1982 - Shining lyrics

(Cuz when the sun shines
Then the world ends)
(Ain't no pit stops, No more girlfriends)
(Who the fuck was you?
Where your story end?)
(And your life start?
I guess it all depends)

And we wilin' standing on the corner of the
Block and we grindin'
Jumping off the edge of the
Roof and we flyin'
Until the world catches up and we shinin'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining'

I'm a bad mutha
They could never do what I do
Homie I flow original


Put the pencil to miracles
Since I left the umbilical I've
Been put on a pedestal
If they ever do come for you
Just kill them or they're killing you
Eye for an eye, bloody box cutter
Hit your top gunner
Put that on my pop's mother
I'm the rolling rock
Rolling with them rock runners
Chop butter up and stay
Stunting on you cocksuckers
Me and Stat like Scott and
Mike, got the chip, got the piff
And it's gonna get me where them rockets is
I love wearing the crown
Love tearing it down
The sun shining that appear in the clouds
Is me the gamma ray shining
Man that ain't diamonds
That's a rapper with a Uzi
In the jacket lining
Man I'm Illmatic, nah, this Dah Shinin
My Smith and Wesson and my
Big L speaking Ebonics

And we wilin' standing on the corner of the
Block and we grindin'
Jumping off the edge of the
Roof and we flyin'
Until the world catches up and we shinin'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining

I'm on the block where my little homies grind
They say they hope a cat like
Me come through when they rhyme
I could be Fat Joe if they Pun in they prime
Cuz I know Statik
He on the radio all the time
But, I be on my grind, no sleep playa
No major labels backing me
Just feeding me paper
Just me on my own, just me in my zone
Watching my clones get dough off
What they really stole
I think of these labels and think
Of what they really owe
It's probably billions
Could give me and my children homes
Made of gold, Medusa, you finna turn to stone
I'm a cold cat who won't
Let them diss the code
I be shining, peep how I glow
Night light, flashlight pointed by the po'
If I make it high in the game and blow
I'm gonna stay high, and keep it on the low
Let's go

And we wilin' standing on the corner of the
Block and we grindin'
Jumping off the edge of the
Roof and we flyin'
Until the world catches up and we shinin'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining

I'm shining like blue and reds on a cop car
I keep it underground, fuck being a pop star
Cuz when you get on they
Steal your shit anyway
And make way for the next
Star to take your place
It's all fake, handshakes and funny smiles
Funny style shit just to see the money pile
And they on the prowl
Wolves in their sheep clothes
Saliva dripping from their fangs
Where their teeth show
Shit is deep, yo, highway robbery
Still I do the best to
Shine through whatever blocking me
My philosophy is keep it
Sweet and always honest, be
Unaffected, I'm an ill
Rapper named Termanology
Lemme slow it down, cuz I be losing y'all
I'm here to put the nooses
On these fake superstars i go super hard
Not to be confused with y'all
And even if we never blow
My crew still the bomb so, uh

And we wilin' standing on the corner of the
Block and we grindin'
Jumping off the edge of the
Roof and we flyin'
Until the world catches up and we shinin'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining'
And we shinin', shinin'
Until the world catches up and we shining

We are flying, we're flying
Jumping off the roof and we are flying
Shine so bright, shine so bright
Your whole night shine me, shine me
Grab a flashlight and shine me
Shine me, shine me, 8 double-A batteries
We're shining
