(Mic check 1,2) Yo, I gotta shine so these people know I'm here Steady ripping up the mic but I guess they def in the ears Keep it flowin from the heart and il never miss a beat No cardiac arrest, it's flowing smooth like a stream Critics bagging on my sh**, but they ain't close to my level They can't hold me back cuz my foot is always on the pedal This sh** is stressful, but I never lack the potential I always give it my all and my music is evidential Pick up the pencil and write what I feel On the road to success and I'm in control of the wheel Always hungry for a meal, go hard like steel Muthaf**a tell me how you feel, Im'a keep it real Born in 93', so that's how my raps be Inspired by the greats so my flow all cla**y Striving for perfection because I want it badly Not satisfied with being ranked as satisfactory I wanna shine like the street lights around midnight Or shine like the sun that provides the daylight Trying to stand out in the ma**ive crowd People try and hold me down but I keep my mind in the clouds Gotta keep it fly like an astronaut And my unit feeling stronger than a kilowatt Got a vision like king, to bring peace to the people Some people say I'm nothing and some people say I'm regal Battle the evil and reach for the light It shouldn't f**ing matter if I am black or white The game is saturated but it will never die Because hip hops got saviors damn right that's why Got it flowin in my blood, you can tell by the rhymes Cuttin records everyday, that's what I do with my time Working towards my dream and I'm just trying to shine I said I'm workin towards my dream and I'm just trying to shine
