Shine

[Chorus]:In my heart, in my mind
I'm gon' win anytime
Tell me to wait, give me a sign
And I'm gon' *************ne
I'm gon' *************ne (9X)
Look man, do not get my block pissed, we'll blast your brain!
Two hundred-thousand dollar whips and chains
Crooked cops, crips, crack *************,
Tupac, Chris,
I'm still feeling the pain
Seven year-old girl shot and slain
What these all mean
We're goin' insane?
In this struggle, stress, mayhem and panic
Where I'm from we do not eat organic (talk about it)
See my mama cannot afford
Whole Foods
She break fast with a prayer, call it soul food
Where I come from
Let it breathe
Where I come from
No one runs when funds run low
In lump sums we choose the dum dum dum bullets, dun dun
We living humdrum in the slums
Where scum conceal stun guns
The word's mum for fun, son
Conundrums ain't pretty
In this cesspool called
New York *************tty
I call it that 'cause it smells like *************t
Walk around hunchback or you might get hit
I knew a nigger who sold crack to his moms
The same mother****** sold crack to his kids
Lookin' like 300 comin' back from his bid, like"Pharoahe, let's get this money for real"[Chorus]
He said "Pharoahe, let's get this money up!"
What the *************?
What you need me to holler at
Steve Rifkin?
Let him escape from
New York like
Snake Plissken?
I told you from the gate that you needed more marketing
And these major labels is not listening
Stood in a
B-boy stance, teeth glistening
From the gold in his mouth, the summer breeze was whistling
I contemplated my retort, eyes fixed in
On a crucifix around his neck
I guess he was
ChristianJust then the police siren it pitched into the sound
Track to the hood so
I spoke with conviction
Spoke as if
I was 6'10", thick skin,Put a little bass in my voice like pitch bend'Cause where I come fromWhere I come from, we all come fromSky, moon, stars, earth and a sunMultiple skin tones, the blood is oneThe pen is the ammo to my automaticI bring to fruition what I write to get me out of the slumsAnd I'ma *************ne, sh-sh-*************ne, *************ne, *************ne*************ne like the sun, the world is mineEach line is speech designed to transcend time and reachThe unborn and transform your mindAnd I'ma *************ne*************ne[Chorus]New York If you're in the houseIf you're turning it out without a doubtYou know what I'm talking aboutJust scream and shoutEverybody say (sh-sh-*************ne *************ne *************ne)Now Detroit with the funky beatsGettin' wild on the streetSee the mark of the beastSay f*** the police[What up, X?](Sh-sh-*************ne *************ne *************ne)Chi-town, with the funky soundSoul by the pound, just get on downWhat the ************* do you WOAH!Say (sh-sh-*************ne *************ne *************ne)West coast side with the mostHolding your toastBrag and boastEverybody say *************ne *************ne *************neDirty dirty (repeats)
