Can't Take My Shine

Hook

Take my money
Waste my time
Shoot yo shot
Won’t Kill my pride
Can’t take my shine
It is what it is
Just how it go
Won’t say much
But I tell you what I know
Can’t take my shine


Dusty verse

1 2 skip a few 99 a million
Made a butt load my bank account Brazilian
Feeling like I’m 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 don’t do beef unless I gourmet it
Gold choker on my neck like I’m confined
I keep a thing on my hip case u boys try it
you can Keep ya two sense cause I won’t 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
Let’s get turned up til we see the sun rise
If the lord willing then the creek don’t rise and
If We can get back and we gone ride all night
And back to the fact that it’s 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 should’ve told them it didn’t have a Wench
We wind up stuck hey that’s why I brought a tent
Baby girl I’m 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 can’t tell me a damn thing bout what I’m pursuing
We the coolest motherfuckers on your radio
Haters gotta slap me on the back and say way to go
