| Yeah | |
| I roll with clever broads | |
| With goals like Federov | |
| Seeking better jobs instead of running scam's like "set it off" | |
| some aren't the sharpest but they know what they stand for | |
| they don't let jams disrespect them on the dance floor | |
| and no they never hit college like the Danforth | |
| for damn sure they got each other back like a jansport | |
| girls in a league of they own, like gina davis, | |
| nina simon ladies, tina fey chicks, christina applegates | |
| and bonita applebaums that don't mask and say "nothing" when | |
| you ask whats wrong. That's what's up. And they can laugh it up. | |
| And they don't pass the buck. | |
| Nothing for certain we all have to trust someone, | |
| I used to want to find the love of my life, | |
| now i'm trying to live a life of love, it's not just a husband and wife thing | |
| something that christ bring's some comfort at night | |
| true beauty doesn't run from the light. | |
| Keep Shining. | |
| Keep Shining | |
| And I've been known to talk about women on a track or two | |
| I talk to women I just can't talk for women, | |
| thats for you | |
| We need women for that more women in rap, | |
| even tracks like kweli's for women | |
| That's still only half the view of the world | |
| theres no girls rapping so we only hearing | |
| half the truth, what we have to lose? | |
| too much half our youth gone represented, | |
| the better halves of dues. | |
| So we don't hear about your brain just your "brains" | |
| How you Roc-A-Fella | |
| Stacy Dash things. | |
| We just need your voice like an acapella | |
| Something in the music gotta change. | |
| Alot of things. | |
| It's funny how words like consciousness and positive music | |
| can somehow start to feel hollow. | |
| its become too synonymous. | |
| We're polishing soft collagen lips, on the face of grace politics. | |
| Well you can't be everything to everyone, so lemme be anything to anyone. | |
| The world turns and their's clouds sometimes but there's no such thing as a setting sun. | |
| It always keep shining. | |
| Keep Shining. | |
| Check it out. | |
| My mom taught me where to keep my heart. | |
| My aunt taught me how to sing two parts. | |
| My sis taught me how to parallel park, | |
| and tried to teach me math but she way to too smart. | |
| My grandma in the 80's is still sharp. | |
| My girl's cousin is in activism in art. | |
| They taught there's no curls to tight, no mind too bright, no skin to dark | |
| to keep shining. | |
| Yeah, Keep shining. | |
| Yeah | |
| Yeah. | |
| Keep Shining. |
