Shining Down (feat. Matthew Santos)

Look up in the sky

Look up in the sky

Look up in the sky

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn't around

That I left you alone

Well, look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I'm everywhere, everywhere

Shining down on you

Well, well, is that our little author?

Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered

Your attention put back on the flow like the department of water

Taken off of the dough like Little Walter, Chess

Yes, baby I'm Jerry Lawler

Rebel with a cause, outlaw with a lawyer

Judge, jury like Alou, rap name Lupe

But my daddy named me warrior, this is his memorial

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn't around

That I left you alone

Well, look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I'm everywhere, everywhere

Shining down on you

No, I ain't the nigga trying to get a liquor line

When I be scrippin' lines, want this petition sign

It says I'm sick of dyin', sick of this prison time

I really love my people, I'm sick of pimpin' mine

Now, if we Auto-Tune that shit

We can hear the songs from that opera-groomed fat bitch

Tellin' us not to pursue it, just to shoo it like a blacksmith

We're trapped, and movin' round in circles like it's Chapstick

And that's the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with

Well, wrap this around your head like the bandanas

Fabolous used to wrap his hats with, rather be in feds

Instead of National Geographics, well I'm not havin' it, no

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn't around

That I left you alone

Well, look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I'm everywhere, everywhere

Shining down on you

So I say hello and this is for the third time

To everybody out there who ain't never heard mine

And if you have then you know you ain't ever heard lyin'

Lu don't moo, no cowards, you only heard lines

Not a facade cherisher, I'd rather have the scars

I don't idolize America, I'm dancing with the stars

Uh huh, all of them, yeah they are too

You look up and you see us shining down on you

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn't around

That I left you alone

Well, look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I'm everywhere, everywhere

Shining down on you
