priceless - Lew Salem, Amon

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the rain and the snow, and the shade and the cold

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the lightning and the thunder, like a San Diego summer nigga

I’m gon' (i'm gon')

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I said I’m gon' (i'm gon)

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I ain’t come up from the basement

Started on the pavement, look at God with the placement

Shouts out to Amon, man we aimin' for amazin'

Hussle through the marathon, never break pacin': path of tha Great

I’m just tryna get my shine on

Tryna spit this hot fire like i’m Dylan

Tryna will this into existence so my son could be an Icon

Failure’s not an option, so the music what i keep my mind on

Green light, push the pedal through the motherfuckin' asphalt

I need space like a mothafuckin' blast off

Interstellar to the galaxy I came from

Full speed, all gas, no brake drum

Til the spokes crack;

flowin' til the pipe burst

I’ll be in the gym bendin' bars like it’s light work

Smoke tracks into plats and gold plaques

Live the life, makin' sure that I don’t die first

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the rain and the snow, and the shade and the cold

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the lightning and the thunder, like a San Diego summer nigga

I’m gon' (i'm gon')

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I said I’m gon' (i'm gon)

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Can’t lie, I had a hell of a year

Ain’t nobody would’ve blamed me if I shed all my tears

Only reason I didn’t, I made a promise long time ago:

In tides of happiness the only times that I would let ‘em flow

That said, I still felt the anguish

8 months, I was dealin' with the same shit

Talkin' with the

Man in the mirror but we ain’t speak the same language;

He kept bringin' up the villain that I thought I vanquished

I’m talkin' fear;

fear of introspection

Fear of rejection

Fear you’ll never end up likin' what you see in your reflection

Fear of deception, fear of defection

Fear that you’ll never know affection.

Fear of the

Unknown, the hardest one for us to cope with

All it needs is a small breach to sink the whole ship

I could’ve drowned with the boat, but instead I chose quick

Dove in, the emotional ocean.

Rode in the

Waves for days

Into, weeks, months, years, decades

Showed me the cards I was

Dealt in spades.

Revealed the diamonds

In my heart and set the stage

For me to rock these clubs like I’m Bamm Bamm, reduce ‘em to rubble

Pay me overtime, the least that they could do for my troubles

I dropped hella weight, shaved, I got used to the stubble

Stepped out and started floatin' once I moved out my bubble

Can’t pop this, confidence, tall like an obelisk

They can’t replace me, nigh impossible to copy this

You love to see it, that’ll prop you on the top of my list;

You hate to see it, then you square like a floppy disk

I’m almost off of this, my future been waitin' for me to

Turn up the pacin' and claim it.

It’ll only be a shame for

You if you ain’t there when I make it;

there’s only one spot

At the top, and my position is taken

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the rain and the snow, and the shade and the cold

Nigga I’m gon' shine

With the lightning and the thunder, like a San Diego summer nigga

I’m gon' (i'm gon')

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I said I’m gon' (i'm gon)

I’m gon' shine (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
