can cry cast the tears in our heads
We can laugh and dance
Under this fading moon
And when the morning comes
I’ll still be holding you
Shine brighter than a rain of falling stars
Time stops to let our hearts be synchronized
This endless night is no goodbye
This moment will last forever,
This moment will last forever,
I know you would catch me
Should I fall from grace
If I heard you drowning in the dark
I’d dive into the waves
courtesy of OriginaLyric.Info
We can make a vow and seal it with a kiss
The moments that we shared will matter more
Than those we missed
Shine brighter than a rain of falling stars
Time stops to let our hearts be synchronized
This endless night is no goodbye
This moment will last forever,
This moment will last forever
In another place, in another time
In another space, in another life
In another world you could still be mine
We’ll shine, we’ll shine
Shine, brighter than a rain of fallen stars
Time stops to let our hearts be synchronized
This endless night is no goodbye
Shine brighter than a rain of falling stars
Time stops to let our hearts be synchronized
This endless night is no goodbye
This moment will last forever,
This moment will last forever.
This moment will last forever,
Once I was lonely, living in dreams (Shine shine shine shine)
Found my heart open now shine on me
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door ....
You so beguiling, smiling at me (Shine shine shine shine)
Smiling and tender soft the breeze
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door (Shine shine shine shine)
I hear you whisper, gentle and free (Shine shine shine shine)
Laughing and loving, shining from me (Shine)
Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light
Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine
When does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine
When it does that thing
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, so bright
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
Dull as dirt, you can't assert the kind of light
That might persuade a strict dictator to retire
Fire the army, teach the poor origami
The truth is in, the proof is when
You hear your heart start asking
"What's my motivation?"
And try as you may, there is no a way
To explain the kind of change
That would make an Eskimo renounce fur
That would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
Unless you can trace this
About face to a certain sign
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
Out of the shaker and onto the plate
It isn't Karma, it sure ain't fate
That would make a deadhead sell his van
That would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks and science seeks a rationale
That shall excuse this strange behavior
When you let it shine, you will inspire
The kind of entire turnaround
That would make a bouncer take ballet
Even bouncers who aren't happy
But out of the glare with nowhere to turn
You ain't gonna learn it on, "What's My Line?"
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you've got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let'em see good works and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord
The tree you planted is still holding on
Leaves are turning
Like nothing's wrong, oh, what freedom
To only need the rain
Been without since May, ninety-four
Tricks of the mind make it feel like it's more
But I'm not special
It's the same for everyone
Hold on, baby, I'm coming for you
I can hear your voice through the wine
Teach me how to turn the page
And show me how to shine
Times I wished I was already gone
Ain't no place I can't leave when I want
But then I see their faces
And I'm frozen in my shame
Hold on, baby, I'm coming for you
I can hear your voice through the wine
Teach me how to turn the page
And show me how to shine
Sometimes the sun shuts down the little I can see
And I remember what it felt like to be me
But all at once I know that nothing is the same
And all I'm left with is the pain
Hold on, baby, I'm coming for you
I can hear your voice through the wine
Teach me how to turn the page
Speeding through space, I'm falling to fast
The present is fading away
Twisted and lost, I'm far from my home
Just hours of air left to breath
Into the void, I plunge into blackness
This mystery cones to an end
Searching and screaming and desperately pleading
In minutes my death will commence
I can't let go
Nothing left to give me hope
Showering storms of fire and ice
I tumble from mountains of sand
My senses are dull, my body is weak
My ship is in destiny's hand
Blazing with fire I call to my god
Glory to thee take my soul
Save me from pain, or raise me from hell
My body is in your control
And I can't let go
Nothing left to give me hope
I just don't know
Nothing left that I can see
Shine, on your light, see me through
Shine, end this fight, come to you
Shine, in your sun, my last hour
You will make the change and you'll begin today
You will turn around and see the world another way
You'll stand up tall and move with grace
And you will see yourself in every face, every face
You'll open up your eyes like the sunrise
Your heart will fly and you'll realize
What a gift it is to be alive, be alive
Oh be alive
Shine on, on, oh, shine on, on
Oh, shine on, on and on, yeah
You will feel the heat, so soft, so sweet
You will listen long and well before you humbly speak
Walk that mile, be the first to smile
To reach out your hand and reconcile, reconcile
And in the end you'll make amends
Be a true friend, strong enough to bend
Be grateful when you start again, start again
Oh when you start again
Shine, shine, shine, oh shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
When you're ready, oh ready
Yeah, yeah
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine on
Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok
Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take
that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers
waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love
and tell you
Shine I'll stand by you...
I can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over wound
Gonna call down to this diamond
buried underground
Gonna pull you up
by your love, by your love
and tell you
When it's said and done
What you need will come
and time won't let me
Let you let me waste it this time
Shine
Shine
Open up your life and shine your light
Shine
Open up and show the freak inside
Words don't mean nothing
His words don't mean nothing
He has no shame
He will say anything
Just to get what he needs
He says he needs
The right girl
To heal his hurt
And change his world
He will say anything
To make her think
He is the man
She wants him to be
Shine
Open up your life and shine your light
Shine
Open up and show the freak inside
The girl had a good plan
To find herself a good man
The kind of guy that you hear about
But you never seem to meet
She hides
Behind those bright eyes
Fake smiles and sex
And white lies
Yeah
She is
Trying too hard
To be the way
That she thinks
She's supposed to be
Come on
Shine

Open up and show the world
The freak inside
You are afraid to shine
To see what's deep inside
Go find your freak and let it drive
You are afraid to shine
To see what's deep inside
Go find your freak and let it glide
You sing the same old song
Been in the dark too long
There is so much more than meets the eye
Don't be afraid to shine
Go find out who you are inside
Just go and find your freak and let it fly
Let me see you
Shine
Shine
Let me see you
Shine
Shine
I want to see you
Shine
Shine
Come on let me see you
Shine

Come on
Shine
Let me see you
Open up and shine your light

Little girl pretty face
Keeps her smile up in a case
She knows all the bars all the cars
She's known in every place
And her eyes shine so bright
She likes floating through the night
She is here and there she's everywhere
It makes her feel alright
There she goes
She is shining like the sun
There she goes
She's so beautiful and young
And she knows
Love will always turn to hate
And she knows
She must leave the spot before it is to late
She just wants to have some fun
Here today tomorrow gone
And she needs another stage
'Cause the last one has just turned into a cage
Little girl pretty face
She has left without a trace
She knows all the bars all the cars
It's just another place
And her eyes shine so bright
She is floating through the night
She is here and there she's everywhere
It's about to be on
It's about to be on
Ya'll came here to give it up
So come on and show me what you got
It's about to be on baby non-stop
Tonight you're gonna get your time to shine
Nobody but stars in here tonight
Dancing underneath the party light
When I see you working that body right
Tonight you're gonna get your time to shine
I've been waiting, now I'm ready for the main event
All the ladies and the players in here dressed to kill
Choose a winner who has flavor looking on for style
Only the best can pass the test, let me check you out
In the midst of a fierce competition
Get a view from a better position
A little closer now you got my attention
Maybe your my, my, my, my, my superstar
Keep showing me moves that are blazing
'Cause you're teasing my imagination
Don't believe I can fight temptation
I think you already know that
Ya'll came here to give it up
So come on and show me what you got
It's about to be on baby non-stop
Tonight you're gonna get your time to shine
Nobody but stars in here tonight
Dancing underneath the party light

