lyrics

I shine real bright where light is absent
I dilate your iris you need an aspirin
I do it everyday till my life is spent
listen to these bars and you'll hear my passion
to seek the everlasting before it's to late
treat you to his plan like Starbucks and lattes
take you back to him like these are the breaks
all school new school don't matter what's for you
the message is the same cause God will never change
and all i really do is expose you to his name
Yahweh, most high, Jehovah jirah, i claim
don't matter what you call him his love is all the same
to the urban, sub urban the ghetto and masses
the thugs the skaters the metals and the hustlers
my words are relevant they heaven sent
his message is worth more than 50 cent

I got to shine a little brighter
you got to shine a little brighter
we need to shine a little brighter
let you light shine a little brighter

some live in ignorance promote dividens
I am here to show you the truth and deliverance
you need to open your eyes see the light of day
you wanna live for ever? there only one way
It's for you it's for me it for him it's for her
no matter where you at the point is that you heard
don't try to do you dirt before you get clean
is like trying to die before you get to live
is like copping a plea before you do the deed
is like charging for something when you got it free
it don't make sense makes matters more intense
like trying live now but using past tense
commonsense is dense creates consequence
like trying to push your point at any expense
a breath of fresh air with carcinogens
and make you live it out like this your last dance

Bridge

I try to live this out is my mission no doubt
give it to raw all in hopes to draw you out
put it plain and simple but well thought out
step after step now listen to this now
first its the idea that something is going on
second is the thought that something is going wrong
third is to stop what you've done before
last is to say I need you now Lord
you heard it said before and i say it again
say it one more time cause it's not in vain
you wanna live forever there's only one way
let me stop the beat put the lyrics on repeat
first its the idea that something is going on
second is the thought that something is going wrong
third is to stop what you've done before
last is to say I need you now Lord

I got to shine a little brighter
you got to shine a little brighter
we need to shine a little brighter
let you light shine a little brighter
