Cuz if you got a problem with the way I shine
Well your problem, that ain't mine
(Oh, Yeah)
Cuz I don't care if You don't like the way I dress
Or the fact that I always impress
(Oh, Yeah)
Shine bright, don't give a fuck
Trippin' while you watch me run (Ayy Ayy Ayy Ayy)
You wish that you had this
Well darlin' I don't give a shit
Learn to fuckin' handle it
(Ayy Ayy Ayy Ayy)
I'm gonna shine bright like the sun, won't dim my light for no one
Don't care, if it's too much for you
Cuz if you got a problem, wear shades don't wanna hear you complain
Sounds like a you problem babe
Cuz you know real queens they try to fix each other's crowns
They don't try to knock 'em down (Oh, Yeah)
But clearly you (Don't see the truth)
You just see (What you want to)
Don't you got (better shit to do) (Oh Oh Oh Yeah)
Back up, not far enough (Not far enough)
Shine bright, don't give a fuck (Don't give a fuck)
Trippin' while you watch me run
(Ayy Ayy Ayy Ayy)
You wish that you had this (I know you do)
Well darlin' I don't give a shit (No I don't)
Learn to fuckin' handle it
(Ayy Ayy Ayy Ayy)
I'm gonna shine bright like the sun, won't dim my light for no one
Don't care, if it's too much for you
Cuz if you got a problem, wear shades don't wanna hear you complain
Sounds like a you problem babe
Know it makes you better 'bout yourself talkin' shit (Talkin' shit!)
Kind of sad you got to push down someone else
To feel big (To feel big!)
I'm gonna shine bright like the sun, won't dim my light for no one
Don't care, if it's too much for you
(Yeah, and fuck off)
