[Chorus]:In my heart, in my mind
I'm gon' win anytime
Tell me to wait, give me a sign
And I'm gon' ****in shine
I'm gon' ****in shine (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 bitches
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 shitty
I call it that 'cause it smells like bullshit
Walk around hunchback or you might get hit
I knew a nigger who sold crack to his moms
The same mother****er 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 from Where I come from, we all come from Sky, moon, stars, earth and a sun Multiple skin tones, the blood is one The pen is the ammo to my automatic I bring to fruition what I write to get me out of the slums And I'ma ****in shine, sh-sh-****in shine, ****in shine, ****in shine ****in shine like the sun, the world is mine Each line is speech designed to transcend time and reach The unborn and transform your mind And I'ma ****in shine ****in shine
