Upchurch - How I Shine lyrics
[Upchurch - How I Shine lyrics]
Band, Band, Band yeah
I never had a clue, I never had a clue
Oh no, yeah
I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
Just a dude out chasin' dreams
Hometown deep off in the sticks
And they said, it won't work
Why you wastin' so much time
I told 'em let the fog clear and
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
Teachers, peers, friends
Exes used to tell me I was lame
Now every time they on Facebook they
Gotta see my ass on stage
Makin' a name, doing my thing
Reppin' the place where all of us stay
Now every time you hear Cheatham County
What you think of, it's probably my face
Yeah it's my face, yeah it's my songs
It's probably the Billboard charts
Up on my wall
And they in my DM like, let's hit the mall
When they never backed me for nothing at all
And I ain't the guy that you could just call
My ego the same, my circle is small
I know who my team is, it ain't none of y'all
So rest in peace to the folks in this song
I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
Just a dude out chasin' dreams
Hometown deep off in the sticks
And they said, it won't work
Why you wastin' so much time
I told 'em let the fog clear and
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I I I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
Just a dude out chasin' dreams
Hometown deep off in the sticks
And they said, it won't work
Why you wastin' so much time
I told 'em let the fog clear and
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
Honestly I gotta give it to my fans
They're the ones who always
Keep me goin' forward
Since back when I was makin' videos
Of my two-tone dealin' white Fords
Slippin' transmission, no cash for gas
They seen the heart, they seen me start
They see me now and that's why the hell
I'm right here on the mic rappin' for 'em
I was goin' down the wrong road
No direction, no destination
Nor a place to go and I ain't gotta lie
No need for none of that bullshit sugar coat
Now I'm out here on the
Pavement givin' back what
All these folks come and gave to me
That's inspiration to go be somethin'
I'd trade sellin' out for being me
Yeah, I'm a go-getter, done got it
Music on iTunes and it's on and poppin'
Ain't no other country rappers
'round to top me
I stay eating y'all like IHOP in the mornin'
Sayin' bring the heat
But all I do is scorch it
'Less you're family or fans
You're not important
I stay gettin' stoned on
Front and back porches
All I'm waitin' for is Nashville's red carpet
I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
Just a dude out chasin' dreams
Hometown deep off in the sticks
And they said, it won't work
Why you wastin' so much time
I told 'em let the fog clear and
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I I I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
Just a dude out chasin' dreams
Hometown deep off in the sticks
And they said, it won't work
Why you wastin' so much time
I told 'em let the fog clear and
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I'ma show you how I shine, okay
I'ma show you how I shine today, oh yeah
Church
I never had a clue, I never had a clue
Oh no, yeah
I never had a clue my life
Would end up like this
