Wale - The God Smile lyrics

I shine You shine We fall [Chorus] Girls kissin' me all out, Christian Dior'd out We gon' hold this city down 'til we see the whole city up (Go shine, go shine your light on me Go shine your light on me) A1 when I'm on site, my day ones never think twice Same one that get all the hate, through it all I illuminate away (Go shine, go shine your light on me Go and shine your light on me) Nah nig, nah nig Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah n***a Don't you doubt it if you was my n***a We ain't fall out so you still my n***a Don't always call you but you've been my n***a You're still the same, n***a, it's just the trust n***a when you work hard Used to get the outfit up off Curt Bone We done came a long way from the all day store And now spending 8 somethin' out Bergdoff Word up, pray to God that my self good Stand close to my rivals Like you got a job they would k** for It's all good cause the flow is to die for My God, n***a life like a dice roll And it's twice hard throwin' 'em with mics on I hit 'em with the rap, everybody slept Then I came back, k**in' everybody's nap like a hot comb At Saks 'bout to cop more And cop more if they got more And come back if they got more Middle finger to them folks, tell 'em GABOS Cause this game ain't based on sympathy Know that fame will steal your energy [Chorus] At 21, played running back 24 I had the city mad Slim Charles in the Y now You could say me and him brought the city back Used to hustle in hand-me-downs Now I'm whippin' the Camry 'round Hit licks in Baltimore Gettin' Hip-Hop chicken in like Kevin Liles Uptown, I learned a lot Suburbs taught me good The white girl destroyed the black neighborhood So white boys can run the world White cops is goin' to war I write thoughts and put 'em in songs And the devil around the corner It's all good cause the God is livin' in you Cops can look in the bag Tricky to man so can you read a mind And they used to go to madness, and I ain't really have it Somehow they let another Eddie advance Well I shine for the n***as that pa**ed So my n***as in the pen got me pushin' a pad Back in the crack era, daddy whippin' a cab But now I'm pushin' a camper doin' a similar route One time, [?] meets Jay Hov Marion Berry meetin' with Barry O This is Lil Wayne meets Wayne Perry This is bad brains from the go go I'm in tears so I'm thankful Cause I got haters and I got flow n***as can't tell me nothin', I got this sh** jumpin' From the white house to the black hole Don't let no lame tell you differently b**h I'm the savior of the DMV [Chorus]
