Thomas Gilyard – The Shining lyrics

(Feat. Tasha Powell)

The tramp is here!
Ladies and gentleman the champion of the world has arrived
Black Bill Gates!
Yeah! What's up?

I'm a man like these guys, put on my pants like these guys
And it's likely I recite some shit right out the... Mind
I get down, and in a couple months from now I might be saying
So run into them labels, cut the check like Nike town
But I'm good either way, at least that's what the people say
Got French women begging me to hit it on some sequel play
Let it be known, it's been a long time coming
Sweat it, we're on
I set myself on fire my nigga, now let me burn!
Anything I desired, I earned, oh you gonna learn!
When I put this shit in writing I'm inviting you to fight it
I told it it's whatever, I love it as long as they like it
I've never been a clown, now that's what I'm smoking on
And I represent whoever coming from a broken home it's real life
I had a dream of selling us all, without selling us all
Woke up and did it, now watch me get it back in seven...

Chorus:
The timing is right for you to step into the lightning
You'll make it to the top, just keep on climbing
Uncertain until you find a silver lightning
All you gotta do is keep on shining

... In the mood, scared to go out the tomb
I was left after the whole planet has been consumed
Your subject mattered, don't matter, you better...
Before I get at you, I put that on men I look
Look, don't think I'm no better,
I got folks who're on the same shit
Can't no translator help you comprehend my language
Why I say it slow? So you just can understand it
Talking to a... In the face I think they're brain dead
You're fucking with a straight shooter, I see straight through ya
I got... What make you think I can click just as quick as you...
Feeling like my back is up against the wall
Life is full of blessings, I'm just trying not to piss them off
Be careful who you're hanging around
Get rid of that day... You only... You're down
Pedal to the metal, competition try your best to keep up
Remind me of a vacuum cleaner, all they do is eat dust

Chorus:
The timing is right for you to step into the lightning
You'll make it to the top, just keep on climbing
Uncertain until you find a silver lightning
All you gotta do is keep on shining
