desmond michael - shine (awakening) lyrics
(intro:)
i have to ask you something. you’ve worked through so much, but you never seem happy. like you’re looking for something else, something not here on earth. what are you looking for?
(hook:)
letter to you
baby come through
hoping that you
can show a brother what it do
letter to you
baby come through
hoping that you
can show me how to shine
how to shine
(verse:)
oh my dear eternity
so naturally and so lovely
we were birthed from royalty
so where is my crown
d+mn america
causing mass hysteria
take my rights i’m daring ya
sh+ts about to go down (down)
am i a rapping ass n+gga
or a singing ass n+gga
sh+t don’t think i’ll ever know
but one thing i know for certain
before my life closes the curtain
b+tch i gotta glow
(hook:)
letter to you
baby come through
hoping that you
can show a brother what it do
letter to you
baby come through
hoping that you
can show me how to shine
shine
can you show me how to shine
(interlude:)
what are you looking for? wake up… wake up!
(verse:)
ok these n+ggas really thought i would never rap again
after “love, euphoria” they said “des done turned in his pen”
please don’t act like i’m not him, don’t even try to pretend
cause i’m back to teach you n+ggas, back to the lesson at hand
a few hundred years ago engaged in enslavement
emanc+p+tion proclamation claims that all our ways are changing
but in 2023 i still see my people hangin
got my eyes wide open cause i can’t take it
anymore, i’m kicking down the door, now prepare for a war
the cops keep k!lling my brothers like trynna get a high score
look sorry for the rant but i just needed to vent
this country needs to pay for single every body it spent
i’m bout to shine, bout to shine, bout to shine
what does that mean you may ask, well baby this the shine
surviving hatred and intense negative energy
witness the story of my awakening, ya feel me
(hook:)
letter to you (yeah)
baby come through (come through)
hoping that you
can show a brother what it do (show me what it do)
letter to you (from me to you)
baby come through
hoping that you
can show me how to shine (im bout to shine, bout to shine, bout to shine now) (im bout to shine, bout to shine, bout to shine now)
can you show me how to shine (im bout to shine, bout to shine, bout to shine now)
(im bout to shine, bout to shine, bout to shine now)