Tonight you're gonna get your time to shine
It's about to be on
Your time, your time to shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine groove shine
It's alright, alright to shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine it's alright
Spotlight search for someone special, could you be the one?
If you're not, then don't get jealous, just keep moving on
Feet to the beat, so hot the heat, springing off the shine
So clean, so fresh, a real good catch, so I'm gonna make you mine
In the midst of a fierce competition
Get a view from a better position
A little closer now you got my attention
Maybe your my, my, my, my, my superstar
Keep showing me moves that are blazing
'Cause you're teasing my imagination
Don't believe I can fight temptation

Ooh I remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I can't forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this apartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames they're not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
But your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded like the summer run through
So we walk doen the shore line one last time together
Feel the wind blow our wandering hearts like a feather
But who knows who's waiting in the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We're gonna go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious and the seasons so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appears or how far the first night when I held you near
You've gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
For all that we struggle for all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing except love in the end
And ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds as it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing you just can't compromise
Step out of the shadows
You gotta go where we can shine
Oh we're gonna go where we can shine
Shine
Ocean sea floor
I've been waiting for you
See less, be more
Where you been?
With a teenage head
And the trouble you've bought
If you slow down now
Then you're gonna get caught
Darkness before
I've been waiting for you
Charlie Brando
Where you been?
With a teenage head
And the trouble you turn
If you slow down now
Then you're gonna get burned
All I wanted was to live on my blind side
Every shadow's like another bad dream
Move fast and Mister dim those headlights
Don't let 'em shine in front of me
Silent swallow
I'm still praying for you
Darkness shadow
Where you been?
With a teenage head
And the trouble you turn
If you slow down now
Then you're gonna get burned
All I wanted was to live on my blind side
Every shadow's like another bad dream
Move fast and Mister dim those headlights
Don't let 'em shine in front of
All I wanted was to live on my blind side
Every shadow's like another bad dream
Move fast and Mister dim those headlights
Don't let 'em shine in front of me
With a teenage head
And the trouble you've bought
If you slow down now
Then you're gonna get caught
All I wanted was to live on my blind side
Every shadow's like another bad dream
Move fast and Mister dim those headlights
Don't let 'em shine in front of
Don't let 'em shine in front of
Winter's weighing on your shoulders
It's hanging around a little too long
And I can see it in your eyes
You've taken on a load that's just too strong
Oh, but let me get down to the heart of the matter
Baby, if you want I can make it better now
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Everybody's got a cross to carry
Everybody's got a story they can tell
Ya know you're not the only one counting on a quarter and wishing well
Woah don't you sit there with your heart under lock and key
Gimmie one chance baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Sometimes in this life good luck don't shine like it suppose to do
When there's no one you can trust and they just keep on giving up on you
Baby, don't ya know that I won't ever let ya down
Come on now, wooo
Oh, don't sit there with your heart under lock and key
Just gimmie one chance and baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
And you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
You know I'll find a way
Find a way, find a way
Who cares for the life we earned
Someone sold all the truth you yearned,
Remember when you used to shine
And had no fear or sense of time
When it creeps up on you
You can cry now there¹s nothing to feel
No one¹s noticed our loneliness
Remember when you should have teased
And made us scream eternal time
I believed that you¹d always be here
And once you promised a life with no fear
Please don¹t break my ideas
And say what thing was always real
I was ...
Take me back again
I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded
Like the summer run through
So we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
In the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We gotta go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow
Or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious
And the season so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appear
Or how far the first night
When I held you near
You gotta rise from these ashes
Like a bird of flame
Step out of the shadow
We've gotta go where we can shine
For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing
Except love in the end
And ours is a road
That is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds
As it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing
You just can't compromise
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
(and look, and look)
Through the windows of midnight
Burn the bridge
And severe all ties to the right
Kiss the kids
Cause daddy's gone off to fight
Brace yourself
For the search and seizure of the land
We'll spread the wealth
And finally gain the upper hand
In death and taxes
God we trust
E.Pluribus unum shine
I rust
Hang 'em high
And don't cut em' down till you're told
We're justified
In taking back what they stole
Mad as hell
We desecrate in disgrace
Dry, the well
You kick the dirt in my face
In death and taxes
God we trust
E.Pluribus unum shine
Lord, we have seen the rising sun, awakening the early dawn
And we're rising up to give You praise
Lord, we have seen the stars and moon, see how they shine
They shine for You and You're calling us to do the same

And we rise up with a cry

Exploding into life like a Supernova's light
Set Your holy church on fire

Let Your holy church arise
Exploding into life like a Supernova's light
Set Your holy church on fire, we will shine, yeah, we will shine

So we rise up with a song
And we rise up with a cry
And we're giving You our lives
You, you're such a big star to me
You're everything I wanna be
But you're stuck in a hole
And I want you to get out
I don't know what there is to see
But I know it's time for you to leave
We're all just pushing along
Trying to figure it out, out, out
All your anticipation pulls you down
When you can have it all
You can have it all, all, all
So come on, come on, get it on
I don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on, see the light on your face
Let it shine, just let it shine, let it shine
Stop being so hard on yourself
It's not good for your health
I know that you can change
So clear your head and come 'round
You only have to open your eyes
You might just get a big surprise
And it may feel good
And you might want to smile, smile, smile
Oh don't you let your demons pull you down
'Cause you can have it all
You can have it all, all, all
So come on, come on, get it on
I don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on, see the light on your face
Let it shine, just let it shine, let it shine
Hey! Let me know you
You're all that matters to me
Hey! Let me show you

So come on, come on, get it on
I don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on, see the light on your face
Let it shine, just let it shine, let it shine

You're all that matters to me

You're all that matters to me
(Oh come on)
Hey! So come on yeah

Shine all your light over me
When I was born they christened me plain Samuel Johnson Brown
But I hadn't grown so very big, 'fore some folks in this town
Had changed it 'round to, "Sambo", I was "Rastus" to a few
Then "Chocolate Drop" was added by some others that I knew
And then to cap the climax, I was strolling down the line
When someone shouted, "Fellas, hey! Come on and pipe the shine!"
But I don't care a bit
Here's how I figure it
Well, just because my hair is curly
And just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Likes to dress up in the latest style
Just because I'm glad I'm livin'
Takes trouble smilin', never whine
Just because my color's shady
Slightly different maybe that's why they call me shine
Say, just because my hair is curly
And just because my teeth are pearly
And just because I always wear a smile
I wear my jeans like a man I mean
He always dresses in the latest style
Just because I'm glad I'm livin'
Takes trouble smilin', never whine
Just because my color's shady
You could never be
What you wanted to be
'Cause sweetheart it takes time
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see
You'll be a Russian acrobat
You'll be like Burt Bacharach
You come to the party, you say "What's new pussycat?"
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see
Don't wanna talk about it
You come around to tell it
You're beautiful can't you see?
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see
(Someday you're gonna shine)
(Someday you're gonna shine)
Someday you're gonna shine
Someday you're gonna shine (aaah)
Someday you're gonna shine
Someday you're gonna shine (you're gonna) (aaah)
Someday you're gonna shine
Someday you're gonna shine (aaah)
Yeah someday you're gonna shine (you're gonna shine)
Michelle Elizabeth Tyler
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
This is the last time I will talk to you
I feel like I'm in a blocked state of mind
Am I getting through
I'm on a free fall
So hard
Hard for me to shine
Been so long
If you look real closely
You can see right through
The pain I created
I'm putting us through
I'm on a free fall
So hard
Hard for me to shine
Been so long
To find
Try and find myself
Hardest thing I've ever done
To find
Try and find myself
I'm on a free fall
if I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
and if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way,
I wouldn't be here!

