One Village Music Project - Shine lyrics
Open up to struggle and pain Ocean of sadness washes away in the rain Hear the native stories and appreciate the elements Spend the moment rhymin' because that is how I relish it Laugh till my face hurts it's an act of balancing World cup I play soccer with like 30 nationalities Leaps of faith I take like gibbons in canopies Ironic cuz the forest is part of my anatomy Part of a gang of farmers tree planters medicine people At this point if we don't have progression it's feeble, World peace, That's what we need And if we break barriers through dialogue than we succeed, Different languages beliefs higher hearts understand Or rather over stand, Cuz we are under sands Of time hourgla**es spiderwebs sink And transcend to another realm with ink But the magic is temporary seize it while you can It takes a while for all of it to recharge again Have deep visions of beautiful smiles and holding hands Will try to save some of that eternal happiness if I can Chorus (Ray): Shine your light For what is right Shining bright Into the darkest of night Gotta Find peace cuz life is never fair Look up at every crowd and you guys ain't there, 1 universe But this is the second I parallel it If there's no afterlife let this be my ancient relic And if I don't see you again keep my raps in a safe spot Proclaim hemp mary jane until the planets pain stop We need to learn to treat our women as queens Steada bombarding stereotypes prevent them from being seen And let's learn not to treat our men as less than, perfect So they don't have to puff out and pretend I forgive like Jesus, Love like athena Shine like Gang starr when I step in the arena If you send me your kindness I be sendin' it back Period, and that's how my emptiness cracks You may call this positive but I'm sick of the hatred Brothers and sisters round the world keep my heart beat in cadence, Why am I leavin' it burns but what makes it bearable,Is that it lit a spark I continue the parable Ray of hope in a world of darkness I make due, I love you, wow, thank you Chorus
