Shine

(album: Sonshine - 2018)

Hey son, this is Dad calling. And I just wanted to leave a word to say shine. Tell 'em all of the problems, every aspect that you may be having. Just shine. Just shine son, that's what I want you to do. Just shine.

Na na, na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na

Ain't gon' tell no lie, yeah, I been through the fire
But I'm still gon' shine, yeah, 'cause I got the light, yeah
Ain't no way to stop the wave, the Devil is a liar
Ain't no pain that I can't take, when the sun is shining

And it's all right, a'ight, a'ight
And it's all right, a'ight, a'ight
And it's all right
This little light of mine, yeah
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
And it's all right

Yeah
I don't know what you was expecting but you listening to a miracle
I know it's kind of a confusing reflection
I don't look like what I been through
I thank God for the mercy on me
I pray to God 'cause this work is lonely
For every time I was chasing the check
I pray to God "Keep working on me", uh
Praying hands, then an umbrella, then a one-hundred, then a church emoji
Man, I'm thanking God for raining blessings down on the real doing his work
It's only one life that we got so we gotta live it like this is not only for existing
Time's a commodity, come out of the illusion that you got time for chilling
I ain't have a choice so I took a chance
I ain't have a voice so I took the stance
I can keep it real or I can keep it moving
You can't keep me still so I'ma keep improving
'Cause everybody with a dream don't chase it
Everybody with some talent don't make it
Everybody got time, don't waste it
The wave is celebrating God's graces

Ain't gon' tell no lie, yeah, I been through the fire
But I'm still gon' shine, yeah, 'cause I got the light, yeah
Ain't no way to stop the wave, the Devil is a liar
Ain't no pain that I can't take, when the sun is shining

And it's all right, a'ight, a'ight
And it's all right, a'ight, a'ight
And it's all right
This little light of mine, yeah
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
And it's all right
