It's about time that I got my shine
I been on my grind put it all the line
They drove me out of my mind
They drove me out of my mind
I've been up and down, on and off, I thought knocking on wood would be a hit
I've been signed and dropped, found and lost, I'm always flying up out of that pit
Since I'm pigeon holed, I fell down I'm not tripping no
No cash, I'ma pass like give and go, I drank Pabst never got the blue ribbon though
But I remember how I spoke it to fruition I was broke and on a mission, I got focused then my music got big
But every time I cook up it's like every time I look up someone doing bigger than I ever did
I don't let that deter me I'm determined so don't worry bro I'm in the studio right now
I been in this thing ten years 'till my name don't ring I survived nine rounds
See I might of fell, took a L, make another move, take two L's, flip around, that's a W
I might be out my mind but it's about that time
They hand me a Grammy as I walk on stage before thanking my family
They're watching in Chinese and French and Afghani, I'll say to America right in the camera
It's about time that I got my shine
I been on my grind put it all the line
They drove me out of my mind
They drove me out of my mind
It'll all be fine
When the stars align
Yeah, you been waiting on me, I've been waiting on myself
On the darker days it's hard to play this game with patient strength
I been hurting for a while damn near lost in some spells
And the waves 'gon come and go but you must see over the swells
'Cause money real great but it sure don't make you
I been on the job, long shift, no break room
I been on call with the songs on play through
But I don't need to take it to a place where it can't go
Living just to give it all you got
Getting to the top takes time just watch
And the more you lose, the more you lost
If you're wondering what all this cost 'cause baby
I been in this shit for a while now
It's about time I get the shine that I ground for
That I ground for
It's about time that I got my shine
I been on my grind put it all the line
They drove me out of my mind
They drove me out of my mind
It'll all be fine
Used to think that life was all about just having fun
But I'm making up for the mistakes I made when I was young
I been going hard, flowing bars, taking aim like I'm throwing darts
Like cobra I know I'm smart, been pulling doubles like Noah's ark
I've been finding my way (Looking for my path now)
And I've been searching all day (And I ain't talking no pat downs)
And I've been working away (And I'm in need of a nap now)
And I will make it one day (And you can reference my background)
I've been rapping 'bout since my cap and gown
Found a perfect habit for my blabbermouth
Believe in your dreams keep your passion loud
Khabib on the mat never tapping out
'Till I'm famous and I made it
Not nameless Rick James shit
Won't say it 'cause I'm gracious but
It's about time that I got my shine
I been on my grind put it all the line
They drove me out of my mind
They drove me out of my mind
It'll all be fine
When the stars align
They drove me out of my mind
They drove me out of my mind
