Shining Lyrics

[Hook]
I’m shinin' man, I got a lot of flavor
I got a lot of fans, I got a lot of haters
Don’t got a lot of time, don’t wanna be a player
‘Cause this game so cold and you know I’m shinin' man
I got a lot of flavor, I got a lot of fans
I got a lot of haters, don’t got a lot of time
Don’t wanna be a player ‘cause this game so cold

[Verse 1]
That local only crowd actin' like they know me now
I’ve already passed that stage, welcome to the bonus round
See, I’m just stackin' up them points for my high score
These rhyming dinosaurs ridin' round in eyesores
But I soar become what you hear
‘Cause you don’t even need ‘em out
Now watch me weed ‘em out
I got my garden sheers, I got my hands dirty
Yes, I’m the hardest here, break out the band for me
I’m 'bout to rock out like it’s ‘99
Labels wanna sign me, fine
Swag of Dre and Mighty Eye
Watch me redefine the grind
Simply went in search for the best production that I could find
Scribbled the sickest, most disgustin' lyrics I have designed
Teaching ‘em how to fear
Look around like now we here
Beat the beat like house of fear
Reach my peak like mountain ears
First your eyes, now your ears
Then your wallet, then your soul
Tellin' friends ain’t optional, new version of rock and roll
[Hook]
I’m shinin' man, I got a lot of flavor
I got a lot of fans, I got a lot of haters
Don’t got a lot of time, don’t wanna be a player
‘Cause this game so cold and you know I’m shinin' man
I got a lot of flavor, I got a lot of fans
I got a lot of haters, don’t got a lot of time
Don’t wanna be a player ‘cause this game so cold

[Verse 2]
Back when I was indie, I just wanted to be major
I bet when I am major, I will want to become bigger
Haters gonna treat me like the one that got away
I just want my microphone to be famous as Bono's shades
‘Cause when I get to rappin', I’m like Dr. Manhattan
I make a world outta dust kinda like an attic
I make something from nothin' but I’m still cumbersome
‘Cause in the perfect world, M.O.P would be number one
I let the drummer drum, I let the league play
I let the beat breathe, I’m feelin' me today
I let 9th talk
, bottom of the 9th walk
No fathers to my style, it came up off the sidewalk
Like I pop a wheelie, even your mama feel me
Dirty as Akinyele, livin' like Makaveli
Apparently I’m dead but nobody stopped to tell me

So I'mma keep on livin' it up ‘cause
[Hook]
I’m shinin' man, I got a lot of flavor
I got a lot of fans, I got a lot of haters
Don’t got a lot of time, don’t wanna be a player
‘Cause this game so cold and you know I’m shinin' man
I got a lot of flavor, I got a lot of fans
I got a lot of haters, don’t got a lot of time
Don’t wanna be a player ‘cause this game so cold

[Verse 3]
I’m shinin', I’m glistenin'
I’ve been droppin' jewels since metaphors was the in-thing
And even when it went out, I still pull my pen out
And hit the open mics till the club told me "get out!"
I was dues payin', now I’m Bobby Boucherin'
All these rappers fake here, they toupeein'
And we wonder why pause is the new sayin'
‘Cause these brothers funnier than two Wayans
I ain’t about jokes, I’m stone-faced
I’m doing 90 on a back street with no brakes
You eating up my time, I’m throwin' peace in your face
You a business man, be brief with your case
I’m five seconds from fame, a minute from legendary
An hour from makin' my life sweeter than Ben and Jerry’s
I’m ‘bout to live forever like the fame song
People used to say my name wrong, now
[Hook]
I’m shinin' man, I got a lot of flavor
I got a lot of fans, I got a lot of haters
Don’t got a lot of time, don’t wanna be a player
‘Cause this game so cold and you know I’m shinin' man
I got a lot of flavor, I got a lot of fans
I got a lot of haters, don’t got a lot of time
Don’t wanna be a player ‘cause this game so cold

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
