Questlove - Shine On lyrics

[Hook x4] We should shine a light on, a light on And the book I write on, write on, it was right on [Verse] They lost it I found it, we leave 'em astounded Asking me how you so fly, yet you still so grounded? I replied, I died inside, resurrected a beast Leave 'em deceased, music's in my genes like a crease Got it, capisce?, hungry as hell trying to eat now Success is the only thing that can complete us Grinding to free us, the beat knocking like a fetus Close your eyes, open up your ears so you can see this Now I've accepted I'm not from the hood Cause selling crack and busting gats don't make my raps good See this is me, L.O.G.I.C. repping MD to the fullest Push us to the limit but never pull us now I can't wait 'til I see my name in neon That fly sh** I be on flowing for eons Every day I take chances, Celine Dion Said every day I take chances, Celine Dion (let's get it) I'm a diamond in a rough, but I shine like discos Surrounded by greasy people like I doused them in Crisco I haven't shined yet, so tell me where does the rest go? Up a million percent until they finally hear this though Bumping up in they city like, Oh my God this go My business getting better every year like fiscal f** a pad and a pen, a mic my only utensil I'm original see but they trace like stencil I stain in the game, but you fade like pencil Biting off of my rhymes, that ain't even an insult Cause you couldn't produce, and in the end that sh**'s your fault It takes 3 millions years for a diamond to shine I did it in 21, see I'm ahead of my time Cause when I flow the crowd never roll cause I rock On the road to success, haters in my blind spot Cause I got no time to bullsh** [Hook]
