Lyrics I Shine - Fat Tony

I Shine

When niggas ain’t got no leader, they go out and drink about a liter
Tryna deter all the feelings that we fear cause we here
Been around a long, long, long time
But got twisted by the dismissive folks that control what’s mine and yours
And his and hers, I think it’s really silly how they think we think all willy
nilly
When actually we know how to rise above catastrophes
And there’s been more than a few casualties
Some travesties that never had to be
But right now I’m in Caroline’s mouth
And I feel a little bitter when some people say nigga
But I feel a little better when I’m in Susan’s Jetta
Gettin head and I don’t mean lettuce, I knew the Lord would not forget us
And even though I have bad credit I still got leverage
Shut up, ho
Fuck yo ideology
If you don’t think all people should be equal you shouldn’t speak to be probably
Unless you properly wanna pay a nigga
I know some assholes that might hate a nigga
But in these times, sometimes, they gotta obey a nigga
We runnin shit, they had us on a ship
Fuck everything they did, that’s why we never quit
And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch
You had our body for a long time
Keep trying but you’ll never take my mind
Cause I shine, why whine?
Nigga, I shine
She pour the wine, close the blinds
Nigga, I shine
Since genesis we all done had our own nemesis
Tryna make our lives limited
Sometimes they hit us with a few little benefits
But fuck this, let’s go off on a pilgrimage
Just like the pilgrims did and get up out this bitch
Cause if you think you get thrown in the clink
And if you dare to speak, they probably poison your drink
Or they’ll probably blink, I swear it tickles me pink
How they can tell somebody who they can marry
I bet they wouldn’t yell that shit at Katy Perry
How they gon tell a woman when she can carry?
A baby that may be, frankly, making the lady weary
She ain’t ready, it’s scary
When they tell me not to smoke, I don’t trip or fall
I hit the weed and then proceed to say «fuck all of y’all»
Y’all thinkin small when you think you ball
The third world don’t revolve around anything y’all involved in
Since the begin we was meant to win
And with God’s blessing, we overcame oppression
He was testing, what a lesson
So now we runnin shit, they had us on a ship
Fuck everything they did, that’s why we never quit
And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch
You had our body for a long time
Keep trying but you’ll never take my mind
Cause I shine, why whine?
Nigga, I shine
She pour the wine, close the blinds
Nigga, I shine
