Shine Lyrics by Josiah Williams

The True Gold

2018

[Intro: Josiah Williams]
Heh, ladies and gentleman
My name is Josiah Williams, uh-huh
And I came to praise God
Yeah, yeah, and we gon' let it ride
Yeah, yeah, we gon' let it ride
We gon' let it ride, we gon' let it ride
[Verse 1: Josiah Williams]
Yeah, boy, I am barbershop fresh (So fresh)
I look good even when it ain't date night (Date night)
Spray a lil' something on the neck
When I walk in, you get a whiff of respect (Yeah)
I gotta give thanks to The Man (To the Man)
Who I praise, not the one that I work for (Yeah)
I'm praying for a seat at God's Table (God's Table)
And I'm praying that you're ready to reserve yours (Yeah)
I bet if I played this for my wifey
She'd say "boy, you're going to the top" (To the top)
Cause the song make you wanna close shop (Close shop)
And the song ain't a groove, it's bop (Yeah)
Lord, bless the sound of the words from my mouth
If I live with love, I don't want live without
If I do, I will take it back and rewind it
So Your soul inside me is all that is shining
[Chorus: Tasji Bachman]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
[Verse 2: Hyper Fenton]
I've been steady vibing with Josiah
Finding truth inside the writings of our God almighty
God's got perfect timing
Meanwhile, I'm still climbing
Outside of my bed
I can't get over His
Glory, shining bright
Like a diamond? No, Rihanna
Cause that's just like a rhinestone, Rihanna
In comparison to the Throne, Rihan—
I remember this day when I went and prayed
And laid all of my sins and repented, saying
I know that I'm a sinner and deserve to die
But I'm asking you to save me through the blood of Christ
[Chorus: Tasji Bachman]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine (This little light of mine)
I'm gonna let it shine (I'm gonna let it shine)
This little light of mine (Oh-oh)
I'm gonna let it shine (Gonna let it shine)
[Verse 3: Emmitt James]
Now this little light of mine
I'm gon' let it shine
Who am I to act like You ain't wise?
I'm still here, and I'm living life
I've gotta give it up, of course
'Cause when I sing it's like trumpets in my vocal chords
Sound the horns, it sounds like triumph
Granny said "Black is beautiful and vibrant"
And then she caught me smiling
Looking at her like "You sure ain't lying"
So even when the world don't buy it
He's alive, and He lives inside us
Why you think the kid be shining?
Why you think the kid be grinding?
Everything in due timing
I don't sweat the pressure, cause I know I'm a diamond
[Chorus: Tasji Bachman]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
[Trumpet Solo: David Alexander]
