We Gon’ Shine Lyrics by Ajani Nanabuluku

The Self-Love Tape

2017

[Intro]
Yeah, this one goes out to all the Earns and Vans of the world
All the Lawrences and Issas of this world
All the class of 2016s of this world
Every class before and after
For anybody struggling on they time to shine
[Verse 1]
This one is for all my duns that find it hard enough to look at the sun
Cause the times that we living in making it easily to swallow sorrows in rum
We trying to find us a better way
They say my generation be scatter-brained
And distracted but actually society we live in hella strange
22 going on 40 today
How much you gotta pay 42K
The way the education system fucking us feel like that nigga from B2k
Still have those dreams living in limousines with the coat fur
Only to wake up in a room feeling sick cause it smelling like sulfur
Lately I been feeling low
Wondering why I suppose
To coming to grips with dealing with shit that I might end up dying alone
But if I die alone at least I wanna learn to love myself
Cause wallowing all in my self-pity ain't good for your health
So I gotta learn it fast
Get the monkey off the back
And I love you mom and dad
But I just cannot fuck with the grad
But I’m gonna find a way
To make it so that y'all see better days
So maybe when we in the future living like it’s nothing y'all can see the vision I had
[Chorus]
Cause we gon' shine in minute
We gon' shine in a minute (3x)
Damn right I meant it
And they gon' try to diminish
But we gon' shine in a minute (2x)
[Maia]
And when you at your lowest low just look up at the sky
A shining star you know you are and child you shine so bright
[Verse 2]
This one for my patna back in the A with the fam
Had they own dreams but nobody really gave a damn
So they take it out on him
I wonder if they was ever proud of him
For going getting a degree cause it really seems that don’t mean a thang to them
All he wants is just a little support (But they ain't giving none)
Verbal abuse like every other day (Like that shit really fun)
And it got me feeling bad
Killing me to see my nigga going through that
Looking like he was better off never trying to begin with man this whole shit wack
They’d be glad if he
Just stayed stagnant
Cause who give a fuck bout the arts?
Everybody treat it like its a joke
Until they playing trap shit out of they car
Until they watching they favorite tv show
Until they seeing they favorite movie part
But when it coming to a kid with a dream and a dollar it just don’t make cents any more
This one for all of my niggas living with they family and they be stressing acting like you can't dream
And telling you that you can’t be
Anything that you wanna be in the world
This is for my fellow boys and girls
Inside, outside binaries
Kinda scary
Trump era
Fuck the terror cause
[Chorus]
We gon' shine in minute
We gon' shine in a minute (3x)
Damn right I meant it
And they gon' try to diminish
On Landry's pops spirit
We gon' shine in a minute
[Maia]
And when you at your lowest low just look up at the sky
A shining star you know you are and child you shine so bright
And whenever you feeling scared just know that you can fly
Just keep on rising to the top and you'll see paradise
