Shine on Me
J. Louis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
They don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me fly!
Don't wanna see me ride!
They don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me fly!
Don't wanna see me ride!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
As long as I'm alive, no hater gonna never stop my drive!
I did it and make it multiply.
Anything else is suicide.
Enemy of the world ' that's I.
Energy of an eagle.
I see no evil and I hear no lie!
Niggas don't wanna see me fly higher than a rocket ship.
Life is not rocket science.
Every day is documented.
All of my time is occupied.
I'm gonna grind & I'm gonna shine!
Ballin' 'til the end of time.
Hate on me and it's all fine!
You just ain't no friend of mine.
I'm tryin' to focus on bigger and better things.
With so many odds against me, I had to step up my game!
Imagine problems with crooked coppers.
Why they wanna go there?
Try to pop me, lock me, but couldn't knock me off my square.
I'm not surprised, you haters wanted to see Flesh stretched out without one thug,
While I'm steady stressin' out
But we doin' our own thing ' the wrong thing.
You suckas fail every time tryin' to stop my shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
Stay away, fade away, playa hater! (I need you to)
Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
Twenty-four seven grindin'!
Tryin' to get my shine on.
That don't give 'em a reason to hate me, hate me, hate me!
But I know my mind's strong.
None of you suckas can break me! (Ha!)
Nothin' can save ya now!
They caught the Krayzie vapors!
Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
There's really no need to be crowdin' me,
'Cause I can't deal with you haters surroundin' me, houndin' me!
Tryin' to get my paper, hard to keep my faith up.
It's time for me to raise up, and do this sucker shake up.
True T-H-U-G's and we come to kill you, kill you, kill you!
I think they might be scared (might be scared) to let me shine 'cause I'm a righteous playa!
(I'm a righteous, righteous, righteous playa!)
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
See Me!
Stack your paper, they hate my grind.
Catch me!
Push that's why I got my swagga down.
Could never slip in the clip in.
I know they want my life.
Any weakness, not here, you know that Wish gonna ride! (ride)
Hit the streets with that, better love!
Watch out if you kiss and tell.
You know not to show 'em love.
It's just that they talk too much.
They never know who to trust.
And just when you get enough, a target ' you will become.
That's just the (?)
It's the devil's perpetuation!
Tryin' to make my innocence.
It's my retaliation, I don't need no ignorance.
I'm standing against this army with Bone Thugs-n-harmony, harmony.
Danger is just a part of me, like it's stuck in my arteries.
These poor playa-haters are the motivators.
But I get my paper, paper.
The same rappers that hated us bought the verses, so we can take from them.
Critics ' we can't escape from them.
Don't you drink too much Hennessey.
Ain't no time for to be slippin', we the world's worst enemy!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
They don't wanna see me shine, they don't wanna see me shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
They don't wanna see me shine, they don't wanna see me shine!
So many people said we wouldn't take it, so many people said we couldn't make it!
So I made up my mind!
Made it up with my pride
I just gotta know, I just need to know.
I just gotta know.
I just gotta know.
Why they wanna hate on me?
Why they wanna steal my shine?
Why they wanna hate on me?
Why they wanna steal my shine?
I just gotta know!
I just gotta know!
I just gotta know!
I just gotta know!
See me shine!
See me shine!
Oh see me shine!
Oh see me shine!
Yeah!
They don't wanna see me shine!
They don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me fly!
Don't wanna see me ride!
They don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me shine!
Don't wanna see me fly!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.
'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Fakin' on the side.
They don't wanna see me shine.

The lyrics to J. Louis's song "Shine on Me" express frustration and defiance in the face of people who envy and resent the singer's success. The repeated refrain emphasizes this point: "They don't wanna see me shine!/Don't wanna see me fly!/Don't wanna see me ride!" The lyrics also suggest that there are people who pretend to be friendly but secretly wish for the singer's failure. The lines "Smilin' in my face, fakin' on the side/They don't wanna see me shine" convey this idea. The song's message is one of resilience and determination. The singer declares that no matter how much others hate or doubt him, he will continue to work toward his goals and succeed. The final lines of the song sum up his attitude: "I just gotta know why they wanna hate on me/Why they wanna steal my shine/See me shine!"
Overall, "Shine on Me" is a song about rising above adversity and staying true to oneself. The lyrics touch on themes of jealousy, determination, and authenticity, and the chorus is particularly memorable for its catchy repetition. The song offers a message of hope and empowerment to anyone facing obstacles and doubters in their own life.

Yesterday's gone, lost in the past
Try to hung on but it's fading fast
Covered in love, covered in you
Can't say no to the things you do
Yesterday's gone, lost in the past
Try to hung on but it's fading fast
Covered in love, covered in you
Can't say no to the things you do
I love the feeling that you're giving me
It's making me better, I can't disagree
No where to run, no where to hide,
When you shine on me
I love the feeling you're giving me
It's making me better, I can't disagree
No where to run, no where to hide,
When you shine on me.
When you shine on me,
When you shine on me,
When you shine on me,
When you shine on me.
Yesterday's gone, lost in the past
Try to hung on but it's fading fast
Covered in love, covered in you
Can't say no to the things you do
Yesterday's gone, lost in the past
Try to hung on but it's fading fast
Covered in love, covered in you
Can't say no to things you do
Shine on me,
Shine on me,
Shine on me, (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh)
Shine on me, every day and every night
I love the feeling you're giving me
It's making me better, I can't desagree
No where to run, no where to hide,
When you shine on me
I love the feeling you're giving me
It's making me better, I can't desagree
No where to run, no where to hide,
When you shine on me
When you shine on me
When you shine on me
When you shine on me (shine on me)
When you shine on me, every day and every nigth

When I was a club promoter in London me and my team would leave the club around 6.30am on a Sunday morning, put the roof down on my convertible and this would always be on pirate radio flashback 99.3fm and everyone in the car would go mental car dancing through the streets of London. All Time Classic track - so positive and uplifting!!!! ❤❤❤❤
