Fat Tony - I Shine Lyrics
[Fat Tony]When niggas ain't got no leader, they go out and drink about a literTryna deter all the feelings that we fear cause we hereBeen around a long, long, long timeBut got twisted by the dismissive folks that control what's mine and yoursAnd his and hers, I think it's really silly how they think we think all willy nillyWhen actually we know how to rise above catastrophesAnd there's been more than a few casualties,Some travesties that never had to beBut right now I'm in Caroline's mouthAnd I feel a little bitter when some people say niggaBut I feel a little better when I'm in Susan's JettaGettin head and I don't mean lettuce, I knew the Lord would not forget usAnd even though I have bad credit I still got leverageShut up, ho***** yo ideologyIf you don't think all people should be equal you shouldn't speak to be probablyUnless you properly wanna pay a niggaI know some *****s that might hate a niggaBut in these times, sometimes, they gotta obey a niggaWe runnin shit, they had us on a ship***** everything they did, that's why we never quitAnd we up in this *****, yeah we up in this *****You had our body for a long timeKeep trying but you'll never take my mindCause I shine, why whine?Nigga, I shineShe pour the wine, close the blindsNigga, I shineSince genesis we all done had our own nemesisTryna make our lives limitedSometimes they hit us with a few little benefitsBut ***** this, let's go off on a pilgrimageJust like the pilgrims did and get up out this *****Cause if you think you get thrown in the clinkAnd if you dare to speak, they probably poison your drinkOr they'll probably blink, I swear it tickles me pinkHow they can tell somebody who they can marryI bet they wouldn't yell that shit at Katy PerryHow they gon tell a woman when she can carry?A baby that may be, frankly, making the lady wearyShe ain't ready, it's scaryWhen they tell me not to smoke, I don't trip or fallI hit the weed and then proceed to say "***** all of y'all"Y'all thinkin small when you think you ballThe third world don't revolve around anything y'all involved inSince the begin we was meant to winAnd with God's blessing, we overcame oppressionHe was testing, what a lessonSo now we runnin shit, they had us on a ship***** everything they did, that's why we never quitAnd we up in this *****, yeah we up in this *****You had our body for a long timeKeep trying but you'll never take my mindCause I shine, why whine?Nigga, I shineShe pour the wine, close the blindsNigga, I shine
