Next 2 Shine

You don't-you don't-you don't know me, me, me - fool
You disown me, you don't-you don't -

If they don't rock with it
Tell 'em to step to the side
Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe
That's how we kept it alive
Rock the mental exercise
Climb the ladder, I'm the next to shine (shine, shine, shine)

Beam through a spot light, I'm feeing' anxious
Like I speed through a stop light, a bit dangerous
Similar to them fog lights, I'm in amazement
How I been through a long life, with a shorter age and
How I been into harm's sight, but shook the pavement
Meanwhile I stay up all night for organization
I know that I'll be alright, the more that I pace it
I'm somethin' like the calm type, I'm known to be patient
But don't fret, the stage light be incredible
My own quest, I may shine, it's inevitable
A great time to be special
I don't waste time, perro
I save mankind from the rubble
I'm on your poster, ya magazine and television
But I suppose it was a merely a dream from the beginning
And as I reach another plateau
Indeed a hint of black soul
And never be another AFRO

If they don't rock with it
Tell 'em to step to the side
Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe
That's how we kept it alive
Rock the mental exercise
Climb the ladder, I'm the next to shine (shine, shine, shine)

If you don't rock with me, tell 'em step to the side
I made the block litty, with an excellent vibe
And when I drop through the city, it's a blessin' to shine
So come and walk with me, let us take the best of a stride
I inhale through the Rollie, and exhale the greenery
I'm somethin' like Paul Thomas Anderson scenery
Maybe even Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai
With the bright shine, my sword known to reflect light
Born as an infant but since been the noble King
This been the wish of an older me, the FRO to be
No longer the misfit, I graduate to hold the key
This my tradition, I navigate and hope to lead
To greatness, I'm back and forth pacin'
The rappin' course made him
Known to never forfeit or break, bend
And as I reach another plateau
Indeed a hint of black soul
And never be another AFRO

If they don't rock with it
Tell 'em to step to the side
Drop a hip-hop lesson and vibe
That's how we kept it alive
Rock the mental exercise
Climb the ladder, I'm the next to shine (shine, shine, shine)

You don't-you don't-you don't know me, me, me - fool
You disown me, you don't-you don't-you don't know me - fool
Y-y-yeah! Y-y-yeah!
You disown me, you don't-you don't-you don't-know me
