[Lyric] Shine (Ben Kenobe)

[Intro: Ben Kenobe]
Get money, respect
G-give me your— Get money, respect
I-I don't need no love
Give me your— Love
Give me your— Get money, respect
G-get money, respect
Give me your— Get money, respect
I-I don't need no love
Give me your— Love
Give me your— Get money, respect
Let's go

[Verse 1: Ben Kenobe]
Views of a giant, looking down from the mothership
Bet all that I'm up against
All 'cause my colored skin
But this wind feel amazing
I let my sins fill my pages
Macauley Culkin, I Pagemaster, my brain scattered
You and I are not even from the same matter
Nah, see, God took his time with this
I was forged by an iron fist
I was born in the fire pit
So I'm as warm as a lion's kiss
And did the science, I'm a scientist
To live forever is my dying wish
I've been in tune since youngin came out the womb
Even as a baby boy, I walked hand-in-hand with the moon
That's what I thought, I used to swear the sky would follow me
Seen how bright I was, I thought the stars was trying to swallow me
Seen how nice I was, I think the devil tried to coddle me
Turn me to a Hell-spawn
Or put me on a jail yard
Or send me to a bail bond
Or have me in a box
On the dirt, where the shells are
Listen, I'm trying to tell y'all
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Kenobe]
The chosen one, my mama said I used to talk to ghosts
Life's a long road, it's small if you can walk the rope
You gotta learn to weather storms when they rock the boat
That's why I'm quick to grab a pen and pad and spark the smoke

[Chorus: DHF]
All this time I've sacrificed
Now it's paying off
Now we're taking off, yeah
As sure as the sun will rise
I'm bound to shine
I'm bound to shine

[Refrain: Ben Kenobe]
I'ma blast when I need to
Driving fast when I speed through
Blowing gas in the Jeep coupe
I'm feeling just like a don
I'm the last of this breed too
Blowing gas in the Jeep coupe
Driving fast when I speed through
To infinity and beyond

[Verse 2: Ben Kenobe]
Yeah, this was a drug, they'd take it in vein, much like the Lord's name
They need what I say, see, ain't nothing changed, I'm still the same
I still got the toughest bars, still the handsomest
Still the rings of Ra like it's Lazarus
Still a game abroad, I'm immaculate
All this here is God, ain't an accident
With the pack again, holding that Cal Ripken
So in any instance, it could get ugly like Robert Griffin
The Third, and that's word to my niggas out in the trenches
Who cheffed it up in the kitchen
While stretching a quarter chicken
And it's gone in three days like the son of God who had risen
That's forty-three-hundred minutes, Kenobe the mathematician
Slowly became that nigga
Views from the rooftop deck, I see the picture
It couldn't be any clearer
Hollywood should pay their respect, that ain't a threat
It's just funny when you know that you next, that ain't a flex
Plans of revolution, I'm trying to be on what MOVE did
More money, more guns, and leading the movement
Building a nation within a nation, that there my calling
Pokémon flow, every battle my shit evolving
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Kenobe]
The chosen one, my mama said I used to talk to ghosts
Life's a long road, it's small if you can walk the rope
You gotta learn to weather storms when they rock the boat
That's why I'm quick to grab a pen and pad and spark the smoke

[Chorus: DHF & Ben Kenobe]
All this time I've sacrificed
Now it's paying off
Now I'm taking off (Now I'm taking off)
As sure as the sun will rise
I'm bound to shine
(I'ma blast when I need to)
All this time I've sacrificed (Driving fast when I speed through)
Now it's paying off (Blowing gas in the Jeep coupe)
Now we're taking off (Now I'm taking off, I'm feeling just like a don)
As sure as the sun will rise (I'm the last of this breed too, blowing gas in the Jeep coupe)
I'm bound to shine (Driving fast when I speed through)
I'm bound to shine (To infinity and beyond)
