Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Are you ready?
It's your girl, Estelle
This album's for my people
Gonna be a struggle
But you know what? Fuck it
We're gonna have fun tonight
You feel me?
[Verse 2]
Oh, this is my song
I'm just like you, I gotta fight to stay strong
Just 'cause it clears, it don't mean that it's over
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 3]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 4]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 5]
When the lights go down, what you know about me?
What you know is what I choose to let you see
But I'm from London, call me the Big Ben
I grew up in west, specifically, West End
Now let me slow it down a little bit, so you can feel me
'Cause where I'm from, there wasn't shit to do
No, not really
Who'd have thought that it would happen?
This London chick start rapping
Now American boys are chatting
All about me with my wicked accent
And, yes, I stays on my grind
You go get yours, I'll get mine
Don't worry 'bout it, I'm fine
'Cause I'ma shine, say it
[Verse 6]
Oh, this is my song
I'm just like you, I gotta fight to stay strong
Just 'cause it clears, it don't mean that it's over
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 7]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 8]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 9]
You don't know I'm a '80s baby?
Nine kids in the yard, it was kind of crazy
Still, no kids thus far myself
I'm scared of the pain, I may not do well
As a mom, still, the work gets done
Yes, I worry 'bout bills, but a change gon' come
I wanna play rapper, rock the bells
But Mummy got a stack for them little Estelle's
You don't wanna know 'bout them days that go
I've got pain overload
You don't wanna know about the things I know
I just can't take no more
Most of the time, though, I gotta stay on
I gotta stay regal, gotta stay strong
You know I'm heavy 'cause I roll with germ
So I'm gonna be fresh when the lights come on, come on
[Verse 10]
Oh, this is my song
I'm just like you, I gotta fight to stay strong
Just 'cause it clears, it don't mean that it's over
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 11]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 12]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 13]
Everybody's watching tonight
It's my time, while the light's on
Everything I wanted is mine
I'ma shine
[Verse 14]
Oh, this is my song
I'm just like you, I gotta fight to stay strong
Just 'cause it clears, it don't mean that it's over
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 15]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 16]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
[Verse 17]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
[Verse 18]
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine
I'ma shine while my light's on
