Shine

(album: ELEMENTS Vol. 1 - 2020)

Your soul has been calling out to me
Been singing your song
You've been on my mind all day, mind all day
Won't you pick up the phone?
Even through the hard times, hard times
You shining on
Yeah, it's been a long time, long time
Keep shining on

My bro just got a daughter, I remember weekends
We was talking 'bout our fathers
How we'd never be them
Shit, I forgave mine, he only human
And to be truthful, you know the fruit don't fall far
Business as usual
Itching to see results, I get it
These grapevines that make wine
Really just take time and effort
He said, "Life keep passing me by", I asked why
He naturally gifted, he don't actually try
Said, "What you know about having the drive
Then crashing the ride
'Cause your inner critic sitting on the passenger side?"
I was stunned, I ain't have a reply
But realised that everything you need you got it inside, yeah
Eye of the storm, yeah
You know we calm there
We not at all cut from the same cloth
You know it's all there
Covered in Kente and mom's prayers
And it's a Moncler
Check in the bag, you know it's all there
Pick up the phone there, yeah

Your soul has been calling out to me
Been singing your song
You've been on my mind all day, mind all day
Won't you pick up the phone? (Pick up the phone)
Even through the hard times, hard times
You shining on (Shining on)
Yeah, it's been a long time, long time
Keep shining on

Pardon my ways
Pardon me, pardon the part in my fade
Pardon the steez, I'm just dotting my I's
Crossing my T's, me as a teen
All I wanted was ice on my wrist
Then I got it with my heart on my sleeve
Zero degrees, yay, yay
Kill the hoopla
Where I'm from to survive you don't choose sides
Keep it neutral
Moms got two jobs, pops two lives
I done ran through the mud a few times in Nike boots
But thank God me and Jimmy the same shoe size
Gotta move wise
So you don't stutter when you talk
My brother's keeper for sure
If I'm your cane you'll be more than able to walk
Lit a ray in the dark
What's more motivating than seeing a homie make it?
They envy us but it's corrosive to they inner greatness
Seen what a lack of self-love does for health
She love a nigga more than he loved himself
She like, "Don't doubt yourself"
Put my pride aside, decide to ask for help
Now I'm on the road to get the title belt
All is well
And even though we roll on separate roads
And you feeling like you moving all alone know

Your soul has been calling out to me
Been singing your song
Yo've been on my mind all day, mind all day
Won't you pick up the phone?
Even through the hard times, hard times
You shining on
Yeah, it's been a long time, long time
Keep shining on

Won't you pick up the phone?
