Shine Through The Shade

[Intro]
Yeah, they hate but I levitate
Stack my paper, elevate
Black excellence, can't debate
Watch me demonstrate

[Verse 1]
Born a king, they can't stand to see me winning
From the bottom now I'm spinning, grinning
Black excellence got them feeling bitter
But I'm too busy climbing, getting bigger
Started with nothing, now I own businesses
Critics stay mad at my resilience
Built an empire while they was sleeping
Now they wanna know the secrets I'm keeping
Melanated boss, yeah I'm glowing different
Every move I make, they say it's significant
Try to bring me down but I keep resisting
My greatness speaks, they just keep witnessing

[Chorus]
They throw shade but I still shine (shine)
Black excellence all the time (time)
Can't dim my light, watch me climb (climb)
Success runs through my bloodline (line)
Haters hate but I still grind (grind)
My empire's one of a kind (kind)
They can't stop what's meant to be mine
I'm too blessed, yeah I'm too fine

[Verse 2]
Bank account looking like phone numbers
While they talk, I make moves in the summer
Black man winning, yeah that's thunder
Breaking stereotypes, making them wonder
How I did it? Stay independent
My success story got no limits
Generation wealth, I'm building legacies
While they plotting, I'm making strategies
Self-made boss, no apologies
Breaking barriers historically
Black excellence is my policy
Success running through my arteries

[Bridge]
They say success is the best revenge
So I keep winning, make them all repent
Can't stop won't stop, I transcend
Every obstacle, every pretend friend

[Verse 3]
Look at me now, mansion in the hills
Portfolio diverse, multiple skills
Black excellence, yeah that's the deal
Everything I touch turns real
Started from the mud, now I'm pristine
Living out dreams they couldn't imagine or foresee
Built my empire brick by brick
Now they study my moves like it's arithmetic
Legacy so strong it can't be broken
Every word I speak is like a token
Of success that can't be stolen
Story of triumph stays unfolded

[Chorus]
They throw shade but I still shine (shine)
Black excellence all the time (time)
Can't dim my light, watch me climb (climb)
Success runs through my bloodline (line)
Haters hate but I still grind (grind)
My empire's one of a kind (kind)
They can't stop what's meant to be mine
I'm too blessed, yeah I'm too fine

[Outro]
Yeah, black excellence
That's my essence
No questions
Just blessings
Watch me shine
All the time
Stay grinding
Keep climbing
(Fade out)
