The God Smile - Wale

I shine

You shine

We fall

I shine

You shine

We fall

I shine

You shine

We fall

I shine

You shine

We fall

Girls kissin' me all out Christian Dior'd out

We gon' hold this city down 'til we see the whole city up

Lord shine Lord shine your light on me

Lord shine your light on

A1 when I'm on site my day ones never think twice

Same one that get all the hate through it all I illuminate away

Nah nig nah nig

Nah nah nah nah nah ni**a

Don't you doubt it if you was my ni**a

We ain't fall out so you still my ni**a

Don't always call you but you've been my ni**a

You're still the same ni**a it's just the trust

Ni**a when you work hard

Used to get the outfit up off Curt Bone

We done came a long way from the all day store

And now spending 8 somethin' out Bergdoff

Word up pray to God that my set good

Stand close to my rivals

Like you got a job they would kill for

It's all good cause the flow is to die for

My God ni**a life like a dice roll

And it's twice hard throwin' 'em with mics on

I hit 'em with the rap everybody slept

Then I came back killin' everybody's nap like a hot comb

At Saks 'bout to cop more

And cop more if they got more

And come back if they got more

Middle finger to them folks tell 'em GABOS

Cause this game ain't based on sympathy

Know that fame will steal your energy

Girls kissin' me all out Christian Dior'd out

Hold my city down 'til we see the whole city up

Go shine go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on

A1 when I'm on site my day ones never think twice

Same one that get all the hate through it all I illuminate away

Nah nig nah nig

Nah nah nah nah nah ni**a

Don't you doubt it if you was my ni**a

We ain't fall out so you still my ni**a

Don't always call you but you've been my ni**a

You're still the same ni**a it's just the trust

At 21 played running back

24 I had the city mad

Slim Charles in the Y now

You could say me and him brought the city back

Used to hustle in hand-me-downs

Now I'm whippin' the Camry 'round

Hit licks in Baltimore

Gettin' Hip-Hop chicken in like Kevin Liles

Uptown I learned a lot

Suburbs taught me good

The white girl destroyed the black neighborhood

So white boys can run the world

White cops is goin' to war

I write thoughts and put 'em in songs

And the devil around the corner

It's all good cause the God is livin' in you

Cops can look in the bag

Tricky to man so can you read a mind

And they used to go to madness and I ain't really have it

Somehow they let another Eddie advance

Well I shine for the niggas that passed

So my niggas in the pen got me pushin' a pad

Back in the crack era daddy whippin' a cab

But now I'm pushin' a camper doin' a similar route

One time meets Jay Hov

Marion Berry meetin' with Barry O

This is Lil Wayne meets Wayne Perry

This is bad brains from the go go

I'm in tears so I'm thankful

Cause I got haters and I got flow

Niggas can't tell me nothin' I got this sh*t jumpin'

From the white house to the black hole

Don't let no lame tell you differently

B**ch I'm the savior of the DMV

Girls kissin' me all out Christian Dior'd out

Hold my city down 'til we see the whole city up

Go shine go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on

A1 when I'm on site my day ones never think twice

Same one that get all the hate through it all I illuminate away

Nah nig nah nig

Nah nah nah nah nah ni**a

Don't you doubt it if you was my ni**a

We ain't fall out so you still my ni**a

Don't always call you but you've been my ni**a

Go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on me

Go shine your light on
