[Intro]

Woo, hah

Yeah (Always wanted to start a track like that)

Aw yeah

Hey (Aw yeah)

It’s a victorious occasion (Like that too)

Yeah

Hey

[Chorus]

I don't cry, I just try

It could be worse, man, but I'm still alive

Ayy, what is the time? 'Cause I gotta shine

Shine, shine

[Verse 1]

Right on time, bitches

Rude awakening

Yeah, I'm in my prime widdit Lepara is gone

Some of y'all asking why it took so long

I say, "Fuck it, who knows, nigga? As long as we on"

Look at the tatts on my arm

Got the charisma, the charm

Knew it was coming like the itch in my palm

I was born for this entertainment shit, my dawg

It's my time like the piece on my wrist, my dawg

Cava thе placement I'm finally off the bеnch, my dawg

Cava the drip I'm muh fuckin' drenched, my dawg

God passing me hits and I don't even flinch, my dawg

I been the shit

Wake up and smell the stench, my dawg (Uh-uh)

So, I got my mojo back so where da dojo at?

So I can kick my raps

So I can spit the facts

I'm where the dough is at

I'm where the G.O.A. Ts is at

That's where my soul is at, yeah

[Chorus]

I don't cry, I just try

It could be worse, man, but I'm still alive

Ayy, what is the time? 'Cause I gotta shine

Shine, shine

I don't cry, I just try

It could be worse, man, but I'm still alive

Ayy, what is the time? 'Cause I gotta shine

Shine, shine

[Verse 2]

My girl thicker than the tension in the room

My aura got you niggas uncomfortable I assume, uh

I guess I'm just feelin' myself and not the pressure

Marble floors, of course I'm workin' for nothin' lesser, yeah

Much fresher, my pop's successor

Real bar possessor

Label me "Pro finnesser", yeah

Prophetic, my thoughts are forever

Flowers for my pops on my mom's old dresser, yeah

Don't it feel like it's 25th December?

The gift is overwhelmin', I am somethin' to remember, yeah

Cool nigga, hardly lose my temper

Calm cologne, I smell like confidence, yeah, uh

How am I makin' all these classics, man? Yeah

And I'm talkin' back-to-back

Don't come near me If the energy don't match

Man, we made it happen through the bad, imagine that

Family first by default

Even when the problems always took time to resolve

Yeah, it gets better, yeah

But ain't it funny that Life tears apart until death brings together, yeah

Pray for wisdom, but work for wealth

Kill a beat a day for instru-mental health, yeah

There I was thinkin' that I'm black balled

But I was waitin' to fuck the game up, nigga, so I was blue balled

[Break]

(Eh, ke tse feng tseo?)

Yeah

I guess it's time, yeah

[Outro]

I don't cry, I just try

It could be worse, man, but I'm still alive

What is the time? 'I just wanna shine

I just wanna shine