You got wings on your fingers
In the middle of a battle
Is a little of the way you talk
And you shine
You got cobwebs on your halo
In the closet there are skeletons
Lined up ready to talk
And they shine
Fade into what
Made into hours
And pulled into lines
You got a ring around your finger
And a heart in the bottle
That never really learned to talk
And they shine
You got brickbats on your beltway
In the middle is a puzzle
With the pieces that have turned to slop
Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see right through the haze
Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes (shine on me today)
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today
When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound in your voice well it fills my eyes with tears of joy
'Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent
Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes (shine on me today)
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I'll free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me
Shine, come on and let it shine (come on and let it shine)
Light me up, make me feel alive (wake me up)
You've got what it takes (you've got what it takes) (shine on me today)
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Come on and shine (shine)
Shine
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me today
Shine (please)
Shine on me today
Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under

You know it tears me up inside
To see the feelings that you hide
Hide inside that empty bottle
I wish, you saw how great you were
I wish, you saw what life was worth
You wouldn't have to hide your problems
And I don't care what you might think
I think, you've had too much to drink
Can't even talk when you're this way
Run away, run away
But that won't make it any better
Run away, run away
And make tomorrow harder to live than today
There's so much out there you could miss
There's so much life out there to live
If you would just believe in yourself
You know, you're better than all of this
You know, you've got so much to give
But you're so afraid to give of yourself
And I don't care what you might think
I think, you've had too much to drink
Can't even talk when you're this way
Run away, run away
But that won't make it any better
Run away, run away
And make tomorrow harder to live than today
There's a bright light shining inside you
It shines out through your eyes
Don't drown it away, don't be afraid, don't hide
Let it shine, oh, oh, let it shine
You say, you're looking for happiness
But when it comes, you run away from it
You tell yourself you don't deserve it
There's not much more that I can do
And now the rest is up to you
Until you love yourself, you'll never change
Run away, run away
But that won't make it any better
Run away, run away
And make tomorrow harder to live than today
Run away, run away
But that won't make it any better
Run away, run away

shine, shine
I'm so depressed, I'm so alone
with my own thoughts
they, never been told
it's like a tunnel, no light sorrounds me
I loose my aim
and I'm in grief
shine, shine...
my time will come, then I'll shine
I'm looking back
subjected life
until it's true I must be strong
I've to stand tall
without a doubt
am I blind

shine - shine - shine - shine
it's just one step, it's just one thought

to carry on
it's not for you, only for me
it's like a wonder
and now I'm in love
am I blind
no, I'll shine, I'll shine, I will...
shine - shine
that was my story of bitterness and no glory
There I was alone in the shadow
Couldn't find my way
Then you came in
And brought along the sunshine
Now you're here to stay
(Chorus) You make me shine, shine
Like the stars in the heavens
Shine, shine
You keep me shinning through
Shine, shine
With the light that you give in, it's true
I'm shinning on, all because of you
So watch me go
A light shines within me
People ask me why
And I just smile & tell them you're the reason
I've cast the darkness aside
(Repeat Chorus)
(Coda) Like a ray of light
Coming through the night
bright as the stars in the sky
See how I shine
Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look and tell what will I find, what will I find?
Lay me on the ground, fly me in the sky
Show me where to look and tell what will I find, what will I find?
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let Your light shine down

Remember then? good and plenty days
When the wind blew clouds in shapes as the sun beat down
Remember then? now and later days
When the kids came out to play
All of life was now
And the future seemed so far away
And we'd shine shine shine
Runnin' through the dandelions in the summertime of my life
Remember then? bit o honey days
Back when 8-tracks were the craze with that far-out sound
And the future seemed so far away
And we'd shine shine shine
Runnin' through the dandelions in the summer sun havin' fun
And we'd shine shine shine
We were happy by design in the summertime of my life
I never had a second thought about lookin' back
If I was headed down that road there'd be no turnin' back
Remember then? good and plenty days
When the wind blew clouds in shapes as the sun beat down
And the future seemed so far away
Shine shine shine runnin' through the dandelions
In the summer sun havin' fun
And we'd shine shine shine we were happy by design
Just me and four walls
It's cold outside
Nothing to eat
I got small talk and cigarettes
Inside my head - inside my head
I need you now
Everything I want
You know it means
Nothing to me
And I'm all out of cigarettes
The sky is red - inside my head
I need you now
Talking to me
Let it shine shine shine (shine on me)
Let it shine
Seen fields of winter wheat
In rolling waves
Move like the sea
And free birds dive to the ground
They disappear - I don't know where
Love only knows
And everything glows
Let it shine shine shine (shine on me)
Let it shine
You got to believe - how can you be so cold
Make me believe - you got no faith - shine on me
You got no faith
Let it shine shine shine (shine on me)
Let it shine
Ho visto il Missisipi
Come un mare
Amdare all'inferno
E un angelo
Tuffarsi
X non tornare, x non tornare
I never really feel quite right
I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it
I'm following every footstep
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was looking for, yeah
You looked through me, you really knew me
Like no one has ever looked before
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
I know, I know, girl you got something
Shine, shine it on to me
Shine down on me, I wanna feel it
Shine on this life that's burning out
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me, just show me something
Shine on this life that's burning out
You give me something that I never know
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
Shine, shine down on me
I know what i'm all about, nobody's gonna change me,
I stand my ground and deal with negativity,
I got my mind made up,
I'm gonna do whatever makes me happy,
One step at a time, I chose my own destiny.
There’s no doubt, what it's all about
My dreams are coming true,
Won't stop can't stop,
DO what i need to do,
I can stand upon my own,
No one can bring me down down,
I know i'm gonna shine shine, shine shine
I will hold my head up high,
I'm gonna make it through, through
Because it's my time to shine shine, Shine shine.
I don't let things get to me,
I wanna live stress free,
No one, and nothing gonna get the best of me,
Believe in myself no matter how hard things may seem,
Keep climbing to the top,
My dreams will be in reach, (Ohhh)
I'll never lose sign of what i want in my life,
I'll stay true to myself,
No one can tell me, what the future holds,
I'll stay strong no matter,
I will survive, I'm gonna shine.
(c'mon, yeah, uh,
I can stand upon my own,
No one can bring me down down,
How long was I sleeping?
Did you wake me?
Didn't feel like all that long
Do I see the morning?
No it can't be, happened to me
I've been stuck in the quicksand
More the pavement
Colours black and white too long
I could black out completely
But I made me, make my way back slowly
It's my time to shine
Do it my way cause it's my time, baby
It's my time to burn
Start a fire, be the one and only
I said it, I meant it, I never will forget it
Change never happens by itself
It's my time to burn, my time to shine
Time to make it for myself
How long was I buried?
Couldn't find me, laid to rest, my heart beats on
Kept track of the symptoms
Could've killed me
But you will see
I'm not broken, I could be
Yeah, you would be
But my heart is much too strong
God, I thought it was easy
But I made me
I made me slowly
It's my time to shine
Do it my way cause it's my time, baby
It's my time to burn
Start a fire, be the one and only
I said it, I meant it, I never will forget it
Change never happens by itself
It's my time to burn, my time to shine
Time to make it for myself
Don't be sad, I know you will
It's just the way it has to be
I can never stay the same
It's always high, always low, and almost never in between
There is no one left to blame
I can't stay
I have to change
It's my time to shine
Do it my way cause it's my time, baby
It's my time to burn
Start a fire, be the one and only
I said it, I meant it, I never will forget it
Change never happens by itself
It's my time to burn, my time to shine
Time to make it for myself
Make a change, shine on, shine on
Do it your way, shine on, shine on
Make a change, shine on, shine on

