The Shine... - Intellectual

Yeah yeah

Look

VERSE 1

Young King

With a slap on his belt and a spring in his step

I’m really the bloody captain of the ship

Like my name Johnny Depp

Heavily alofted

To the pinnacle of artistry and knowledge of myself and all

They’ll be speaking of my mark forever

So there’s no chance they can put me on the shelf at all

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

I’m coming to claim whatever is mine

An African Keanu Reeves,The Oracle told me I was thе one

And you can clearly see the signs

Tеll whoever that you told was next up

That it’s undeniably my time

I got a style above average with a fire pen game

And a flow so sublime

For many year I been waiting my turn

So you know that I Gotta go HAAM now

I took a lot of hits and losses just to get ahead’

So you know I can’t stay where I am now

I’m bound to illuminate

Your pupil can’t handle anything this bright

They will try to throw me in the darkness

Or throw shade at the boy but they ain’t messing with the light

Yeh

CHORUS

Young king

With a slap in his belt and spring in his step

I’m really the bloody captain of the ship

Like my name Johnny Depp

Y’all see the light in me

So I know they trynna dim me now

But they don’t understand

There’s nothing in the world that could bring me down

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

You already know I’m getting mine, yeah

VERSE 2

A bunch of Fraziers trynna box with a Cassius

But me and you ain’t made from the same Clay

I really pack a punch but you got a weak jab

So basically we don’t even swing the same way

Hip-hop is a game of moves and freaking numbers

So Imma play it smart like Sudoku

It’s heartfelt when you feel the pain in my music

But as of now I’m just writing stuff that makes you feel like Goku

Na mjue mi sikuwangi na mchezo bro

Ata kidogo

Nakuwanga ligi so kama king Kaka bro

Nyote huwanga ligi ndogo

Sura kazi kila idha

Juu wakati wa kupoteza sinanga

Mistari mabeat na manoti

Hivyo ndio ni form vile hufaa kuwanga

Homie the stars are aligned

I’m sure you can tell my season is at hand

The game is over for you all

At the time my dice is finna freaking land

Hakuna pahali naenda

You might as well live to see me rearrange

The whole bloody game just to disarrange

And drive the hip-hop industry freaking insane

But I been doing well I been shining

I been able to see the silver lining

I been able to find the sun in me

And the gleam is so much that’s it’s blinding

I really wish someone would try me

I really wish you would step on my toes

Too bad if you came closer you would burn

Well, I guess that’s just how the story goes

When you’re a…

CHORUS

Young king

With a slap in his belt and spring in his step

I’m really the bloody captain of the ship

Like my name Johnny Depp

Y’all see the light in me

So I know they trynna dim me now

But they don’t understand

There’s nothing in the world that could bring me down

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

You already know I’m getting mine, yeah

VERSE 3

I can tell

Y’all looking at me sideways like you don’t got a life

They’re all in fear of the five foot freak

Word to the homie Phife

But I’m on this quest without a tribe

Man solo on a mission

Need no one else but myself

Cuz I got enough drive my Keys in the ignition

Step on the clutch I’m shifting these gears

Accelerating to the finish line

I been overlapping niggas

I’m coming for gold the trophy is really mine

If you’re still doubting the boy

I guess your mentality has heavy flaws

Because I been swinging straight for the walls

Bars have been touching hearts and dropping jaws

Had to up my freaking frequency And cut the deadweight off of me

So that I could finally ascend

Most of the levels that many of you are visitors to

Are just a bunch of pit stops that I transcended

Kurarua beats kama kawa

Kuspit kama laser beam ni kama super power

Watu wengi wasema mistari ziko sick

Ndio huyu mimi nimekuja na kadawa

A couple people wanna see me under

That’s the type of stuff that really makes me wonder

What’s so freaking wrong about winning?

Why the hell these kids wanna see me and the cash asunder?

Probably because they all know that I’m a threat

That on these beats I’m a psychopath

But I isn’t even tripping because when a man is destined for greatness

Nobody can block his page, yuh

Cause I’m a....

CHORUS

Young king

With a slap in his belt and spring in his step

I’m really the bloody captain of the ship

Like my name Johnny Depp

Y’all see the light in me

So I know they trynna dim me now

But they don’t understand

There’s nothing in the world that could bring me down

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

Ain’t nobody messing with the shine

You already know I’m getting mine

You already know I’m getting mine, yeah
