Shine On

Get up Girl! (gotta) Put on a cup-a-java
Thank the Lord, "at least you got-A-JOBBA"
Talkin' & talkin' while I'm doin' the walkin'
Want a better day, and the people say "FINE"
Gotta get up, on your mark get-ready
Get yourself up and get down to-the-city
Slippin' and dippin' text-on-the-go
"Taxi man's movin' way too slow"
But you don't quit, you get hip
Stand with the people that are close knit
Smile on your brother,
Do unto the other all times...
And your Mama sez
Shine on! Tho it comes and goes
Shine on! Let the beat go on
Days turn into years
The music goes on and on and on
Shine on! Rise above it, movin' toe to toe
(You've got to) shine on, shine! Overcome it
Make the beat go on
Days turn into years
The music goes on and on and on
So you get up, get cleaned up,
Put on your makeup, workin'...
"Got to get it done", so you get there, you're not there,
You're somewhere, you're anywhere... but this reality
Get up girl, riding in the Chevy
Don't be late no speedin' on the levy
North, south, eastside, west
Hangin' out with the people who treat you the best
And you don't quit, ya get hip
Stand with the people that are close knit
Smile on your brother do unto the other
Ha ha... and your Mama sez
hi ha
