Great Lyrics by HYLEM

2020

[Intro]
Co-Co-Comin' from the NextLane

[Hook]
I shine knowing none of them shine
Be mine, I want you to be mine
It's fine if you say you down to ride
East side, vibing on the east side
I'm jus' tryna be great, I'm tryna live for His name
I'm tryna follow His plan, I'm tryna do what He say
Not tryna do what you say, don't tell me how to behave
When you gon' drown in my wave

[Verse 1]
I'm just wantin' them to listen, I'm not asking to be silent
Tryna be a better Christian, I don't mess wit' all the violence
And they say that Christ is missin', how the heck He in my rhymin'?
Yeah, I swear this world is crazy, gotta trust His perfect timin'
Late nights, I been shinin', so bright, you would think I am a diamond
Pushed through the pain and nights that I was cryin'
I've been takin' my time and been writin'
Workin' so hard, I can't describe it
So much emotion, I play it for them and they like it
Hide it, guess how much emotions I've been hidin'
Goin' to a better person, in His perfect timin', yeah
God, I trust, His perfect timin', woah

[Hook]
I shine knowing none of them shine
Be mine, I want you to be mine
It's fine if you say you down to ride
East side, vibing on the east side
I'm jus' tryna be great, I'm tryna live for His name
I'm tryna follow His plan, I'm tryna do what He say
Not tryna do what you say, don't tell me how to behave
When you gon' drown in my wave

[Verse 2]
I've been tryna make a difference [?] from my experience
I learned from my mistakes, on the wave, bro, you hearin' this
The end of the tape, bro, you lovin'- no, you fearin' this
Yeah, I thought we made it, but we didn't, now it's clear again
Now I'm here again, I'm back on the mic to come spit a verse
Back on my grind, yeah, you hear it first
Gave my life [?], yeah, right here [?]
[?] Had to get myself back, yeah, it felt a little weird at first (Yeah)
But know I'm here to shine now, this is more than [?]
Gave my life to God, I might do a hundred times
Yeah, I heard a hundred lies, I done fell a milli' times
But through it all, God stayed there, by my side

[Hook]
I shine knowing none of them shine
Be mine, I want you to be mine
It's fine if you say you down to ride
East side, vibing on the east side
I'm jus' tryna be great, I'm tryna live for His name
I'm tryna follow His plan, I'm tryna do what He say
Not tryna do what you say, don't tell me how to behave
When you gon' drown in my wave
