I'm here for the shift. I'm here for the shine
I'm here for the glow up. Palms faced to the sky
Happy days, come and go. Palms faced to the sky
Hard days, come and go. Palms faced to that sky
Most days, wanna smoke into oblivion
Leave these lungs in suspense, for a million
Exhale braver than I was since the last time
Claim my own past, not to front on the front line
But, I'm scared of what tomorrow brings
Too young to admit it out-loud. Old enough to overthink
My hands are shaking. My body aches
My brother told me, "don't hold yourself in times like these"
That's what his brother told him
And now he won't let anybody hold him
I've seen the anger in many our brothers eyes
It's only a matter of time. Till' we all blow up
Make another violent decision
How many tears have we caused, cause we can't let our own out?
That's why someone needs to show up and show how
I swear there's another way
I'm here for the shift. (i'm here for the shift)
I'm here for the shine (i'm here for the shine)
I'm here for the glow up. Palms faced to the sky
Happy days, come and go. Palms faced to the sky (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Hard days, come and go. Palms faced to that sky
Fuck my fears and the time i've lost
What defines my life, is the time I got
I won't let the past hold me back, hold me chained
Hold myself, homie, through all this pain (ya)
Hold me close, homie (Hold me so)
Hold me tight, brotha (Hold me now)
Hold the whole me, homie, so close, you know me
I know we both need each other
I woke up, built, to stand, the day
To give, myself, the space, to fall, apart
Decay, dissolve, the change, is coming. I really feel it
I've held it in my palm
With these hands, I have turned it into armor
I have fought many a battle
Lost many a friend
Committed many a wrong
Dried many a pen
To celebrate, waking up, today, again
(Ya) I'm here for the shift. (i'm here for the shift)
I'm here for the shine (i'm here for the shine)
I'm here for the glow up (i'm here for the glow up)
Palms faced to the sky
Happy days, come and go. Palms faced to the sky
Hard days, come and go. Palms faced to that sky
I'm here for the shift. (i'm here for the shift)
I'm here for the shine (i'm here for the shine)
I'm here for the glow up. Palms faced to the sky
Happy days, come and go. Palms faced to the sky
Hard days, come and go. Palms faced to that sky
(Oh oh) Palms faced to the sky
(Oh ya ya) Palms faced to the sky
(Palms faced, palms faced, palms faced)
Palms up now
Palms up
Palms up
Palms up
