Shine Lyrics - Meek Mill

Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead 

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread 

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds 

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah

I was born poor, but Ima die rich 

Ridin' in the 7 like I'm Pac in 96 

Still rockin' with the clique I had to grind with 

Went to war, flip nickels and sold them dimes with 

Yea, I used to sell nicks of reggie nigga 

I get the chills every time that lil' confetti hit us 

North Philly skinny bull but I'm heavy nigga 

They switched sides they was never with us 

And petty niggas wanna mention my name 

To get acknowledged 

Hoppin' that we act like a fool and get in violence 

I'd rather kill 'em all with success and give 'em knowledge 

Then throw it all away for a sucker cause we the hottest 

My momma crib big as a church I'm bein' modest 

No sleep puttin' in work that's how she got it 

Bout it bout it I started grindin' when niggas doubted 

Now I got it I'm drippin' in diamonds a nigga got it that's gangsta

Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead 

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread 

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds 

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

Out in Hollywood trying not to get caught up in it 

Struggle was brought up in it, hustle, we gonna get it 

This one is for my youngins going to school with corner niggas 

Don't get caught up in that boxing corner nigga 

Times changed, it's feeling like live niggas versus corny niggas 

They building more jails I'm warning niggas, shots fire 

Momma crying, traumatizing their mourning niggas 

Them cops killing us like it's war with niggas, it's on with niggas 

I did shed so many tears at that corner store 

Man I spent so many years at that corner store 

I see my niggas disappear at that corner store 

When they was sleepin' we was there at that corner store 

Ya and we was eating at the corner store 

Coppers catch us and they beat us at that corner store 

Shit we was toting on them heaters at that corner store 

Cause they was ploting tryna leave us at that corner store 

Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead 

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread 

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds 

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

Its no roof so they can see me shine 

Whole city came out just to see me rhyme 

Started off in Impalas now its DB9 

In the Aston like he James Bond 

Who he think he is? 

Diamonds dancing all on me doing the stanky leg 

I hear them whispers niggas talkin' what they think he made 

Think what you want you gon' think I'm paid 

Shit he balling I don't think he saved, shit all I did was [?] and pray 

I got young niggas in the grave 

They got murdered by a nigga that got bitter ways 

They don't give a fuck about us put us in a cage 

Let us out with that parole man this shit a maze 

RIP to Snupe, RIP to Scooter 

RIP to Dex told him I could be his shooter 

I tell Snupe they don't love ya they just want to do ya 

You see that truck that's the feds watchin' not an Uber 

Wasn't for this music, I'll proly be dead 

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread 

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds 

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah 

It's no roof so they can see me shine 

No roof so they can see me shine 

Only a matter of time 

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind 

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah
