Shine Songtext
von Robert Glasper

I can feel the love in here
My inner space got constellations
And all those inner conversations
They help me to shine, shine
(Shine) shine
They help me to shine (shine)
So (shine) shine
They help me to shine

Picture the world after the wilder-
Ness no longer exist, picture me with no filter
Picture we see the rainbow as evidence that storm
Was only meant to wash away the hurt, certainly not destroy

Picture divine vines growing on side-abandoned buildings
Picture choosing the road less traveled, abandon millions
Picture standing on top of hills and projecting your brilliance
Picture we started old and slowly became more like children
Picture me as the tadpole, started off as a frog
Picture me as the channel that started off as a blog


Picture me as the whisper that started off as a yell
Picture only offering heaven although they give you hell, like
Picture that, scripture that
Picture that brilliant sister from Sister Act
That gave us the miseducation, found those who missed the map
And gave ′em hope, just one more 'genn, pictured a extra lap
That′s love

I can feel the love in here, yes, I can, yeah
My inner space got constellations
And all those inner conversations
They help me to shine, yeah (shine) ooh
(Shine, shine), shine
They help me to shine (that's what we're gonna do) yes, we are (shine), oh
(Let′s) shine, shine (let′s go again)
They help me to shine

Picture me flying over the city
Picture me with a beauty whose soul is equally pretty
Picture me with a ruby that's redder than cherry stems
Picture me with a choir full of hers that′s singing hymns

Picture having action at calefaction, we heating up
Picture even with your voice trembling speaking up
Picture dropping the ladder for all of those reaching up
Picture every time we searching for answers we seeking up
Picture every finger pointed conjoining to form a fist
Picture every time you pray that heaven gladly forms a list


Picture baddy carrying Jamaican patties blowing kisses
Picture gravity wasn't a factor, now picture me lifted
Picture skies, picture trees
Picture too many flowers, too many leaves
Picture you and me for hours doing whatever we please
Picture giving self-love deeper than seas, preach

I can feel the love in here and it feels so, oh
My inner space got constellations, ooh (yeah)
And all those inner conversations (you gotta talk to yourself lik you′re in love)
They help me to shine, hold yourself a little time (shine, I saw you shine), ooh
Shine, shine (don't forget to shine) yeah
They help me to shine (but they get shined out, shine) I make my mama proud
(Shine) shine
They help me to shine (yeah)

Picture me bright, picture me glowing (yeah)
Picture my intuition guiding me, picture me knowing (knowing)
Picture me dripping, picture me giving, picture me showing
Picture me 96ing dipping, now picture me rolling (ah)

Picture me in a low-low, switches and bending corners
Picture me in a white T riding through California
Picture with a queen that′s playing her violin
Picture little kids looking at daddy like I am him
Picture dirty hands in soil planting greens to feed the future
Picture me so fresh, so clean, cleaner than loofahs

Picture teaching a class, divina la vida pura
Picture me as a doctor, I'm saying, "Tengo la cura"
Picture sipping natural herbs through tip of the hookah
Picture me living much better than great, I'm living super (dope)

(And then we just let it ride, like, right out) ooh
(Like that, right, like that, right? Right)
Shine

I can feel the love in here
My inner space got constellations
And all those inner conversations
They help me to shine

Shine, they help me to shine

And you′re worth it...
Sometimes...
And you′re worth it...
Sometimes
