:: Chorus ::
Shine, now is the time and the time is right now/ don't hesitate, gotta let it all out/ shine if ya got it, shine if ya got it/ if it's holding you back, leave it behind/ and shine!

:: Verse1 ::
All I need is a chance to get open/ and not be limited by environments controlling my emotional status/ using lyrical tactics/ I master tracks and fast forward past distractions/ interacting with the symphony/ dropping sagas and gems, problems conquered occur once again/ I got one life to live/ many mics to rock and on the rock I stand/ yo the burden is lite, the light shines/ i'm turning from the bad meaning bad way of living/ Braille giving eternal wisdom acquired from the king of this/ i'll take the ring for this and start swinging/ it ain't over when the opera chick stops singing/ we battle not, with flesh and blood/ I fear none through the rough times and trials try'an smother my dreams/ ay yo we waiting for the end but it's only begun/ in a city of chaos I keep my eyes on the son.

:: Verse2 ::
Troubles in the flesh cause drama/ city streets are filled with cheap thrills and bad karma/ mad illness, I guard my heart from infection/ draw close to God for protection which he offers to all of us/ forks in my road got me scratching my noggin/ walking down memory lane with many options/ victory is promised it's the concept that's hard to grasp/ we try to make it complex and miss the simple reality/ definition of freedom is easy to obtain/ are you willing to change? and not look back as your leaving Egypt/ we're all equip with unique gifts which/ the world would rather suffocate then uplift/ it's our competitive nature/ that has us hating each other, faking our true intent, friends become snakes/ the challenge is to repent and deal with it face to face/ demolish the lies, in your life causing hurt/ decide what's worth your time and what's wasting it/ cause life is what you make of it, make of it.

:: Verse3 ::
my sweaty palms, grab the microphone and sing songs/ ever gently with creative cadence created creatively/ never cater my steez or style to be the fans favorite mc/ I focus my train of thought, shine in dark tunnels/ discovering paths, spinning in circles and kissing the ground/ spitting rounds under water are you listening now?/ searching for sunken treasure and found rubies in your skeleton/ oxygen bubbles floating to the surface and I'm yelling/ at the top of my lungs, violently swinging sharp objects and prayers/ my offensive attack, towards those trying to offset/ my life long pursuit, bringing truth/ raising fruit in fatal conditions/ and watching it grow once exposed to the light/ that lives inside of us/ inside of us, lives in inside...shine!
