Still Shining

How I make right to the top but I'm still grinding

Uh, aye

They looked me dead in my eyes I know they was lying

Left me out in this dark but I'm still shining

Uh, Let's take a second and go back to the beginning

Back to theses trenches before I knew that I'd be winning

Back to these days before I know I'd be living

Back to those days

Before I got scared of love cause I got used to hate

Just wanted something real but I got used to fake

I remember those days I was down and I was hurting

But now I enter rooms I'm cutting tension like a surgeon

I been up in first place they praying on my worst days

This lead ain't got so big they couldn't touch me on my worst days

Always busy always grinding at my workplace

Even back when I had no say

But now my life is crazy as its ever been, scheduling

Time with me alone is like a meeting with the president

They can't shut my light off Thomas where is Edison

Striving for the top, what a view I'm bout to settle in

How I make right to the top but I'm still grinding

Uh, aye

They looked me dead in my eyes I know they was lying

Left me out in this dark but I'm still shining

How I make right to the top but I'm still grinding

Uh, aye

They looked me dead in my eyes I know they was lying

Left me out in this dark but I'm still shining

I've been the backup for a minute so I can't fall

Phone's been on silent for some years that why they can't call

Navigated storms I'm about to make my landfall

I'll be around for years

They want me signing deals

Its like I'm out for real

How'd I get out these trenches

But I'm here grinding still

Lapping every nigga

But this ain't track and field

I'm talkin' so for real

I got used to all this fighting

You know that my instincts is to put the gloves again

Honestly I got it in me I can make this run again

Honestly my girl's the reason I show love again
