Shine
[Verse 1]
Driving through the fog with my high beams, putting on my Visine
Let me tell you just what I seen
Angels falling from the sky
I just hope that they can take me
Back to where the pearly gates be
And I been counting down the days because I know we gotta die soon
That just means I get to fly soon
And I know I'm not the only one out here that's not afraid
Alright, alrighty, well I'm finally on my way
I know I can't fail if God testing my faith
And if I don't hurry, I might be too late
Even with all of this darkness in my grave

[Chorus]
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help but shine (Shining)
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
And we can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help it
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
I can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I still can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
And we can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I can't help it
[Verse 2]
Ever since I was a little baby this has been amazing
Thankful for the life you gave me
With every step and every breath know that I been living by you
Lord, just tell me, what should I do?
And I been counting down the days 'cause pretty soon this will be all gone
And your the one that I'ma call on
That's how I know I'll be free and won't be locked inside a cage
Alright, alrighty, now I'm finally on my way
I know I can't fail if God testing my faith
And if I don't hurry I might be too late
Even with all of this darkness in my grave

[Chorus]
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help but shine (Shining)
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
And we can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help it
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
I can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I still can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
And we can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I can't help it
[Verse 3]
Raised in the ghetto
I promised my family, told them that I'm 'bout to take it a whole 'nother level
These n***as that stay in my city be getting all cozy but I never settle
And I'm making my way to heaven while all of my homies been facing the Devil
And speak of the Devil
That n***a tryna get in my brain
So I roll my weed to ease my mind a bit, mind a bit
Sometimes I pace myself and take my time with it, time with it
Plus I be staying on track like a locomotive and I'm planning to make it
So it doesn't matter if you never notice a man in the making
And I close my eyes sometimes and dive in a pool of my dreams
And I been searching far and high and wide until I found my wings
You gotta be crazy if you say you fly as high as I do
As soon as I make it to the pearly gates I'm praying that they gon' open up

[Chorus]
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help but shine (Shining)
I still can't help but shine (Shining)
And we can't help but shine (Shining)
I can't help it
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
I can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I still can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy)
And we can't help but shine
(I'm shining, you see it, ayy, ayy)
I can't help it
