When I Shine |
You’re not dealin with the typical |
I’m Queen Order in the physical |
Original worshippin a little real sense to the art symbol |
Keepin you in traditional lacin the listener |
with principles like it’s medicinal in addition to numeral recordables that be sellin me to the pentacle |
of being lucid, so I never come elusive |
Truths I get loose with that amuse it then use it to captivate the youth through my creative juices |
Daily come students on my school of thought not ever truant |
So enter into language and the oral I speak fluent |
Be. |
when I shine |
I see my influence still shinin |
Heads out there babblin |
Life is a gamble and you’ve gotta hustle |
My methods various ways to cut you |
when exercisin my vocal muscle |
Give back to my people through song cause I love to Not just an actor? |
capitalizin upon the struggles |
of stringin along the troublesome |
Overstate my purpose as bein one who comes to provide a little hope |
for them play my position, to the fullest on intuition |
Drop a jewel or two but tricks are for whoever wanna listen cause |
I can’t distort vision of those completely blind |
so I keep that in mind, when I shine, knahmsayin? |
Teach those who wanna be taught |
Craft fluid within the beats y’all |
Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve. |
I see my influence still shinin |
Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve. |
No doubt |
Presentin dark sounds, cause we in some cruicial time now |
And I’m tryin to leave a mark before they place me in the ground |
Holdin it down, much deeper now than before |
Mature, rhetoric to even out the score |
Detour, what was once considered hardcore |
to counteract the efforts of these pseudo-thugs and whores |
Armageddeon’s a brain war, and I command more |
Willin to have my frame torn for what I stand for |
For, at least for my belief the substance intertwine |
Exert from my bloodline, to shine, one more time |
At least for my belief the substance intertwine |
Exert from my bloodline, to shine |
Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve. |
I see my influence still shinin |
No doubt |
