Uh, we just wanted to against the grain a little bit So Miss Madeline Edwards, if you would 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun Aight, I feel like the masses on melatonin when it come to melanin I grew up melancholy 'cause I ain't realize that the hemoglobin in my skin Was connected to a lineage that never ever had to penny pinch Serpent hissing at me, I take the blade to his neck to kill all the hissy fits Ugh, please don't try me, I get more than grimey wen it come to Juju Hence why my name is Tobechukwu and the flow like a tutu Wrapped around the waist of Misty Copeland Graceful even though I hail from broken Places where they say that none are chosen to rise among the raptors Like DeRozan, ugh Flow o so, so Jurassic Tough to find a suitor in my bracket Where I'm from My hood was filled with bastards Not they fault They daddy had it backwards Hopefully they don't adopt the habits Of the seed that turned them to a savage 'Cause 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine on all of them Shine on all of them My umi said to shine your light So shine on all of them Shine Shine Shine on all of them Shine on all of them My umi said to shine your light So shine on all of them We in the land of milk and honey But ain't nothing sweet, these demons hungry They go bananas for the money But not me, I'm no circus monkey It's crazy, it's crazy No Shaitan can drown us, we wavy Too smooth to be fooled by Fugazies I guess that's all part of what made me Shine Shine Shine on all of them Shine on all of them My umi said to shine your light So shine on all of them Climb Climb Climb You were born to win You were born to win Don't let them make you colorblind and not adore your skin
