I Shine - Fat Tony

When niggas ain’t got no leader, they go out and drink about a liter

Tryna deter all the feelings that we fear cause we here

Been around a long, long, long time

But got twisted by the dismissive folks that control what’s mine and yours

And his and hers, I think it’s really silly how they think we think all willy

nilly

When actually we know how to rise above catastrophes

And there’s been more than a few casualties

Some travesties that never had to be

But right now I’m in Caroline’s mouth

And I feel a little bitter when some people say nigga

But I feel a little better when I’m in Susan’s Jetta

Gettin head and I don’t mean lettuce, I knew the Lord would not forget us

And even though I have bad credit I still got leverage

Shut up, ho

Fuck yo ideology

If you don’t think all people should be equal you shouldn’t speak to be probably

Unless you properly wanna pay a nigga

I know some assholes that might hate a nigga

But in these times, sometimes, they gotta obey a nigga

We runnin shit, they had us on a ship

Fuck everything they did, that’s why we never quit

And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch

You had our body for a long time

Keep trying but you’ll never take my mind

Cause I shine, why whine?

Nigga, I shine

She pour the wine, close the blinds

Nigga, I shine

Since genesis we all done had our own nemesis

Tryna make our lives limited

Sometimes they hit us with a few little benefits

But fuck this, let’s go off on a pilgrimage

Just like the pilgrims did and get up out this bitch

Cause if you think you get thrown in the clink

And if you dare to speak, they probably poison your drink

Or they’ll probably blink, I swear it tickles me pink

How they can tell somebody who they can marry

I bet they wouldn’t yell that shit at Katy Perry

How they gon tell a woman when she can carry?

A baby that may be, frankly, making the lady weary

She ain’t ready, it’s scary

When they tell me not to smoke, I don’t trip or fall

I hit the weed and then proceed to say «fuck all of y’all»

Y’all thinkin small when you think you ball

The third world don’t revolve around anything y’all involved in

Since the begin we was meant to win

And with God’s blessing, we overcame oppression

He was testing, what a lesson

So now we runnin shit, they had us on a ship

Fuck everything they did, that’s why we never quit

And we up in this bitch, yeah we up in this bitch

You had our body for a long time

Keep trying but you’ll never take my mind

Cause I shine, why whine?

Nigga, I shine

She pour the wine, close the blinds

Nigga, I shine
