[Intro]
Would you know it's me?
Would I know it's you?
Would you know it's me?
Would I know it's you?
[Verse 1]
Promise I've been tryna lead a better life
Tryna go out, hit these stages, shut down venues every night
So if you met me, you'd be proud
Cruisin' down the highway, I'm your stereo sound
You don't
Said you don't
Said you don't
Said you don't—and you won't—know it's me
Said you don't
Said you don't
Said you don't—and you won't—know it's me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you may never know who I am
But I know that there is a reason you weren't part of my plan
Home's a different constellation than the stars I fell from
If it's any consolation, like to be the brightest ones
[Chorus/Drop]
So you know (so you know)
So you know (so you know)
So you know (so you know)
So you know where I shine
Where I shine
Where I shine
So you know where I shine
Where I shine
Where I shine
So you know where I shine
[Verse 2]
Think you know my book?
Goddamn crook, think you know my look?
Think I don't look back
Wonder what got me to where I'm at
Why my heart stay strapped
Wide open up a second and the door snap back
'Cause you don't know this, way before my birth I'd been dismissed
To a game of chance
Hopin' that a family would take my ass
Yeah, take me home
Lucky that they love me and the shit I done
That's the people that raised me
The people that saved me
The family that walked me through life and are proud of the man that it made me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you may never know who I am
But I know that there is a reason you weren't part of my plan
Home's a different constellation than the stars I fell from
If it's any consolation, like to be the brightest ones
[Chorus/Drop]
So you know (so you know)
So you know (so you know)
So you know (so you know)
So you know where I shine
Where I shine
Where I shine
So you know where I shine
Where I shine
Where I shine
So you know where I shine

Abstract released Where I Shine on Mon Apr 28 2014.
One of the “poppiest” songs on the album, but I’ve always wanted to make a song touching on the fact that I was adopted at birth and how it affects my view on my music and my life. Enjoy!
