[Intro: Edgar Allen Floe]
Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, yeah
All y'all kats out there, listening to this
Just know this man
I do what I do
Day in day out, trying to perfect what I do man
It's all real
For all my peoples, that recognize real
It's all lovely though, yeah
I ain't trying to rule all
But I'm definitely trying to shine
This is for all y'all cats out there, that's doing you
Let's go
[Verse 1]
Aiyo
Walk With E, you know the track
You know the stats
You know Floe can wake you up so you can face facts
Now everybody want to stay and shine
(In the game)
The same faces hog the playing time
(What a shame)
Time out, you fake funk let me find out
Third eye opened wide is how I get the rhyme out Yeah
Industry rule number; 81-60
Today's rap deal is now twice as risky
We all want to shine
Either broadcasted on some worldwide sh**
Or down on your block flaunting your new outfit
Whatever the scope, it still delivers hope
And quiets anyone that takes your life for a joke
When the garments are clean and mean
I feel like a king, back to my old self
Never left my throne, and casting out clones
To all my people with original style, welcome home
[Chorus]
To brothers holding up first over second
Just shine
To brothers knowing fear's the worst protection
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
To sisters holding the keys to success
Just shine
To sisters knowing to lead with every step
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
[Verse 2]
Check me out yo, I stay fly
While you're in shock and awe down by the wayside
And all I do is keep stress at a minimum
Assembling words and beats together
Help generate adrenaline
Because stress is real sh**
One less problem for a brother to deal with
(That's real)
You know it gets crazy, when the world turns shady
Cats want to hold you back, whatever the day be
Pull all tricks out, got to keep it moving though
Weather my shine is high noon, or a soothing glow
You're gonna feel me regardless
Better find another target
Somebody cold, heartless, frail
Some lightweight trying to tip the scale
Before the light rose, he already fell
It's a brand new point of view
And now the line's drawn
f** what you heard, I'm ready to get my shine on
[Chorus: Edgar Allen Floe]
To brothers holding up first over second
Just shine
To brothers knowing fear's the worst protection
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
To sisters holding the keys to success
Just shine
To sisters knowing to lead with every step
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
To brothers holding up first over second
Just shine
To brothers knowing fear's the worst protection
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
To sisters holding the keys to success
Just shine
To sisters knowing to lead with every step
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
Just shine, just shine, just shine, just shine