Once I was lonely, living in dreams (Shine shine shine shine)
Found my heart open now shine on me
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door ....
You so beguiling, smiling at me (Shine shine shine shine)
Smiling and tender soft the breeze
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door (Shine shine shine shine)
I hear you whisper, gentle and free (Shine shine shine shine)
shine
i heard her sing
i need a voice given anything
all i want to dream
flattery
days that never come
to shine a light on the damage done
somedays without a sound
i feel the dark even closer now
i wear it
a winter coat
i'm far away but not far enough
what's true is torn
and shouted down
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
and it shines
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
sleep, it never comes
i lay awake
all the shutters drawn
look at me i'm shamed
my bottle done
i hear her beating down on dirty wings
i feel the room move under me
i'm far away but not far enough
what's true is torn
and out of place
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
and it shines
shine
i heard her sing
a crooked voice and a dirty wings
beating under me
flattery
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
on its drums and its wheels
shine
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
[hook]
i shine, you shine
[verse 1]
float in that wide-body roadster
top down, feel like the sky closer
get a fix, you know my life addictive
might already wake up in the arms of a vixen
started with a dream and a half-ounce
somehow i end up in a party up in puff house
how you want it? my kicks is nine hundred
all i see is ghosts and phantoms, my life haunted
raindrops falling, dancing on my bentley
feel like the angels crying, lord help me
living for the moment, fuck the cost dancer
throwing singles out, focus on the dancer
made it out of brooklyn but my heart in brooklyn
black bandanna, yeah, this one for brooklyn
so fuck a record deal, nigga, my record real
black smith and wesson, holding on my tec and steel
[hook]
[hook 2]
this is how we do
this is how we do everything all day
this is how we do
this is how we do everything all night
[verse 2]
champagne stains on my bent seats
got my own set of keys, swizz beatz
pretty women penetrated over silk sheets
violators gets smacked in they front seat
don't sleep cause you know what i'm about, huh
how i fuck celebrities, then rap about them
no conscience cause we're real dark tints
prayed for my life and never bothered losses
fuck when it's over, see you for like a million
rocks that gold, my diamonds light up a building
this is how i do, mac 11 in a range ro'
if i really changed, it's the fame you should blame fo'
so this is for my dogs in them dark things
fantasizing bout nicki in her g-string
never losing, winning is a state of mind
just remember, if i shine, you shine
[hook]
[hook 2]
[verse 3]
i shine, you shine
in this day and time, who maintains, stay on the grind
dedication, put in work
let the dom circulate
split it with family, call it reparations
dealing with bricks on consignment
set a nigga straight just like wheel alignments
cause it don't die when you dap and relocate
watch re-enactments on 1st 48
it's like, 'i don't know, your honor'
i plead the fifth, death before dishonor
it's like the game all twisted
we in it for the long run, we going the distance
plus bucks in my pockets never slowed up
got shooters that salute when i show up
aim good plus the dream's still thorough
ay yo main, this one for the borough

[hook 2]
Nothing in this world
Seems to function without tears
You oughta' know
There's no need to pull yourself apart
Nothing you can do
seems to matter without love
You oughta' know
Everything you've got will be enough
All the things you are
Could stay locked
up inside
far from the light of day
It's much more than a matter of pride
Can't you hear them saying
Shine _ aah
Let it be a light that burns within -
Open up and
Shine - aah
Never mind the darkness closing in
You can rise above and
Shine - aah
Just close your eyes and shine
Whatever you may do
Don't forget about the little things
- small as they may seem
They all add up to someone
else's dreams
Whatever you may think
No- one wants to show you the way
- you can be the one
There's no better time to call the play
All the things you do
Will stay with you wherever you go
- no use in trying to hide
It's much more than a matter of show
All you've got to do is
Shine, shine, shine
Everyday when I'm rollin' through the hood
Playas watch me 'cos they know I
Shine, shine, shine
Hey! I know I'm shinin', a fresh pair of whities and a crispy T on
Love to hate me 'cos you know I'm gonna
Shine, shine, shine
Keep doin' what you doin'
It's ya time and its ya shine
I love the way you ride
I hope you shine
The party starts tonight
My friends are comin' over
I really think you fly
Tonight's the night
Shine, shine, shine
I shine like Neptune, Venus, and Mars in yo face in yo state
In and out of cars, in a state, with a date with one of my broads
But you gotta leave that bitch before she gets your dick hard
Thats what shinin' about and when you get the hoe
You can tear her linin' out, what you whinin about?
You in the presence of pimpin', I'm walkin' while limpin'
And holdin' on the drink that I'm sippin', I'm flippin' the script and
I'm slidin' while I'm dippin' my whipin', out of traffic
Its so drastic, boombastic, this shits a hit, Jadakiss
Matter fact nephew, this bitch is a classic
Pass this ayo locy loc' let's blow some dope
Better yet lets go for dough, hoe for hoe
I'm so fa sho, and so low and sensational
You know how I do it
Shine, shine, shine
Everyday when I'm rollin' thru the hood
Playas watch me cuz they know I
Shine, shine, shine
Hey I know I'm shinin', a fresh pair of whities and a crispy T on
Love to hate me 'cuz you know I'm gonna
Shine, shine, shine
Keep doin' what you doin'
Its ya time and its ya shine
I love the way you ride
I hope you shine shine shine shine
The party starts tonight
My friends are comin' over
I really think you fly
Tonight's the night
Shine shine shine
Now whats the haps on the bottle cap, I want a snow bunny
I'm Rick James bitch! I got the show money
And I ain't hatin' for nothin', but it be so funny
How cowards be wantin' see me with my eyes and nose runny
I got nouns and verbs while you got pounds of curbs
And one of us got a place if we around the burbs
I'm fittin' like a lego block, you bulls hittin' while I'm sittin'
In an 8 drop, these suckaz tell me keep it gangsta
But they don't know, when they ain't lookin'
I be hearin' population control
Then I'm lookin' for a breezy with a whole lotta soul
So I can have a malfunction in my wardrobe
Sip! Not the Jada with the smith
It's the Jada with the fo' 5th, clutchin' on the 5th
With Snoop be in the front and his jewelry shinin'
All through his clothes and lil niggaz in the back on the low
But I still shine though
Shine, shine, shine
Everyday when I'm rollin' thru the hood
Playas watch me 'cuz they know I
Shine, shine, shine
Hey! I know I'm shinin', a fresh pair of whities and a crispy T on
Love to hate me 'cuz you know I'm gonna
Shine, shine, shine
Keep doin' what you doin'
It's ya time and its ya shine
I love the way you ride
I hope you shine shine shine shine
The party starts tonight
My friends are comin' over
I really think you fly
Tonight's the night
Shine shine shine
Like a African diamond its deeper than rappin' and rhymin'
Success happens with timin', over here I'm doin' low with the punk
When I'm over there I'm on the low low with my uncle
And all the bitches lookin for us
But I ain't lookin for puss, right now ma' I'm lookin for cush
And I'm strapped with the pound and house shoes, Khakis, T shirts
Thats my surroundings, air force ones, Jeans city
Lab a fitted thats when I'm back in the town
Don't get it confused I'm proud to be gone
Be home in a year with duffle bags out on the lawn
So much money my niggaz keep countin' it wrong
So many hits I cant keep count of the songs
And we still grindin', stainless still nine
And y'all still hate but we still shinin' lets go!
Shine, shine, shine
Everyday when I'm rollin' through the hood
Playas watch me 'cuz they know I
Shine, shine, shine
Hey I know I'm shinin', afresh pair of whities with a crispy T on
Love to hate me cuz you know I'm gonna
Shine, shine, shine
Keep doin' what you doin'
It's ya time and its ya shine
I love the way you ride
I hope you shine dhine shine shine
The party starts tonight
My friends are comin' over
I really think you fly
Tonight's the night
Stretch past the edge and now I feel like breaking
My back against the wall
There's little left and nothing is here to faze me
Still summer fades to fall
When the meaning feels so far from healing it's still my one cure, all
Still dreams collide where words can't describe
All the distance waiting outside
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
So stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
Let's paint the town a thousand conversations
So many names to know
Drift through the crowd and take my hand to go now
I've got to let you know
A thousand lights shine in the valley below
We're still the brightest star, my brightest star
Still dreams collide where words can't describe
All the distance waiting outside
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
So stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
Don't you love the way a little quiet solves everything
When you can't help wondering how's it gonna be?
Stretch past the edge and now I feel like breaking
My back against the wall
There's little left and nothing is here to faze me
Still summer fades to fall
When the meaning feels so far from healing it's still my one cure, all
My one cure, all
Still dreams collide where words can't describe
All the distance waiting outside
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
So stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine
So stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?

