TJ Prodigy - Shine lyrics

Shout out to iinfynite Yeah It's Prodigy This is my life story But it's not written down, and it's not on paper It's expressed through my music So let's do this [Verse 1] Yo, turn the speakers up, this is something you wanna hear It's been troubling my heart every day, week, year, man Living in a town that's supposed to be home Where I sat in my tree fort, watching deer roam, yeah Me and papa built that, but that was yesterday And nothing been the same since he's gone away And I wish he coulda been here to see me on tour But I guess all the angels just wanted him more Even though he's past its like the days never did Same white house, same town, same kid Same yellow school bus, same red school Where you walk through the doors, and you see the golden rule In big black letters, hey it's a good thought But actions speak louder is what I've been taught And trust me when I say I heard the fists loud and clear So I think it's bout time for me to get outta here It's like you build these dreams just so they can tear you down Well I'm sick of being stepped on, pushed to the ground Told im never gonna make it, well you can watch and see As my rhymes and my message will change the industry Keep bringing me down, that won't get you any higher My dreams are a rocket, and I'm a frequent flyer Well I'm walking from the hate, and I'll walk to the moon So you can tell MJ, I'll be seeing him soon [Chorus] It's time, for me, to shine Let go, now take back what's mine I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine Shine shine shine shine So watch me shine [Verse 2] Thinking back now on those past days and nights Looking back at my family, I'd say we did alright Single mom and two kids tryna make it on their own If my dad ever saw me he'd say "look how much you've grown" Yeah dad I've grown, growin' up to be a man Thought I couldn't do without you but I learned that I can 'Cause what kinda man doesn't pick up the phone? Ask his son how he's been since he was six years old Every choice that you made, you've made it for yourself Never once put me first over anybody else But that's okay dad, 'cause I'm doing just fine While you wishin' you could turn back the hands of time Always doing what you wanted, but never with me I bet you didn't even know that my nickname was T Well maybe someday you'll pick up the phone But I'll be sending you to voicemail cause now, no one's home [Chorus] It's time, for me, to shine Let go, now take back what's mine I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine Shine shine shine shine So watch me shine [Verse 3] Ask me how I'm doing, man I'm doing just fine 'Cause I'm taking all these dreams and I'm gonna make 'em mine So, shout out to anyone who's ever had a dream Keep pushing through the fight no matter how hard it seems And to all the haters, always thought you were cool While you were picking on others and were always so cruel Excluded me and shoved me, made me feel small Well take a look now haters, I'm standing tall I'm living my dreams and there's nothing you can do You can never understand me 'till you walk in my shoes You don't know someone's story just because you know their name Their inside and outside may not be the same So, shout out to the man who never really was a dad I hope that you know you lost the best thing you had So watch me as I backflip, it's one of a kind 'Cause I'm turning my back and I'm leaving you behind yeah! [Chorus] It's time, for me, to shine Let go, now take back what's mine I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine Shine shine shine shine So watch me shine It's time, for me, to shine Let go,now take back what's mine I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine Shine shine shine shine So watch me shine It's time, for me, to shine Let go, now take back what's mine I'm moving on, and I'm, gonna shine Shine shine shine shine So watch me shine
