Shine On Me
The Bones of J.R. Jones Lyrics

They don't wanna see me shine!
Other people do not want me to be successful and happy in my life.

Don't wanna see me shine!
They have a negative feeling towards my success and happiness.

Don't wanna see me fly!
They do not want to see me progress and soar in my life.

Don't wanna see me ride!
They do not want to see me have fun and enjoy life's journey.

Why they gotta hate? (Hate!)
Why do they have to feel so negatively towards me?

Steady hatin' mine! (Mine!)
They constantly dislike and disapprove of my success and happiness.

Smilin' in my face, (Face!)
They pretend to be my friend and mask their dislike for me.

Fakin' on the side.
They secretly express their negativity towards me.

'Cause they don't wanna, they don't wanna, they don't wanna see me shine!
People dislike my success and happiness enough to express this sentiment multiple times.

As long as I'm alive, no hater gonna never stop my drive!
I will continue to be motivated and driven to succeed, despite others' negative feelings towards me.

I did it and make it multiply.
I have achieved success and will continue to build upon it.

Anything else is suicide.
To settle for anything less than success would be detrimental to my well-being.

Enemy of the world ' that's I.
I am seen as an adversary by many people in the world.

Energy of an eagle.
I have the strength and power of an eagle.

I see no evil and I hear no lie!
I do not let others' negativity affect me and stay true to myself.

Niggas don't wanna see me fly higher than a rocket ship.
People do not want to see me achieve great success.

Life is not rocket science.
Life is not complicated or difficult to understand.

Every day is documented.
I am making progress and keeping track of my achievements every day.

All of my time is occupied.
I am focused and committed to my success.

I'm gonna grind & I'm gonna shine!
I will work hard and succeed in my goals and aspirations.

Ballin' 'til the end of time.
I will continue to be successful and enjoy life's journey until the end of my time.

Hate on me and it's all fine!
I am not affected by others' negativity towards me.

You just ain't no friend of mine.
People who are negative towards me are not considered my friends.

I'm tryin' to focus on bigger and better things.
I am aiming for larger and more significant accomplishments in my life.

With so many odds against me, I had to step up my game!
Despite challenges and difficulties in my life, I had to find ways to succeed.

Imagine problems with crooked coppers.
Think about the issues that arise with dishonest law enforcement officials.

Why they wanna go there?
Why do people want to be negative and cause problems?

Try to pop me, lock me, but couldn't knock me off my square.
People have tried to bring me down, but I remain resilient and continue on my path to success.

But we doin' our own thing ' the wrong thing.
We may be doing things differently than others, but that does not make it wrong.

You suckas fail every time tryin' to stop my shine!
Everyone who tries to bring me down fails every time because I remain successful and shine brightly.

Stay away, fade away, playa hater!
Those who hate and project negativity towards me should stay away and disappear from my life.

Twenty-four seven grindin'!
I work hard and remain committed to my goals and aspirations around the clock.

Tryin' to get my shine on.
I am working towards achieving success and shining brightly in my life.

That don't give 'em a reason to hate me, hate me, hate me!
Other people should not dislike me simply because I am achieving success in my life.

But I know my mind's strong.
Despite other people's negativity, I am confident and strong in my thoughts and beliefs.

None of you suckas can break me! (Ha!)
I am unbreakable and cannot be brought down by others' negativity.

Nothin' can save ya now!
Anyone who is trying to bring me down will ultimately fail and not be able to recover.

They caught the Krayzie vapors!
Other people are overwhelmed and intimidated by my success and achievement.

There's really no need to be crowdin' me,
People do not need to be negative towards me and try to bring me down.

'Cause I can't deal with you haters surroundin' me, houndin' me!
I cannot handle the negativity and pressure from those who try to bring me down.

It's time for me to raise up, and do this sucker shake up.
I will rise above the negativity and make a positive impact on those around me.

True T-H-U-G's and we come to kill you, kill you, kill you!
I am a true THUG (The Hate U Give) and I will overcome those who try to bring me down.

I think they might be scared (might be scared) to let me shine 'cause I'm a righteous playa!
Others may be hesitant to let me succeed and shine because I am a morally upstanding person.

(I'm a righteous, righteous, righteous playa!)
I am an honorable and just person who will succeed in life.

Stack your paper, they hate my grind.
Other people dislike my hard work and dedication to achieving success.

Catch me!
Others are trying to bring me down and 'catch' me in my mistakes.

Push that's why I got my swagga down.
I remain confident and composed despite others' negativity towards me.

Could never slip in the clip in.
I cannot be brought down and will continue to succeed in my life.

I know they want my life.
Others may want to bring harm or negativity to my life.

Any weakness, not here, you know that Wish gonna ride! (ride)
I will not show any weakness and will continue to be successful in life with my persistence and perseverance.

Hit the streets with that, better love!
I am taking my success to the streets and spreading positivity and love to others.

Watch out if you kiss and tell.
Be careful what you share with others, as it may be used against you in a negative way.

You know not to show 'em love.
Do not show love or kindness to those who try to bring you down.

It's just that they talk too much.
Others have negative things to say about me, but it is simply because they talk too much.

They never know who to trust.
Others are uncertain of who to put their trust in.

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

That's just the (?)
Unclear what the artist is saying in this line.

It's the devil's perpetuation!
Negativity and hate are perpetuated by the devil.

Tryin' to make my innocence.
Others may try to manipulate or make me appear guilty or bad in some way.

It's my retaliation, I don't need no ignorance.
I will not let others bring me down and will respond to negativity on my own terms with intelligence and positivity.

I'm standing against this army with Bone Thugs-n-harmony, harmony.
I am standing up against negativity and hate with the help and support of Bone Thugs-n-harmony.

Danger is just a part of me, like it's stuck in my arteries.
I am used to danger and challenges and accept them as a part of my life.

These poor playa-haters are the motivators.
The negativity from others actually motivates me to succeed and overcome challenges.

But I get my paper, paper.
Despite others' negativity, I am successful and make money.

The same rappers that hated us bought the verses, so we can take from them.
Even those who initially disliked me may eventually support and contribute to my success.

Critics ' we can't escape from them.
There will always be people who criticize and have negative things to say about me.

Don't you drink too much Hennessey.
Be careful not to indulge in negative behaviors or activities.

Ain't no time for to be slippin', we the world's worst enemy!
There is no time for mistakes or missteps, as we are our own worst enemy.

See me shine!
Witness my success and happiness.

Oh see me shine!
I will shine brightly for all to see, despite others' negativity.

Yeah!
Expression of excitement for success and positivity.
