Paul Willis - Shine Lyrics

I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine

Shine bright like the early morning sun
Shine bright like the moon up in the night sky
Lord, I pray I make it through the day before it's done
Please put me in my place at the right time
Lord knows I'm a sinner
But I gotta put food up on the plate
And roof over my family heads
So they know that I can keep 'em safe
Now I'm up late,
Duckin, dodgin all these jakes
Pushin enough weight,
You think I'm all about my fitness
Deep inside the shadows
There will never be a witness
I look inside myself, and question will I ever finish
I can't do this forever, but I wanna be relentless
Am I sinning at the cost of really living
Will I end up in prison? it's a matter of time
But until then, I want my family to shine, shine

I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine

Somewhere underneath, there's a beauty walkin streets
Sleep walkin, streets talkin, beeps stoppin for a fee
Coppin feels for the cheap, but she hungry gotta eat
And his hunger makes him weak, so every night just repeats
Team no sleep, no sleep
No sleep, no sleep
Fast track, no advantages
Repetition only damages
The mind, yet she finds
It's lasts as long as she can manage it
Dreams of cameras
Now she camming on the internet
She said it's safer, when you get more into it
She missin the intimate, but her stomach still growlin
That's why she don't mind have sex with a coward
She a queen, but she don't recognize her own power
It was stripped away at 13, when she was deflowered
On the strip, every second that ticks feels like an hour
She strong, but these streets seek to devour

I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
I shine, you shine, shine
I shine, you shine
