Shine

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 **** 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?
