Shine

Are you ready?
It's your girl Estelle
(Showtime, showtime)
This album's for my people
Gonna be a struggle
But ya know what?
Fuck it
We're gonna have fun tonight
You feel me?
(Let's go)

Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

When the lights go down
What you know about me?
What you know
Is what I choose to let you see
But I'm from London
Home of the Big Ben
I grew up in west
Specifically West Kent
Now let me slow it down
A little bit so you can feel me
Cause where I'm from there
Wasn't shit to do
No not really

Who'da thought
That it would happen
This London chick start rappin'
Now American boys are chattin'
All about me with my wicked accent
And yes I stays on my grind
You go get yours I'll get mine
Don't worry 'bout me
I'm fine
Cause I'mma shine
Sing

Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

Ya don't know
I'm a 80's baby
9 kids in the yard
It was kinda crazy
Still
No kids thus far myself
I'm scared of the pain
I might not do well as a mom

Still the work gets done
Yes I worry 'bout bills
But a change gonna come
I wanna play rapper
Rock the bells
But I only gotta stack
For the little estelza

You don't wanna know
Bout them days that go
I got pain overload
You don't wanna know
About the things I know
I just can't take no more

Most of the time
Though I gotta stay on
I gotta stay real
I gotta stay strong

You know I'm heavy
Cause I roll with John
So I'm gonna be fresh
When the lights come on
Come on

Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

Everybody's watching tonight
It's my time
While the lights on
Everything I wanted is mine
I'mma shine

Oh this is my song
I'm just like you
I gotta fight to stay strong
Just cause it clears
It don't mean that it's over
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine

I'mma shine
I'mma shine
I'mma shine
While my lights on
