I keep His word in me
|
So I'm shinin all the time
|
Shinin all the time
|
Shinin all the time
|
|
Ay! Welcome! (From them hot boys)
|
I guess you wondering how we shine?
|
How we glow homie?
|
But non other than the word of God that keeps us shining.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I keep His word in me
|
So I'm shinin all the time
|
shinin all the time
|
shinin all the time
|
I keep His word in me
|
So I'm shinin all the time
|
shinin all the time
|
shinin all the time
|
[Repeat]
|
|
Partner life can be a struggle
|
It get rough sometimes
|
So I put my faith in scripture
|
Not the stuff that I buy
|
And when I try to take this Truth
|
From the scripture to masses
|
They say they can't hack this
|
And saying I'm judging like Mathis (man!)
|
I ain't got no problem with cats who say they wanna be happy
|
But the problem is your search is never ending like habits
|
Without God
|
Why do we settle for less?
|
Shiny rocks they say was rare
|
So we call it the best
|
And since your favorite rapper, rapper
|
Rocks it then you rock it
|
Losing you soul
|
Solely so they'll jock it
|
If there was a treasure that we said was better
|
And we told you where to find it
|
Would you follow or not even bother
|
And sadly, you'd settle for diamonds
|
But sadly several would settle
|
Never inquiring who the Messiah be
|
Neither the scripture that He was inspiring
|
Shunning the person that shining is requiring
|
Looking for pension but never retiring
|
Wanting to shine all of the time
|
Rocking the ice that you claiming is blinding
|
It's blinding you
|
Look at the irony
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I keep, I keep His Word in me
|
It's like a light to my path
|
Mid amongst vipers we coming to light up the Ave
|
Whether you're in Rykas Island or you're right in my class
|
Adding up the sin price
|
I hope you're liking the math
|
Trust me dawg my wrist don't glitz with diamonds
|
So what is the means by which I'm shining?
|
Okay... you want to know the whole way?
|
Let me tell you what His word say
|
Lived the perfect life
|
Paid the purchase price
|
Gave up His life
|
Then he rose on the third day... okay
|
We born in this world into sin and
|
As soon as we step in it's really a problem
|
And what are we goin' do about this issue
|
And who is the one that can solve it
|
If sin is the cancer
|
And we need to answer
|
And we need to know what the cure is
|
The cure is the blood of Jesus
|
He's the one that can free us
|
He sure is
|
Yes... now that's the reason we gleam
|
The reason we rap, we sing, because Jesus is King
|
Yes... from internal to external like a hard drive
|
Cause I was saved like data the day the Lord died
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I'm shinin all the time but you blind to the fact
|
Because your life is moving backwards like rewinding this track
|
Even if I'm wearing hand me downs with Calvin Klein on my slacks
|
Rocking the ice that I got from the swamp meat
|
That's got you downing me black
|
I'm still shining like a light baby
|
My mind is in the right places
|
The bible writes in this
|
My savior died in life that He might save us
|
So it don't matter
|
If your chain hang low
|
See when you die where will you go
|
Its gain the world and lose your soul
|
|
Man we gotta consider this life is nothing but a step to get to the King
|
Look at the people that's chasing the bling
|
All they pursuing is doing their thing
|
And what does that bring more of the pain
|
Sending you back into chasing the things
|
Only a cycle pick up the bible
|
Look and just see that it's simple and plain
|
Yea it's cool to rock them new shoes
|
Yea it's cool to rock them new jeans
|
Red monkeys Red Bapes
|
Don't make it replace the King
|
If what you buy what you drive
|
Stopping you from worshipping God
|
That's the problem
|
Get resolving
|
All of it dissolves in the fire
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|

Shinin'
