Shout out to iinfynite..
Yeah.
It's Prodigy.

This is my life story.
But it's not written down,
and it's not on paper.

It's expressed through my music.
So let's do this.


VERSE 1

YO,

turn the speakers up this is something you wanna hear
It's been troubling my heart every day, week, year, man
Living in a town that's supposed to be home

Where I sat in my tree fort Watching deer roam
yeah,
me and papa built that but that was yesterday

And nothing been the same since he's gone away
And I wish he coulda been here to see me on tour
but I guess all the angels just wanted him more...

even though hes past its like the days never did.
same white house, same town, same kid.
same yellow school bus Same red school

where you walk through the doors
and you see the golden rule in
big black letters hey it's a good thought

but ACTIONS speak louder is what IVE been taught.
And trust me when I say I heard the fists loud and clear
so I think it's bout time for me to get outta here.

it's like you build these dreams just so they can tear you down
well I'm sick of being stepped on, PUSHED to the ground
told im never gonna make it well, you can watch and see

as my rhymes and my message change the industry
keep bringing me down, that wont get you any higher
my dreams are a rocket, and, im a frequent flyer

well I'm walking from the hate, and ill walk to the moon
So you can tell MJ, I'll be seeing him soon.


CHORUS:
It's time, for me, to shine.
Let go, take back what's mine.

I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine
Shine shine shine shine
So watch me shine!


VERSE 2


Thinking back now on those past days and nights
Looking back at my family, I'd say we did alright
Single mom and two kids tryna make it on their own

if my dad ever saw me hed say "look how much you've grown"
Yeah yeah dad I've grown growin' up to be a man
thought I couldn't do without you but I learned that I can

Cause what kinda man doesn't pick up the phone?
Ask his son how's he been since he was six years old.
Every choice that you made, you made it for yourself

Never once put me first over anybody else
But that's okay dad cause I'm doing just fine
While you wishin' you could turn back the hands of time

Always doing what you wanted but, never with me.
I bet you didn't even know that my nickname was T
well maybe someday youll pick up the phone

but I'll be sending you to voicemail cause now, no one's home.

CHORUS:

It's time, for me, to shine.
Let go, take back what's mine.
I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine

Shine shine shine shine
So watch me shine!


VERSE 3:
Ask me how I'm doin man I'm doing JUST FINE
Cause I'm taking all these dreams and I'm gonna make em mine

So, shout out to anyone who's ever had a dream
Keep pushing through the fight no matter how hard it seems
And to all the haters, always thought you were cool
While you were picking on others and were always so cruel
Excluded me and shoved me, made me feel small

Well take a look now haters, I'm standing tall.
I'm living my dream and there's nothing you can do
you can never understand me till you walk in my shoes
You don't know someone's story just because you know their name
Their inside and outside may not be the same

So, shout out to the man who never really was a dad
I hope that you know you lost the best thing you had
So watch me as I backflip, it's one of a kind
Cause I'm turning my back and I'm leaving you behind yeah!


CHORUS:
It's time, for me, to shine.
Let go, take back what's mine.
I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine
Shine shine shine shine

So watch me shine!

CHORUS:
It's time, for me, to shine.
Let go, take back what's mine.
I'm standing tall, and I'm, gonna shine

Shine shine shine shine
So watch me shine!

CHORUS:
It's time, for me, to shine.
Let go, take back what's mine.
I'm moving on, and I'm, gonna shine

Shine shine shine shine
So watch me shine!
