Like a fresh pair of penny loafers with the polish on it, tell em keep on shinin'
Like a diamond on your pinky when you sippin' pinot grigie, tell em keep on shinin'
Always knew you had the glow but now they see it from the coast, tell em keep on shinin'
They gon' keep on sleepin' on you till they see that rollie on you, tell em keep on shinin'
Keep on shinin', keep on shinin', keep on shinin'
Crazy, I'm off in Tay Brady kitchen, writin' up a million dollar mission
Bout to turn this whole house into a business, they ask me how you did it
I came up off reverse racism, if these walls could talk, they'd tell you that's a code
Paint pictures over rhythms, make your soul shiver
I'm on my fifth summer, my stock rising, my best clients invest in em
It's gon' be a long winter, cause I'm still winning
The jig is up, the smoke cleanin'
For those that's been pretendin'
When I walk in the building
Give me space like an indention
To put the city in position, that was my intention
We not the same, and I put that on my search history
A little mixed with links on how to run a business
You know Steph gon' keep it realistic
And have the profit off non-profits, we poppin'
Jimmy, keep on shinin'
Like a fresh pair of penny loafers with the polish on it, tell em keep on shinin'
Like a diamond on your pinky when you sippin'
Pinot Grigie, tell em keep on shinin'
Yeah, yeah
Always knew you had the globe, but now they see it from the coast
I tell em keep on shinin'
They gon' keep on sleepin' on you till they see that rollie on you
Tell em keep on shinin'
Ice cold, tree is tied to my soul
I won't fold, they can try to poke holes
But the story is authentic
And to my purpose I jumped the dome, Vinny
City filled up with gems, so we shine on
I closed that chapter, my n***a had to move on
300 deaths, I guess that's how the story go
I guess they didn't mention that Jane Doe, Jane Doe, Jane Doe
We pulled up Jay-Z 2003 and then we changed clothes
Shinin' like I'm fresh on parole
This like fresh veggies for the soul
They want dessert, I tell em take that n***a to go
And I keep on shinin'
Killin' us off, killin' us off, leave
They can never really tell us what the cops mean
Keepin' my eyes on the strap that's got a false name
I knew it all, I knew it all, I knew it all, I knew it all
Picture this, Greenwood Ave, Radman's land
See the brilliance filled by a black man's hand
It was for us, by us, false prop, fly us
Hold up, try us, peg-legged, got us, we radiate
These jewels cost, this shine ain't free
For a buck they twist our rubics of our history
But we're what it looks like when we got our own back
We're what it looks like when we build it back black
We're what it looks like in a hundred years time
Got the audacity to walk up out these ashes and shine
We shinin', we shinin'
They got Dickie Rome!
