Shine on Me
N. Arnel de Pano Lyrics

They don't wanna see me shine!
Others envy my success and don't want me to succeed.

Don't wanna see me shine!
They don't want to witness me doing well in life.

Don't wanna see me fly!
They don't want to see me achieve success beyond their expectations.

Don't wanna see me ride!
They don't want to see me reach great heights.

Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Why do they have to have such negative feelings towards me?

Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
They continuously show jealousy towards me.

Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
Despite their dislike for me, they pretend to be friendly.

Fakin' on the side.
They are two-faced and pretend to be supportive while secretly hoping for my downfall.

They don't wanna see me shine.
Others are envious and don't want me to do well.

'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
They are so envious that they don't want to see me succeed at all.

As long as I'm alive, no hater gonna never stop my drive!
Despite their negativity, I will not give up on striving for success.

I did it and make it multiply.
I have achieved success and am continuing to grow it.

Anything else is suicide.
Stopping my drive for success and giving in to negativity would lead to failure.

Enemy of the world ' that's I.
I am the enemy of the world because I am a successful person who others envy.

Energy of an eagle.
I have the energy and drive to succeed, just like an eagle.

I see no evil and I hear no lie!
I refuse to focus on negativity and lies.

N****s don't wanna see me fly higher than a rocket ship.
Others don't want me to reach heights greater than they could ever imagine.

Life is not rocket science.
Life is not difficult to figure out.

Every day is documented.
Every moment of my life is important and should be documented.

All of my time is occupied.
I am always busy and focused on success.

I'm gonna grind & I'm gonna shine!
I will work hard every day in order to ensure success.

Ballin' 'til the end of time.
I will continue to be successful for the remainder of my life.

Hate on me and it's all fine!
Others can hate on me, but it won't affect my success.

You just ain't no friend of mine.
Those who are jealous and negative towards me cannot be my friends.

I'm tryin' to focus on bigger and better things.
My focus is on achieving more success and greater things.

With so many odds against me, I had to step up my game!
Despite facing many obstacles, I had to work harder and become better in order to succeed.

Imagine problems with crooked coppers.
I face problems with corrupt police officers.

Why they wanna go there?
Why do they have to bring negativity and problems into my life?

Try to pop me, lock me, but couldn't knock me off my square.
Others tried to harm me and prevent my success, but they couldn't stop me.

I'm not surprised, you haters wanted to see Flesh stretched out without one thug,
Those who envy me and wish for me to fail would love to see me dead.

While I'm steady stressin' out
Despite their negativity, I am still focused on success and striving towards my goals.

But we doin' our own thing ' the wrong thing.
Others may believe that we are doing something wrong, but we are still achieving success.

You suckas fail every time tryin' to stop my shine!
Those who are jealous and negative towards my success will never succeed in stopping me.

Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
Those who hate on my success should remove themselves from my life.

Twenty-four seven grindin'!
I am always working hard and focused on success.

Tryin' to get my shine on.
I am working towards success and achieving greatness.

That don't give 'em a reason to hate me, hate me, hate me!
My focus on success shouldn't be a reason for others to hate me.

But I know my mind's strong.
I have the mental strength to face negativity and still achieve success.

None of you suckas can break me! (Ha!)
Others cannot break me or negatively affect my strive for success.

Nothin' can save ya now!
Those who are negative towards me cannot be saved from their own jealousy and hate.

They caught the Krayzie vapors!
Those who are negative towards me are caught up in their own negativity.

There's really no need to be crowdin' me,
There is no need for others to be constantly negative and surround me.

'Cause I can't deal with you haters surroundin' me, houndin' me!
I cannot handle the negativity of others surrounding me and trying to bring me down.

Tryin' to get my paper, hard to keep my faith up.
Although I am focused on success, it is difficult to keep my faith up with so much negativity surrounding me.

It's time for me to raise up, and do this sucker shake up.
I will overcome the negativity and frustration and strive towards greater success.

True T-H-U-G's and we come to kill you, kill you, kill you!
We are true thugs and will work hard enough to overcome and defeat those who are negative towards us.

I think they might be scared (might be scared) to let me shine 'cause I'm a righteous playa!
Others may be scared to see me succeed and shine because they know I am a good person and deserving of success.

(I'm a righteous, righteous, righteous playa!)
I am a good person and deserving of success.

See Me!
Witness my success and hard work.

Stack your paper, they hate my grind.
I am hated by others for my focus on success and hard work.

Catch me!
Follow my success and hard work.

Push that's why I got my swagga down.
I am successful and confident in myself due to my hard work and success.

Could never slip in the clip in.
I will never fall or fail in my success.

I know they want my life.
Others may wish harm upon me and my success.

Any weakness, not here, you know that Wish gonna ride! (ride)
There is no weakness or failure in my success, and I will continue to strive towards greatness.

Hit the streets with that, better love!
I am successful and loved by those in my community.

Watch out if you kiss and tell.
Be careful of sharing information about my success or failures.

You know not to show 'em love.
Don't show love or attention to those who are negative towards me.

It's just that they talk too much.
Those who are negative towards my success talk too much.

They never know who to trust.
Those who are negative towards me cannot be trusted.

And just when you get enough, a target ' you will become.
Once you have achieved enough success, others will try to bring you down and target you.

That's just the (?)
This is just the way things are.

It's the devil's perpetuation!
Negativity and jealousy towards success is a devil's perpetuation.

Tryin' to make my innocence.
Those who are negative towards me are attempting to paint me in a bad light.

It's my retaliation, I don't need no ignorance.
My success and retaliation against negativity does not require ignorance.

I'm standing against this army with Bone Thugs-n-harmony, harmony.
I am standing up to those who are negative towards me with the support of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

Danger is just a part of me, like it's stuck in my arteries.
Danger and the fight against adversity is a part of me and cannot be avoided.

These poor playa-haters are the motivators.
Those who are negative towards me in their poverty and failure are my motivators.

But I get my paper, paper.
Despite their negativity, I am focused on success and achieving wealth.

The same rappers that hated us bought the verses, so we can take from them.
Those who hated on Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are now buying their music and giving them success.

Critics ' we can't escape from them.
Critics will always exist, but I am determined to succeed despite their negativity.

Don't you drink too much Hennessey.
Don't get too caught up in one's own success and forget self-care.

Ain't no time for to be slippin', we the world's worst enemy!
There is no time for failure or weakness and we will triumph over negativity and adversity.

They don't wanna see me shine, they don't wanna see me shine!
Others are envious and negative towards my success.

So many people said we wouldn't take it, so many people said we couldn't make it!
So many people doubted our success and achievement.

So I made up my mind!
I made the decision to strive towards success despite the negativity.

Made it up with my pride
My pride in myself and my potential for success motivated me to strive towards it.

I just gotta know, I just need to know.
I need to know why others are negative towards my success.

I just gotta know.
I am determined to find out why others are negative towards my success.
