Shine

I didn’t ask for this I was given a gift, then mastered it The pain came with it, at times I feel like a masochist Help is hazardous That’s the reason I never ask for it Cause when I asked for it They just simply gave me their ass to kiss Though I’m pass the shit You should know I’m far from a pacifist If you ask for it You should know, I’ll be quick to pass a fist Not on no savage shit But about my respect I’m adament The flow, that’s that water boy No Adam Sandler shit Tried to box him in, but they can’t contain him with walls Similar to Weapon X, but no adamantium claws Whole team could’ve won, they just had to give him the ball And I’m used to falling’ out, I’m just mad that it’s wit’ my dawg And, as I add to my catalog I think about the journey and people that tagged along Bout how I got it right, after times that I had it wrong Now I’m working twice as hard, people think he got him a clone I just wanna get rich, retire, sit in my rocking’ chair They just want the credit for being the one that got us here Huh, It’s a funny thing isn’t it Niggaz rather be the star than to see their team winnin’ (Talking) The sky’s the limit The vibe I feel it The ride is endless I the picture, the vision inside my mind is vivid I tried to split it Was even telling my guys, lets get it But nah, I get it Some niggaz switched and the vibe is different They shining too, but they’d rather mine Cause my shine is different I’d be a lie, if I said it never divided niggaz I defied the critics And told em’ to never mind the gimmicks Must you be reminded when rhyming, That all of mine authentic They call him gifted, For keeping up what he calls tradition Let you see it all, Whether it be a flaw or blemish See his thoughts is Different And you could learn if you thought to listen Trying to bring that realness back, I see it’s often missing But, that’s my journey, If you ain’t wit it it’s fine If you ain’t tryin’ to work Then I’ll let you sit and recline The doubts I once had I left all that shit behind Now this little light of mine, I’m finna let it shine
