How I Shine

(专辑： Son Of The South - 2017)

Yeah
I never had a clue, I never had a clue
Oh no

I never had a clue my life would end up like this
Just a dude out chasing dreams, hometown deep off in the stix
And they said, "It won't work, why you wasting so much time?"
I told 'em let the fog clear and I'ma show you how I shine, okay

Teachers, peers, friends, exes used to tell me I was lame
Now every time they on Facebook they gotta see my asshole's page
Making a name, doing my thing, repping the place where all of us stay
Now every time you hear Cheatham county, what you think of? It's probably my face
Yeah it's my face, yeah it's my songs, it's probably that billboard charts up on my wall
And they in my DM like, "Let's hit the mall", when they never backed me for nothing at all
And I ain't the guy that you could just call, my ego the same, my circle is small
I know who my team is, it ain't none of y'all, so rest in peace to the folks in this song

I never had a clue my life would end up like this
Just a dude out chasing dreams, hometown deep off in the stix
And they said, "It won't work, why you wasting so much time?"
I told 'em let the fog clear and I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I never had a clue my life would end up like this
Just a dude out chasing dreams, hometown deep off in the stix
And they said, "It won't work, why you wasting so much time?"
I told 'em let the fog clear and I'ma show you how I shine, okay

Honestly I gotta give it to my fans, they the ones who always keep me going forward
Since back when I was making videos in my two-tonne silly white Ford
Slipping transmission, no cash for gas, they seen the heart, they seen me start
They see me now and that's why the hell I'm right here on the mic rapping for 'em
I was going down the wrong road, no direction, no destination, nor a place to go
And I ain't gotta lie, no need for none of that bullshit sugar coat
Now I'm out here on the pavement giving back what all these folks come and gave to me
That's inspiration to go be something, I'd trade selling out for being me
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, done got it, music on iTunes and it's on and popping
Ain't no other country rappers round to tell me I stay eating y'all like IHOP in the morning
Saying bring the heat, but all I do is scorch it, 'less you're family or fans you're not important
I stay getting stoned on front and back porches, all I'm waiting for is Nashville's red carpet

I never had a clue my life would end up like this
Just a dude out chasing dreams, hometown deep off in the stix
And they said, "It won't work, why you wasting so much time?"
I told them let the fog clear and I'ma show you how I shine
I never had a clue my life would end up like this
Just a dude out chasing dreams, hometown deep off in the stix
And they said, "It won't work, why you wasting so much time?"
I told them let the fog clear and I'ma show you how I shine, okay

I'ma show you how I shine, okay, I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I'ma show you how I shine today, oh yeah, Church
