Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Mic check of the Gods, ****
Mic check of the Gods
[Verse 3]
(Yeah)
[Verse 4]
The Shining
Represents the light that's in the darkness
A diamond
Y'all **** ain't ready when I drop this
The timin'
Remarkable and in alignment
Anything is possible, I promise
[Verse 5]
(Yo)
[Verse 6]
I admit it, I was gone for a lil' minute
It's like I lost my glow, yo
My inner light was dimmin'
Now I got my mojo back
Joe don't know how to act
About to black out
I never back out
Unless we talkin' bringing gas out
And every show is packed out
We bringin' cats out from South Africa to Glasgow
I guess you could say I got this shit mapped out now
World domination by determination
This is mumble rap extermination
This is Godly interpellation
This is that, "Who ya top 5?" conversation
Type of rap that "Fuck a Grammy nomination"
Type of rap that "I'ma take 'em to my basement"
Bring it back 'cause when they come to leavin' mic's ablazin'
I'm adjacent to that **** Satan
That ain't for debating
No more time for wasting
[Verse 7]
Yo, yo, yo
[Verse 8]
The Shining
Represents the light that's in the darkness
A diamond
Y'all **** ain't ready when I drop this
The timing
Remarkable and in alignment
Anything is possible, I promise
[Verse 9]
Unstoppable, if it's divinely guided
I'm like Mahatma Gandhi meets Muhammad Ali
Trapped in a rapper's body
Another old soul, in every lifetime you find me
My angels who surround me
**** was frontin' now they all behind me
Funny story how I beat the odds so oddly
Funny how I dropped all these bombs so calmly
Funny how I never found this shit, it just found me
It just, yo, yo
The shinning
[Verse 10]
(Something's gonna happen in your life)
(That is going to affect everybody's life)
(For the good)
[Verse 11]
The Shining
Represents the light that's in the darkness
A diamond
Y'all **** ain't ready when I drop this
The timing
Remarkable and in alignment
[Verse 12]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