Lucky that you found me
You gotta hang around me some more
Cause I'll remind you
I'll be around
While you're waging your war
With yourself
And I
See it clearer than you see it
You gotta get out of your head to believe it
Oh I know something about you
You don't know I know
That's where you shine
When you're sinking you swim
When you see your way out instead of in
That's where you shine
Like a diamond in the rough
You're always so resilient
That's where you shine
When you're walking the edge
No one's ever gonna catch you stumbling
That's where you shine
Remember when you told me
To get up and dust yourself off
It wasn't easy
Everything can change
And it usually does
It does
You said
Shake it off like it ain't no big thing
Won't be the last time we're sinking
Oh, I know some things about you
You don't know
That's where you shine
When you think you've had enough
Just a matter of time before you fade
That's where you shine
Like a clear in the brush
Like a headlight breaking through the haze
That's where you shine
When there's nothing but no
And there's nowhere to go
You find a way
That's where you shine
Sometimes you need someone to see yourself clearer
There's no reflection when it's you inside the mirror
The night is drawing on but all the strain not told on him
And he won't fall into the sleep of the just
To be a tumbler or a lonesome intruder
He is as good as gold and searching for trust
(be), to be the harlequin who shines in dead gold
To kill those idle thoughts about this stronghold
(see), see the evening star in this sunset glow
Sailing the splendour ships straight on the port bow
(pre-chorus)
Strike the sands of ever
The lingering sound of dreams
In harsh reality
Turn over a new leaf
Ardently desired
And forever
(chorus)
(shine), it fired his imagination so far
And he gave rise to hope
(shine), this true ring of conviction will leave a scar
(to) the dancer on a rope
(shine), so where's the difference between man and machine?
And who will draw the line?
(shine), the game is worth the candle, always been
May all the ways then shine
Sometimes he's worlds apart and elsewhere lies his dream
And he won't never shift the blame on you
Sometimes a parting kiss speaks louder than action
When life turns suddenly like a bolt from the blue
(he), he's not the silver slave supposed to be
He's on the rise to fame out of this tragedy
(free), so now the odds are even, literally true
There is no limit to it all, there is no taboo
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Don't clip those wings of a flying
When wearing your heart on your sleeve
But still there is life among dying
The far cry off and make-believe
In this palatial hallway
Should all be null and void?
Between the tricks of fortune
In years that he enjoyed
He is the one enigma
High-flown beneath the sun
Is he the last resort?
When future has begun
Walk straight into the light
Strapped down in the ambulance
Keep falling out of life
Near death this time
Holding on a thread
Lysergic ignorance
Has my wife been notified
Oh dear your husbands dead
Hold my hand believe
My hell is burning bright
I feel it change
I know eternally you shine
Can you feel my heart beat
Pump harder find a pulse
Change veins with that IV
Please William breathe
All I see are autumn leaves
Rain down on the ambulance
Still strapped to the gurney I
Crash crash I want my life
Sign of the times
This ambulance ride
Offer up this life
Wake up, signs of life, hollow flesh
Sister my head of creation
On the last train leaving the station
We got vast love, no destination
Tonight we will be forever baby
Sister, my head resistance
Tonight we will be together
There are strange gods ahead in the distance
On a fast trip to another existence
Tonight we'll be together
We will always shine
Shine on forever, shine on whatever
Shine like a million star
We shine
Shine on forever
We're in this together now
Shine like a million star we shine
Sister we got a connection
It's the last dance, the final injection
You are my way out
My head of direction and
I don't wanna lose you baby,
I don't wanna lose you baby,
Tonight we will be together,
We will always shine,
Shine on forever, shine on whatever,
Shine like a million star
We shine
Shine on forever
We're in this together now
Shine like a million star
We shine we shine
Sister in a moment we'll be gone
Sister in a second we will be one
Sister we're helplessly falling
Tonight we will be together
We will always?shine
Shine on forever, shine on whatever,
Shine like a million star
We shine
Shine on forever
We're in this together now
Shine like a million star
We shine, shine together
When I've gone too far
When I've had enough
When I'm losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple piece of mind
Like a neighborhood
On a city street
I know the path
It knows my feet
And when I feel afraid
Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow
You shine when others need you
You speak and I believe you
I know the light, it guides you
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine
The way you see the world
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it go away
I love the way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight
And when I feel unnoticed
Just two steps back from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are
I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
In my life I know you shine
You shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine
And everyday's another opportunity
I?ve been hiding
Inside myself
Always wondering what
You thought of me
Somehow thinking
That if you could
See inside
You?d know too much
About me
I?ve been wondering
If you?re worrying
About the same things
As me
I decided
Having tried it
With all simplicity
Get up get up get up
Keep on getting
Getting up
You got to find your light
It?s the way choose
Today it?s the only way
To the path that will ease your mind
And Shine
I?ve been trying to find myself
Looking for the best that I can be
Wont deny that
It's sometimes hard
But wont let it get the best of me
I?ve been wondering
If you?re worrying
About the same things
As me
I decided
Having tried it
With all simplicity
Get up get up get up
Keep on getting
Getting up
You got to find your light
It?s the way choose
Today it?s the only way to ease your mind
there is no reason to run anymore
no reason to hide away
since He's come into my life
He's brought sunshine to my day
Chorus
i will let my light shine
no more shadows
i will let my light shine
darkness run away
i will let my light shine
for a bright tomorrow
i will let my light shine
no more casting shadows
no more living lies
since He's come into my life
He's brought sunshine to my skies
Chorus 2x
No doubt (no doubt), no doubt, ahh
Sewer rats in ya area (feel that)

