I Shine

[Fat Tony] When niggas ain't got no leader, they go out and drink about a liter Tryna deter all the feelings that we fear cause we here Been around a long, long, long time But got twisted by the dismissive folks that control what's mine and yours And his and hers, I think it's really silly how they think we think all willy nilly When actually we know how to rise above catastrophes And there's been more than a few casualties Some travesties that never had to be But right now I'm in Caroline's mouth And I feel a little bitter when some people say nigga But I feel a little better when I'm in Susan's Jetta Gettin head and I don't mean lettuce, I knew the Lord would not forget us And even though I have bad credit I still got leverage Shut up, ho Fuck yo ideology If you don't think all people should be equal you shouldn't speak to be probably Unless you properly wanna pay a nigga I know some assholes that might hate a nigga But in these times, sometimes, they gotta obey a nigga We runnin shit, they had us on a ship Fuck everything they did, that's why we never quit And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch You had our body for a long time Keep trying but you'll never take my mind Cause I shine, why whine? Nigga, I shine She pour the wine, close the blinds Nigga, I shine Since genesis we all done had our own nemesis Tryna make our lives limited Sometimes they hit us with a few little benefits But fuck this, let's go off on a pilgrimage Just like the pilgrims did and get up out this bitch Cause if you think you get thrown in the clink And if you dare to speak, they probably poison your drink Or they'll probably blink, I swear it tickles me pink How they can tell somebody who they can marry I bet they wouldn't yell that shit at Katy Perry How they gon tell a woman when she can carry? A baby that may be, frankly, making the lady weary She ain't ready, it's scary When they tell me not to smoke, I don't trip or fall I hit the weed and then proceed to say "fuck all of y'all" Y'all thinkin small when you think you ball The third world don't revolve around anything y'all involved in Since the begin we was meant to win And with God's blessing, we overcame oppression He was testing, what a lesson So now we runnin shit, they had us on a ship Fuck everything they did, that's why we never quit And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch You had our body for a long time Keep trying but you'll never take my mind Cause I shine, why whine? Nigga, I shine She pour the wine, close the blinds Nigga, I shine
