[Verse 1]
We in the land of milk and honey
But ain't nothing sweet, these demons hungry
They go bananas for the money
But not me, I'm no circus monkey
[Pre-Chorus]
It's crazy, it's crazy
No Shaitan can drown us, we wavy
Too smooth to be fooled by Fugazies
I guess that's all a part of what made me
[Chorus]
Shine
Shine
Shine on all of them
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them
Climb
Climb
'Cause you were born to win
Don't let them make you colorblind
And not adore your skin
[Verse]
See I've seen so many come and go
It's hard to get change when you're broke
My only goal while on the globe
Is not to let my soul corrode
[Pre-Chorus]
The world can be toxic (Toxic)
Especially when you're skin look like chocolate (Chocolate)
Be careful, all branches ain't olive (Olive)
And look towards the sun for your solace, and
[Chorus]
Shine (Yeah)
Shine (Oh)
Shine on all of them
(My umi said to shine) My umi said to shine your light
(So shine on all of them) So shine on all of them
(You gotta) Climb (Climb)
Climb (Climb)
You were born to win
(So don't let them make you colorblind) Don't let them make you colorblind
And not adore your skin
You gotta shine (Shine)
Shine (Shine)
Shine on all of them (Shine on all of them)
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them (Oh)
Climb (Climb)
Climb (Climb)
'Cause you were born to win (You were born to win)
Don't let them make you colorblind (Hey)
And not adore your skin
[Interlude]
Light the fire
In my soul
Burn the flame
And make me whole
See y'all don't know
Where I've been
I'm gonna let it shine, shine, shine from the deepest parts within
So let it shine
Let it shine, shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Please shine
Please let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Chaz, help me sing it
[Chorus]
Shine (Yo)
Shine
Shine on all of them (Woo!)
My umi said to shine your light (Yah)
So shine on all of them
Shine (Woo!)
Shine
Shine on all of them
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them (Vanessa, will you help me sing, yeah?)
Shine

Shine on all of them, oh
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them
Climb
Ooh, climb (Woo!)
You were born to win, yeah
And don't let them make you colorblind
And not adore your skin ([?], won't you say it?)
Shine

My umi said, woah

Stay right there, everybody say

Shine, shine, one last time, oh
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