Intro/Chorus:
If iggity-I shine then you shine
E'rybody shine, niggity-nuttin but the money on the mind
If I shine then you shine
E'rybody shine, niggity-nuttin but the money on the mind
If I shine then you shine
E'rybody shine, niggity-nuttin but the money on the mind
If I shine then you shine
E'rybody shine, niggity-nuttin but the money on the mind
Verse One: Dray
Well iggity-ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I'm miggity-makin all the money everytime I bust
No fuss, fully blown, Benz fully chrome
Flips celly phone, Diggy Das, once again it's on
It's Dray Boogie, no rookie, a tough cookie
Biggity-blow the spot everytime they book me
The big boys we're makin big noise
Biggity-bubblin and pushin big toys
>From the corner to the stage, front page
Riggity-rockin the age, dropped the dime, please
So give a toast to the host, East Coast
West Coast, this here's just a small dose
Jump in the square this year, we take the whole pie
No lie, the platinum and the gold eye
Keep it jumpin, got the beat thumpin, pumpin
Yiggity-yes y'all, I know one thing
Chorus
Verse Two: Skoob
Yo, yo
I pliggity-play the back like a NFL safety
I wiggity-won't let the game break me even though the game's shaky
and the player's flaky, they niggity-need someone to boss em
Set up my office now e'rybody flossin
If niggas is hot, I'm ultraviolet
If niggas is fly then I'm the pilot, friggity-frequent flier mileage
Cash flowin, over throwin, motor rollin
Play the low and keepin niggas not knowin, yo
It's like the wind beneath my wing, everything that I sing

Knock the bastard, smiggity-smack it out the park, right
Sewer rats, tiggity-tales from the darkside archive
Chorus
Verse Three: Dray, Skoob
You buy the stocks off some sideblocks and buy Glocks to fight cops
Buy spots, niggity-never ever ride jocks
Bubblegoose, fat Benz, fat Timbs
Fat ends, fat rings, biggity-best scams
We got a fool-proof hustle, lotta muscle
So miggity-make sure to put the money in the duffle
What's miggity-mines is yours and yours is mines
If iggity-I shine then you shine, the crew shine
You rock the Benz, son, I rock the Range
Giggity-got nuttin to lose and e'rything to gain, I'm sayin
forget the pain and the struggle, and all the trouble
Up in the jungle wit my man now we're seein double
Rain drain my play away
Sun gun me down and burn me
Nature hates me today
My head distorts reality
Madness just moved into my shadow
Shine - I will not cry and I will not die no
Shine - I will be there for me
Shine - I will not cry and I will be mine
I'll shine - shine
Who waltzed me into this
Am I now stuck here forever?
Luck just gave me a kiss
Then lashed me down with a leather strap
Trying to learn to swim without any water
Trying just to begin just when youre in for the slaughter
Shine - I will not cry and I will not die no
Shine - I will be there for me
Shine - I'll be just fine if I stay all mine
I'll shine - shine,
You will love me as a winner
'Shine' was written awhile before Mindsize was recorded and, in fact, had no ties (musically) to any other songs that we had written. It was set apart in that it featured piano, something we hadn't had much of before. In retrospect, naming the song 'Shine' wasn't the brightest idea (no pun intended)... since every band out there seems to have a 'Shine' song. Oh well.
This song's meaning can really be wrapped up in the chorus, "In a simple way, though I be so wrong, though I turn away, I know where I belong". Sometimes we turn to the right or to the left looking for what we think is needed in our lives, but we can only be fulfilled in Christ.
What is it like when it's gone?
All the day and the night and the song
And what seems so real
Is what keeps us from the dawn
Truly I know it sometimes
I see the reasons and signs
That this world can only
turn so many times
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
Feelings all around in me
Do this, do that, and you'll see
That it's hard to find
Just what we need where we seek
I'll say it again that I've tried
To find the right ways on this ride
Where we're upside down
And we still will try to hide
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
And the Son will shine
And the reign won't fall
And I know inside
How He loves us all
Our hands will get so that they
Can't pull us up all the day
We need to find that
Dream on, dream on baby, let it go
Fly so high, fly so high baby, let it go
You light my soul, you light my soul baby, let it go
I will shine, you will shine baby, let it go
We will shine baby, let it go
When the revelation comes, beyond the frozen sun
We must hide inside each other's moonlight, baby
Then when it's time to shine, it's written in your eyes
And we can live inside each other's daydreams maybe
You wanna ride with me now, you wanna fly so high
With eyes like holes in the sun, you're gonna touch the sky
You wanna walk in the stars and tie yourself to the moon
You know your future is comin' and it's comin' soon
You want the druids to take you in their magic hands
And send your soul far beyond the walls of neverlands
And when we wake on the shores that bring the dawn of time
You know the light in your eyes, it will forever shine
Oh yeah, alright, shine on
I am the sun that will shine forever in your heart
I am the stars that will shine for you when we're apart
And when we wake on the shores that bring the dawn of time
You know the light in your eyes, it will forever shine
Oh yeah, alright, shine on everyone
Shine on, shine on everyone
In this desert land
I know some rain must fall
See where we began
We've come so far
On this harbor shore
We hear the ocean call
In our minds at war
We have so far to go
Shine with all the untold
Hold the light given unto you
Find the love to unfold
In this broken world we choose
In unending storms
We search for space to breathe
How our hearts are worn
We've come so far
In this desert
How we blossom and we cease
Tell your story now
There is no reason to run anymore
No reason to hide away
Since He's come into my life
He's brought sunshine to my day
I will let my light shine, no more shadows
I will let my light shine, darkness run away
I will let my light shine for a bright tomorrow
I will let my light shine
No more casting shadows
No more living lies
Since He's come into my life
He's brought sunshine to my skies
I will let my light shine, no more shadows
I will let my light shine, darkness run away
I will let my light shine for a bright tomorrow
I will let my light shine
I will let my light shine, no more shadows
I will let my light shine, darkness run away
I will let my light shine for a bright tomorrow
Just a grain of sand on a thousand beaches
Just like dust in the wind
Try to understand why I go to pieces
Don't know where to begin
Got a smokin' hand, nobody knows plan
But I can feel it, it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything
I'm gonna have to get it out of my head
Got a screaming hand, shadows are all my friends
Cause they conceal me when I overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads
I still shine
Got a smokin' hand, no one can understand
But I can feel it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
Your hand has lifted me from death
You set my feet on solid ground
You put a song in my heart
And crown me with Your love
My Saviour and my God
You give me dignity and grace
Beauty for ashes, love for hate
You meet my every need
Your mercy fills my soul
Until I overflow
Help me to shine
Help me to shine like the stars above
Help to live like the One I love
Help me to shine, help me to shine
Now let share this love I’ve found
Many are those with broken hearts
Send me to bind up their wounds
And comfort those who grieve
Oh Jesus, set them free
Help me to shine
Help me to shine
Help me to shine like the stars above
Help me to love those who have no love
Help me to shine, help me to shine
Because freely I’ve received
And your love has captured me
You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by
Just to deceive you
By your time, by your time
You're getting old
And the longer you take
The slower your pain will grow
It will grow, it will grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them
You've got a brand new life
Do you find, you can't hide?
You can give your life
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine
Grow up and make the best of what you've got
Of what you've got,
Of what you've got
The days are going by and you're sittin' on your arse
And you're wondering why, why, why, yeah
You can give your life, or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine
You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, well by your time
Your getting old
And the longer you take the slower you'll pain will grow
It'll grow, it'll grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them
You've got a brand new life
You can give your life or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Well look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine
Shine, shine like a star
Dreams take me far, far away
You, the brightest of all
Show me the way I hear you call
So close to me, I feel it
You are present in this room today
No one else can see you
But you shine
All, all through my life
You’ll be my only guiding light
So show me the way
I’m weak and I feel I’ve gone astray
You are close to me, I feel it

But you shine

From the resistance I'm feeling the strain
Now the realization is that we are all born the same
(CHORUS)
I reach for the moon and I reach for the stars (ooh ooh ooh)
With the strength from within me yeah, the further and faster I run
Stretching my sinews to the bone (ooh)
Achieving all goals that I seek, I know I must do it alone (ooh ooh ooh)
(BRIDGE:)
When they said I'd never make it
I found strength from within (ooh)
'Cause it is there if you seek it
So you can get it if you really want so

