Lyrics Still Shining - Shane Kidd, Lucius

Still Shining

You back at it again with a pad and a pen
Gotcha mind on grind let the passion begin
You going for the gold with the actions to win
You wanna spit the truth and get the daps from your friends
But you’re overlooked it’s same repetition
Feels like you just did a vain exhibition
Wanna be dope better change definitions
If wanna please them and gain recognition
Sayin back down put on the back burner
You hear their words and you rebel like Nat Turner
Murdering the tracks you become a fast learner
Great art it’s the goal not be a cash earner
If it come that’s certainly fine
But your ambition’s to go and furnish the minds
Wanna be a light against the current you grind
Forget the naysayers you’re determine to shine
It’s your time to Shine
It’s your time to Fly
Stay on the grind don’t waste time
Or life will just pass you by
Do what you gotta do
What you get is all up to you
Go hard and lay it on the line
Cause it’s your time to shine
You hitting the books being a diligent student
Wanna be a teacher man, you’re willing and prudent
Growing young minds and revealing a movement
To see a better a path start building the blueprint
Thinking Dang, do the kids truly listen
Or Are they caught up in the media’s beauty tricking
The Rappers and the athletes control and rule they vision
But you hear the words from your man who be spitting
He Saying homie make them be potent with life
Ain’t gotta be athletes or holding a mic
Be an author or doctor go to new heights
Other ways to succeed start remolding their sight
Keep pushing be smart with your time
Enlighten the world avoid the darkness that blind
Do the impossible disregard the confines
Open up their eyes by sparking a shine
Yo it’s back to work, you gotta goal to accomplish
Keep your focus right can’t roll with no nonsense
You made it this far, so you know their astonished
Keep hope alive let it grow in your conscious
Remember, man don’t fold to peer pressure
Take up the challenge and face the fierce measure
Believe in what you do it’ll be a shear pleasure
Keep the end in mind and purse the clear treasure
Christ, so run you laps with persistence
Gotta love the journey lasting the distance
Talking to myself I gotta actively listen
Practice what you preach no passive existence
Gets tougher the higher you climb
Gotta trust God That’s the entire design
Water purifies let the fire refine
Reflecting the light as you aspire to shine
