The song "Shining" by DJ Khaled featuring Beyonce and Jay-Z is an ode to the luxurious lifestyle that they have achieved through hard work and perseverance. The opening lines of the song - "Is isn't good enough" implies that they have strived for excellence and will stop at nothing to attain it. DJ Khaled mentions how he has worked his whole life for this one moment and Beyonce adds in that all of this winning has made her lose her mind - meaning that success has come at a cost of losing touch with reality.
The chorus speaks about their shiny and extravagant lifestyle, alluding to the fact that they have reached the pinnacle of success. They also talk about how money and material possessions do not necessarily bring happiness or make them fancy. Instead, they smile for a different reason. The song can be interpreted as a call to not let others bring you down and to keep pushing for success - not just for yourself, but also to inspire others.