Shining so bright (ah-ha) like the star that you are (ah-ha)

Hey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of goin' astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a crazy lost and found
We're all tryin' to find a place in this human race to shine
Everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it may seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you
Sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you
Hey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of goin' astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a great big lost and found
You're just tryin' to find a place in this human race to shine
Sebastian, everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself, mmm
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you
Sebastian, sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you
Little brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
And have I ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
And you shine like gold
And when you shine you shine like gold
Can you feel it Do you hear that sound
Thunder of the whole world crumbling down around you
Deep in skeptic faces think that you might drown
Gotten high on anxiety and now you want to come down
Someplace to hide someplace to go
Will you ever find it how will you ever know
Don’t want to give up hope but it’s getting hard to cope
Holding on by a threat to keep from hanging by a rope
It’s not like you’ve got time working on your side
Simple fact is that we are all eventually going to die
One day you’re feeling fine the next day you might lose your fucking mind
So while you’ve got the time, take a moment out of everyday to shine
Reality’s a blur you’re in a dismal state
And you’re pretty sure your brain is on the take
Your desires can’t be satiated even the simplest task seems compliated A thin line lies between camp beautiful and the circus freaks
How can it possibly be some slip so easy
From the ranks of the sane to the files of insanity
There will be those who will do what they can to smash your dreams
The miracles in your life are closer than they seem
Overcoming fears in life a clichéd but reoccurring theme
You’ve got to hold together at the seems
Searching for the answers forever it seems
You’ll find the answer it’s in your dreams
What can I do that's never been done
What can I sing that's never been sung
Who can I be that never has been before
What can I ask that's never been questioned
Where can I go to find out the rest and
What can I offer you, a Holy King
All I know is You say go so
I will follow you
I want to shine
Shine just like the sun
In this life
I'm digging deep to find out the answers
And looking forward to living forever
But while I'm here
I'll tell the truth of You
What good am I if I remain silent
How will they know if nobody shows them
It's time to stand and fight for what I believe
All I know is You say go so
I will follow You
Light your eyes so I can see through
All the dark that this life brings
When this world starts spinning backwards
Will you let me run to you?
The fear of the fall is so worthless after all
Now back on the ground…
Back on the ground…
After all I’ve seen
Cross the land and sea
You’re the only thing I found here
That shines through all the dark
Look for once I see
This world won’t mean a thing
But I grow old and I’ll find
Reasons why you seem to shine
If tomorrow brings a new storm,
For you I’ll fight while others run
Love, I wasn’t born to be brave
But now with you, I face any day
The fear of the fall is so worthless after all
Now back on the ground…
Back on the ground…
After all I’ve seen
Cross the land and see
You’re the only thing I found here
That shines through all the dark
Look for once I see
This world won’t mean a thing
But I grow old and I’ll find
Reasons why you seem to shine
Spend the life thinking I
Never find a way
Find a way back
I don’t care
It’s worthless now
As long as you’re alive
The fear of the fall is so Worthless after all
I’ve seen
Cross the land and sea
You’re the only thing I found here
That shines through all the dark
Look for once I see
This world won’t mean a thing
But I grow old and I’ll find
Reasons why you seem to shine
After all I’ve seen
Cross the land and sea
You’re the only thing I’ll found here
That shines through all the dark
Look for once I see
This world won’t mean a thing
But I grow old and I’ll find
The politicians have a tight hold.
They learned a trick from kings.
To let the people fight amongst themselves
to hide their negligence.
But something tells me that the end
is coming sooner than we all know.
I'd put a bet on it.
While the people fight amongst themselves
it's all coming back.
The government has got a tight hold.
A bunch of crooks and thieves.
They let the people steal amongst themselves
while they own everything.
In the end I know the people
all will bring this to a standstill.
I'd put a bet on it.
While the people steal amongst themselves
it's all coming back.
We the people were forced
to sign an execution of human rights.
Indoctrination is what was meant.
Infuse a class war to keep relations strained.
I wonder why
Need you to try
And on the way,
...reeling...
...feeling...
BURN!
I've seen your shine
It seems divine!
But by the way...
...you're clouded...
I'M CLOUDED?
AAAAAAAAA!
Don't tell me SHIT!
Don't you tell ME fucking SHIT!
BORING, YOU'RE BORING BORING YOU'RE
BORING, YOU'RE BORING, YOU'RE BORING,
YOU'RE BORING, YOU'RE BORING ME INTO MYSELF!
SHINE ON, SHINE ON, SHINE ON...
I wonder why
Need you to try
But by the way
YOU'RE CLOUDED...
[Verse:]
I know what I'm all about my body gon a change me,
I stand my ground and deal with negatived,
I got my mind made up,
I'm gonna do whatever makes me happy,
One step at a time, I choose my own destiny.
[Bridge:]
No Doubt, about,
My dreams are coming true,
Won't stop can't stop,
DO what I need to do,
[Chorus:]
I can stand upon my own,
No one can bring me down down,
I know I'm gonna shine shine,
I will hold my head up high,
I'm gonna make it through,
Because it's my time to shine shine, Shine shine.
Verse:
I don't let things get to me,
I want to live stress free,
No one, and nothing gonna get the best of me,
Believe in myself no matter how hard things may seem,
I'm clamming to the top,
My dreams will in reach, (Ohhh)
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I'll never lose sign of what I want in my life,
I'll stay true to myself,
No one can tell me, what the future holds,
I'll stay strong no matter,
I will survive, I'm gonna shine.
(c'mon, yeah, uh, Repeat)
[Chorus]

Fallen lies, between these eyes
I see your crown of dirt
So beautiful you are
So beautiful you are to me
Don`t try to be someone, you are not
And you will shine
Don`t try to free someone, who is lost
And you will shine for me
Even though it`s so hard
For me to bear this love
So magical you are
So magical you are to me
Don`t try to be someone, you are not
And you will shine
Don`t try to free someone, who is lost
And you will shine for me
Don`t try to be someone, you are not
And you will shine
Don`t try to be someone, you are not
And you will shine
Don`t try to free someone, who is lost
As I turn to walk away leaving everything I know
What I'd give to hear you say "Please, don't let me go"
For I can't live in this place it's as if my only home is gone.
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
Just let them shine.
I couldn't live for one more day
I couldn't stand to be alone
I'm fighting just to say it's you I'm letting go
As I try to find my way, as I walk this road alone.
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
Just let them shine.
I'm finding myself within you
The moments we shared can't take away
I'm buried in deep without you
We'll never be the same
I'm finding myself within you
The moments we shared can't take away
I'm buried in deep without you
We'll never be the same
Where will we fall to?
When will we see?
To look past the defeats, it's what's underneath
Cause there's a beauty in how you lie
With every sparkle that's in your eyes tonight
She walks into the room says what can I do for you today
Started out hard now its just a job gets easier everyday
When she was seventeen she had so many dreams
My how things change
Left her one night after inventing a fight
Another mouth on the way
What did you want...when you began
How do you think...you came to this end
Now you're aching, aching, say this pain is mine
Wanting, waiting...waiting to shine
Steps into the room everything goes black
That's all she said she knew
Every few months somebody gets rough really nothing new
She closes her eyes dreams of a time dreams a better way
Now she only wants a life for the one in her life gets her through the day
What did you want...when you began
How do you think...you came to this end
Now you're aching, aching, say this pain is mine
Wanting, waiting...waiting to shine
What do you see...becoming to clear
Close your eyes...it will all disappear
Now your aching, aching it's all in your mind
Wanting, waiting, waiting to shine
Know that your hoping hoping you'll find, only wanting you to shine
When she was seventeen she had such dreams
My how things change
Verse:
I know what i'm all about my body gon a change me,

