Shine On - Illa J

You need to open your eyes to see the realness

The divine reality that lives within us

Take responsibility I know you feel this

Don’t act a fool just do what’s right for you

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

Don’t act a food just do what’s right for you

I gotta do what’s right

Use the knowledge of my Tupacs

The lessons that they didn’t teach me in the school books

Be the example that there ain’t no rulebook

I gotta go hard and not give two fucks

About nobody elses

Really just need

The wifey and the kid are walking to the school bus

Yeah I gotta be a role model

I must show my kid what happens when I rush

And all the lessons I learned when I hush

Falling in love, the things that make me blush

Or the times I failed I was feeling like I sucked

When the pressure was high the bills like too much

When relationships end I gotta put the deuce up

When I put in the work and it’s finally time to move up

In the tough decisions I gotta do what’s right

You need to open your eyes to see the realness

The divine reality that lives within us

Take responsibility I know you feel this

Don’t act a fool just do what’s right for you

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

Don’t act a food just do what’s right for you

Illa what up though it’s Nitty

What’s going on bro, hope all is well

I don’t know where you at in the world

You and Cal out there moving

You know what it is boy

Watch out for them uh scantily clads

Cause it might end up bads

You know what it is

Remember what James said
