Shine On

Floating on cloud 9 like Janelle Monae

Pretty as a picture sculpted by Manet

Womanly body built to make you moan, eh

My orientation is Poly Single about my freedom

Nobody can fuck wit thy Queendom

I got the loving you like to lean on

I’ve met the love of my life more times than once

In a past life, this life and the next

Our paths crossed with our lives on remix

Our love was the greatest story never told

Until I dropped a novel, TV pilot and movie about it

Stone cold with my promise with a talent so legit

Shine on like the brightest star in a clear sky

Shine on like a full moon on the darkest night

Shine on like the hottest sun in the universe, so fly

Shine on like an astronaut giddy about their first flight

I keep it golden cuz I was born this way

Claiming souls cuz I’m a predator stalking its prey

Love’s got me lifted as God grounds me, I pray

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on, keep on, keepin’ on my love

Shine on like my ancestors above

Wordsmith to my core, droppin’ bars like Donald Glover

A bestseller, I can write a book from cover to cover

Seduce you with words like your greatest lover

Design, publish, and take it to market like no other

A brand ambassador for the creative and more

My ideas don’t just float, they fly and soar

Execution is brilliant, from conception I roar

Self-taught, I’m a designer by trade

A poetic writer sharpening my blade

Life’s sweeter after giving birth to whatchu made

Slaying the game ever so sweetly, the softest suede

A style so vicious, I’m harder than the rarest jade

Shine on like gleaming silver, so bright

Shine on with a golden sunset on the horizon

Shine on like fiery sparklers, what a beautiful sight

Shine on at the break of day with the sun rising in

I keep it golden cuz I was born this way

Claiming souls like a predator stalking its prey

Love’s got me lifted as God grounds me, I pray

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on, keep on, keepin’ on my love

Shine on like my ancestors above

Penning like a villain, these tracks I’m killing

Song poems like my family’s patriarch

Prolific in my philosophy like Plutarch

Raging against the dying of the light

No one can squash the greatness of this might

I shine on into that deep dark night

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on