REWIND
Oh babe
Little lady dying to find
The love that she can call her own
She can't be alone
And that's where she's calling my name, ooh yeah
See I know that she can love me deeply
If she could have the time
To get her look just right
And then maybe she could be mine
- Cause she's just tryin to shine
To find something to get out of life
When will she realize
That the answer is right they're in front of her eyes
She go crazy thinking 'bout things
She can't afford to have today, heh
She need to come on and love me for me
I've been known to make a way, oh, oh, oh, ooh wee
I know me and I can't love her like that
I can be different from another man
Cause she's so fine
And somehow or someway

(n.walusko)
When I saw you in a
Mirror humming like a
Jet plane coming overhead
A rooftop faraway at night
Coming coming coming bright
Like a swirly eye-shape on
A simulated wood-grain god
In a dazzling form of flames
Recurring dream where I saw you
And nothing happens but I do
See the sun
In your heart
Feel the shine
Above
And if she laughs with happy
Little bubble colors
Bursting silent like a star
Shut your eyes and some things change
Skeletons will rearrange
See the sun
In your heart
Feel the shine
Above
Turn away, turn away from the wall
Turn away, turn away from the wall
Face me now, face me now
Show me, show me all your tears
Your pain, your pain makes me burn
It's my shame
It's my shame we both hurt
We both hurt
I've got to strip this flesh from my bones
I've got to hammer this wall with my hands
With my hands
And I saw you
I saw you shine
I was holding you
I saw your face. I saw our face as you heard my words
My words
And you left me. you left me to hold yourself
And I've got to strip this flesh from my bones
I've got to hammer this wall with my hands
With my hands
The lights have all gone out
The lights have all gone out
But I saw you
I made some decisions
Detrimental to my life
Put my trust in some translucent people
Now I see through them just fine
I've come back to the real world
And put my bitterness behind
'Cause revenge is not as sweet as my freedom
And no one's taking mine
Promises broken with endless waiting
Been so many mountains I've had to climb
I got this feeling something is waiting
Destiny's changing I'm about to shine
Experience has taught me
What I need to take me far
See I can mingle with my enemies
'Cause now I know who they are
I'm stronger then I've ever been
Got to be to survive
There's a test around the
Corner trying to bring me down
But I'll never make the same mistake twice
Promises broken with endless waiting
Been so many mountains I've had to climb
I got this feeling something is waiting
Destiny's changing I'm about to shine
Oh shine, oh shine
Oh shine, oh shine
Promises broken with endless waiting
Been so many mountains I've had to climb
I got this feeling something is waiting
Destiny's changing I'm about to shine
In my heart and in my mind
I'm gon' win and you'll come
You tell me to wait, give me a sign
And I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
Look, man, do not get my block pissed, we'll blast your brain
Two hundred-thousand dollar whips and chains
Crooked cops, crips, crack, cocaine
Tupac, Chris, I'm still feelin' the pain
Seven year old girl shot and slain
What does it all mean, we're goin' insane?
In this struggle, stress, mayhem and panic
Where I'm from, we do not eat organic
Talk about it
You see my mama cannot afford Whole Foods
She break fast with a prayer, call it soul food
Where I come from, let it breath
Where I come from no one runs when funds run low in lump sums
We choose the dum-dum, dum bullets, dun dun
We livin' humdrum in the slums where scum conceal stun guns
The word's mum for fun, son
Conundrums ain't pretty
In this cesspool called New York Shitty
I call it that 'cause it smells like shit
Walk around hunched-back or you might get hit
I knew a nigger sold crack to his moms
The same mother fucker sold crack to his kids
Lookin' like 300 comin' back from his bid
Like, "Pharoahe, let's get this money for real"
In my heart and in my mind
I'm gon' win and you'll come
You tell me to wait, give me a sign
And I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
He said, "Pharoahe, let's get this money up, what the fuck?
What you need me to holler at Steve Rifkind?
Let him escape from New York like Snake Plissken?
I told you from the gate that you needed more marketing
And these major labels is not listenin'"
Stood in a B-boy stance, teeth glistenin'
From the gold in his mouth, summer breeze was whistling
I contemplated my retort, eyes fixed in
On a crucifix around his neck, I guess he was Christian
Just then the police siren, it pitched into the sound
Track to the hood so I spoke with conviction
Spoke as if I was 6'10", thick skin
Put a little bass in my voice like pitch bend
'Cause where I come from, where I come from
We all come from sky, moon, stars, the earth and sun
Multiple skin tones, the blood is one
The pen is the ammo to my automatic, I bring to fruition
What I write to get me out of the slums
And I'mma shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine like the sun, the world is mine
Each line is speech designed to transcend time
And reach the unborn and transform your mind
And I'mma shine, shine
In my heart and in my mind
I'm gon' win and you'll come
You tell me to wait, give me a sign
And I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
I'm gon' shine, I'm gon' shine
Now, New York, if you're in the house
If you're turnin' it out without a doubt
You know what I'm talkin' about
Just scream and shout and everybody say
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Now Detroit with the funky beats
Gettin' wild on the street, see the mark of the beast
Say fuck the police, what up, X?
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Chi-town, with the funky sound
Soul by the pound just get on down
What the fuck do you want? What the fuck do you want?
Say shine shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
West coast, side with the most
Holdin' your toast, brag and boast
What [Incomprehensible], what the hoe?
Everybody heard, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
Uh, uh, dirty, uh, uh, dirty
Uh, uh, dirty, uh, uh, dirty
Uh, uh, dirty, uh, uh, dirty
Yeah, even when I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
'Cause you got me
And when others try to turn me down
I'm gonna stand my ground
Like you told me
See I
I think that you were sent from heaven to protect me
That's why
I don't mind doing anything you ask me
I'll lay down my life for you
I am here, I am, this is what you did for me
I can shine, I can shine
I'll be here for you, you just stood back and you
Let me shine, let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
Must have done something right
To have you by my side
[Incomprehensible]
When everybody else held out
You held me down
Just like you said you would
Ain't nobody on the planet that can touch you
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody, no)
Oh, and you gotta know
From the bottom of my heart I'll always love you
I'll lay down my life for you
I am here, I am, this is what you did for me
I can shine, I can shine
I'll be here for you, you just stood back and you
Let me shine, let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You let me
(Shine)
For the world to see
(Shine)
Like the sun out bright
(Shine)
I can feel your light
Oh, you let me shine
Oh, you let me shine
Oh, you let me shine
Yeah, you
I am here, I am, this is what you did for me
I can shine, I can shine
I'll be here for you, you just stood back and you
Let me shine, let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
You, you let me, you let me shine
(Shine)
You let me shine
(Shine)
You let me shine
(Shine)

She says she's got it all planned out
She's got places to go
And I don't have a single doubt
She will find her way home
And she laughs
Like she's free
And it's like a thousand lights are one
She moves with her soul
Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
That's what I'm here for
Ooohh
I know that I can't trade with you
I was ten once before
But all the things that make you you
I would pay highly for
And she laughs
Like she's free
And it's like a thousand light are one
She moves with her soul
Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
That's what I'm here for
And I know you're here for a million reasons
Some still to come
In my heart you're here
To make sure that I have
One more girl to love
Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
