Aloe Blacc
Shine Your Light
[Sample]
There's no yesterday...there's no tomorrow...there's just right now...

[Bridge]
This little light of mine
This little light of mine
This little light of mine
Let it
Shine, this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

[Verse 1]
Shine a light on the school of the Americas
Trading [?] international barriers
Shine a light under the president's skirt, snake
The Bush, expose the dirty work, who chose this
Dirty jerk, was it the NSA, the
CFR, I don't even know why we at war, to
Rebuild the Holy Lands, or to build up the
Wealth and pocket books of these controlling mans
Little [?] of Office come up out the closets
The cabinets are filled up with roaches and rats, shine your
Light on that, get the flamethrower gassed up
But if the price of fuel [?] chew your last buck
You can thank the bureaucrats for that shit, looking for the
Smoking gun but all the documents have been redacted
Shine a light on the freedom of information, we ain't
Never gonna see the true history of this nation, as
Long as people staying distracted we asking
For it, 'til we get up and start blasting for it whether
It's firearms or we using our words as bombs and
Knowledge as weapons, we refuse to be kept in the
Darkness, the politicians is heartless
Incorporations gonna pay them off regardless
But everybody gotta play a part in this fight
It's time for you to shine your little light
[Chorus]
Let your
Light shine, yeah
Tellin' you to let your
Light shine, woah
You never know what you
Might find, yeah
And you can't win if you
Fight blind so let your
Light shine the same way I do mine

[Bridge]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, let it
Shine, this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, let it
Shine, this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, let it
Shine, this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

[Verse 2]
Shine a light on how the federals send in the
Goons to cut out the moon on John Lennon
And they did the same thing to Luther King, 'cause
A dream don't fly very high if it loose it's
Wings, push up your lighter for them D.C. fires and
Flings that burn watts of neighborhoods gettin' shot up
By dirty cops that spark beef, kicking dust
So high to justify their presence in the street
Shine a light on the grass roots but now that the
Banks don't have loot it's all a crap shoot
Shine a light on the Kremlin and how they had
Dude on the screen all green like a gremlin
Terrorism come in so many styles now
Sophisticated agencies don't even have to hide out
It's to the point that I write raps in code so the
Fact that I know what's happenin' ain't exposed
Except to those who share my same frame of mind
And agree with me on where the light needs to be shined
The whole system needs a redesign and the old power
Holders all need to resign, shine your
Light
[Chorus]
Yeah
Tellin' you to let your
Light shine, woah
You never know what you
Might find, yeah
And you can't win if you
Fight blind so let your
Light shine (same way I do
Mine
Same way I do
Mine
Same way I do
Mine
Same way I do
Mine)
