Keep Shining
Verse 1:I roll with clever broadsWith goals like FederovSeeking better jobsinstead of running scams like Set It OffSome aren't the smartest but they know what they stand forThey don't let jams disrespect 'em on the dance floorAnd though they never hit College like the DanforthFor damn sure they got each other's back like a JansportGirls in a league of their own like Geena DavisNina Simone ladies, Tina Fey chicksChristina Applegates and Bonita ApplebumsThat don't mask and say, 'nothing' when you ask what's wrongThat's what's up, they can laugh it upAnd they don't pass the buckNothin's for certain, we all have to trustSomeoneI used to want to find the love of my lifeNow I'm tryin' to live a life of loveIt's not just a husband and wife thingIt's something that Christ bringsTrue beauty doesn't run from the lightKeep shiningVerse 2:And I've been known to talk about womenLetras de cancioneson a track or twoI talk to women, I just can't talk for womenThat's for youWe need women for thatMore women in rapEven tracks like Kwali's Four WomenThat's still only half the view of the worldThere's no girls rappin' so we're only hearin' half the truthWhat we have to lose? Too muchHalf our youth aren't represented, the better halves of dudesSo we don't hear about your brain, just your brainsHow you rock a fella, Stacey Dash damesWe just need your voice like an a capellaSomething in the music's gotta changeA lot of thingsIt's funny how words like, 'consciousness' and 'positive music'Can somehow start to feel hollow, it'sBecome synonymous with polishing soft collagen lipsOn the face of race politicsWell you can't be everything to everyoneSo let me be anything to anyoneThe world turns and there's clouds sometimesBut there's no such thing as a setting sunIt always keeps shiningVerse 3:My mom taught me where to keep my heartMy aunts taught me how to sing two partsMy sis taught me how to parallel parkTried to teach me math but she's way too smartMy grandma in her 80′s is still sharpMy girl cousin's an activism at artThey taught me there's no curls too tightNo mind to brightNo skin too dark to keep shining
