Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Driving through the fog with my high beams
Putting on my Visine
Let me tell you just what I seen
Angels falling from the sky
I just hope that they can take me
Back to where the pearly gates be
And I been counting down the days
Because I know we gotta die soon
That just means I get to fly soon
And I know I'm not the only one
Out here that's not afraid
[Verse 2]
Alright alrighty
Well I'm finally on my way
I know I can't fail if God testing my faith
And if I don't hurry I might be too late
Even with all of this darkness in my grave
[Verse 3]
I still can't help but shine
I can't help but shine
I still can't help but shine
And we can't help but shine
[Verse 4]
I can't help it
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I still can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
And we can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I can't help it
[Verse 5]
Ever since I was a little baby
This has been amazing
Thankful for the life you gave me
With every step and every breath
Know that I been living by you
Lord just tell me what should I do
And I been counting down the days
'Cause pretty soon this will be all gone
And your The One that I'ma call on
And that's how I know I'll be free
And won't be locked inside a cage
[Verse 6]
Alright alrighty
Now I'm finally on my way
I know I can't fail if God testing my faith
And if I don't hurry I might be too late
Even with all of this darkness in my grave
[Verse 7]
I still can't help but shine
I can't help but shine
I still can't help but shine
And we can't help but shine
[Verse 8]
I can't help it
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I still can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
And we can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I can't help it
[Verse 9]
Raised in the ghetto
I promised my family told them
That I'm bout to take it a whole 'nother level
These **** that stay in my city
Be getting all cozy but I never settle
And I'm making my way to heaven
While all of my homies been facing the devil
And speak of the devil
That **** tryna get in my brain
So I roll my weed
To ease my mind a bit, mind a bit
Sometimes I pace myself
And take my time with it, time with it
Plus I be staying in track like a locomotive
And I'm planning to make it
So it doesn't matter if you never notice
A man in the making
And I close my eyes sometimes
And dive in a pool of my dreams
And I been search far and high and wide
Until I found my wings
You gotta be crazy If you say you fly as high as I do
As soon as I make it to the pearly gates
I'm praying that they gone open up
[Verse 10]
I still can't help but shine
I can't help but shine
I still can't help but shine
And we can't help but shine
[Verse 11]
I can't help it
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I still can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I still can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
And we can't help but shine
I'm shining, you see it, aye
I can't help it
