Hook
Take my money
Waste my time
Shoot yo shot
Wonβt Kill my pride
It is what it is
Just how it go
Wonβt say much
But I tell you what I know
Canβt take my shine
Dusty verse
1 2 skip a few 99 a million
Made a butt load my bank account Brazilian
Feeling like Iβm Ford tough
Despite dealing w these problems
Stay Dressed on some double 0
Game so incredible
Dick so bomb I keep several
In my back seat got haters staring hella cold
Because they baby momma in my telephone
Team like a whirlwind better tuck ya girlfriend
We living every moment like the world ending
My life is exactly how I portray it
You can never downplay it
I donβt do beef unless I gourmet it
Gold choker on my neck like Iβm confined
I keep a thing on my hip case u boys try it
you can Keep ya two sense cause I wonβt buy it
I got that derby drip Louisville lip and I keep shining
Hook
Clay verse
Chugq lug double up this jar on fire
If we can drink it all then this bar gone dry
Come on in turn it up ima start on mine
Boy you spinning them wheels makes it hard on tires
Ima get right to it with the bang bang boogie
Ima show you how to do it for you chain gang rookies
Letβs get turned up til we see the sun rise
If the lord willing then the creek donβt rise and
If We can get back and we gone ride all night
And back to the fact that itβs gone be all right
Kicking them back cruising through the tall pines
Shining them racks 8 points all mine
Dirt rock in the spot with the boom box blaring
Pretty little thing with the tube top staring
If you got the gold you can come on round me
But ima stay it slow blown in humbold county
Hook
Rooster verse
Boy shine like a set of 22s on the asphalt
Princess lookin all smooth reca reca 19
Bout to pick up 5 dimes
Bout to meet her at the party to the liquor store line
Say she wanna do some wild shit to the club scene
Take her where the dirt roads long and the mudds deep
Prolly shouldβve told them it didnβt have a Wench
We wind up stuck hey thatβs why I brought a tent
Baby girl Iβm just a dog white tail chaser but I will take a hog nah
Ima head on up to the pub
And double up on anything until I catch me a buzz
Another night with a bang bang hate is what your doing
You canβt tell me a damn thing bout what Iβm pursuing
We the coolest motherfuckers on your radio
Haters gotta slap me on the back and say way to go
Hook
The Lacs' song "Can't Take My Shine" is a perfect representation of their country-rap genre blended with hip-hop beats. The song starts with its hook, which portrays a message of confidence, independence, and pride, which means a lot to the artists. They believe in staying true to themselves and their talents, and they won't let anyone or anything diminish their "shine." Dusty, Clay, and Rooster each deliver their verses, discussing their lives, accomplishments, and aspirations. They demonstrate that they have worked hard for their success and not afraid to flaunt it.
Dusty's verse is all about his success and how he is enjoying it to the fullest. Everything in his life is shining, and he doesn't care for negativity. He proudly flaunts his success and his gold choker. Clay's verse tells us about his love for drinking and partying, and he is willing to celebrate it with others, including the "chain gang rookies." Rooster's verse talks about the good time he has been having with his girlfriend, partying and travelling. They choose to spend time with their kind and not give any heed to people who hate.
