Shine

[Verse 1]
Love…betta grab a seat
Take you on a journey a couple of years deep
I was just a little shorty, but I still rolled
With a rowdy lil' crew, up in Frisco
And we ain’t talking ‘bout no
Pretty little postcard
Dumping Swisher guts on the ave
Drinking 40s on the boulevard
Looking for someone to love me without condition
But how am I to know
If I never been a witness
To a love I could imitate, love that would liberate
34 years, now my parents finna separate…
A generation of children
Forever livin' in a fairy tale version of antiquated tradition
I was...highly suspicious to givе you the honest truth
And evеn if I found it, I wouldn't know what to do
Sweet love I could cherish, chapel & baby carriage
So I settled for forever and I left behind the marriage

[Chorus]
Yes, yes I am a mess
And it’s history repeating, I won't settle for less
It's a hard time tryna find someone to trust
I need someone to love, or all of the above
(Repeat)

[Verse 2]
Baby, do I agree
I could never find a lover as conceited as me
I guess I had to have a rapper
That was easy for me
And his name was Bambu
Like seriously?
But there was something bout
The way he was dropping me hints
That he wanted it all, I could be having his kids
And that was just the first date
But I told him, just wait
I was filming in New York, for the summer outta state
And if it all worked out
I mean, if I came back
We could talk about it later over Isley tracks
And go half on a baby, a label and a collab
With that fine brown brother rocking Pro-Brown raps
Native Gun, yeah I got one
Fuck a newbie or a groupie
Yo I pop, son
And throw some clothes on
Dignity, I got some
Easily impressed? not really
But I'm really feeling THAT one

[Chorus 2]
Yes, yes I'm feelin' blessed
That I got a good man
And I'll ride to the death
It's a journey and
I’m putting all my worries aside
And just enjoying the ride
I’m just enjoying the ride
(Repeat)
