[Chorus: Royal Flush & Prodigy]

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

Remind me of the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—"

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

Remind me of the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Shine— shine— shine—"

[Verse 1: Royal Flush & Hi-Tek]

Official facts, I walk around heavy with two gats

So niggas can't snatch what's mine, I watch my back

The whole world schemin' on a way to get trapped

I ain't mad at that, take what you want, but not mines, black

Seen a lot of cats get yacked (For all of that)

Ain't no gettin' back, this the shit that comes with this pack (Word)

Three things, guns and biscuits, don't risk it

It's all materialistic, die over this shit (True)

And almost got robbed by these two kids in a Lex

With light tint, steady movin' in (Said to myself, "They can't win")

Actin' like a friend, son he got close, I bust ten

Bet these niggas won't ever snatch a chain again

[Chorus: Royal Flush & Prodigy]

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

Remind me of the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—"

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

Remind me of the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Shine— shine— shine—"

[Verse 2: Royal Flush & Hi-Tek]

So next time before you buy a link, you probably would think

About the situation it brings, for brolic shit, you comin' clean

Thug niggas and fiends, you got it good, they gonna scheme

(Know what I mean?) I'm dyin' over better things

Not flooded pieces, kids die for no reason, sick believin'

I wish we all wouldn't wear it even, but it if you gotta hold ya heat

Mommy always said it's dangerous in these streets

Watch out for beef, your closest friend'll be your enemy

And stab you in your back for your equities

The recipe, fuck that shit, live out your destiny

That shine ain't impressin' me (Word up), I wear mines to the death of me

Straight up and down, that shit is stressin' me

But basically cape on my chest will be my legacy

Remember me? I try to warned you 'fore it happen

A lot of niggas die over jewelry snatchin'

Take it from Royal Flush, I did the shit before rappin'

[Chorus: Royal Flush & Prodigy]

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

It feel like the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—"

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

It feel like the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Shine— shine— shine—"

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

It feel like the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—"

Everywhere I go, they try to take what's mine

It feel like the Island, 'cause "still came home with a shine—

Still came home with a shine—

Shine— shine— shine—"
