lyrics
VERSE I
They try to stop me from doin' it -
them evil spirits always tryin' to ruin it -
and question me as to why I'm still pursuin' it....
well, I guess to them it is foolishness.
But yo, I got goals and dreams -
beats for days Homie and the flows is clean.
I'm married to the boldest Queen and my squad -
men of God see the soldiers gleam!
And I don't chase money I chase the Kingdom so my soul is somethin' they can never take from me.
Too many seeds to plant, seeds to water -
fruit to bear, people to feed cuz they hungry.
So I gotta keep on flowin' -
Keep seeking the Lord so I can keep growin' -
stay in the Word so I can keep knowin' -
how to shine in dark times and keep on glowin' you know!
CHORUS:
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shinin'
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shine on!
VERSE II:
Charismatic, Christ addict, rap fanatic -
the movement's miraculous Baby it ain't magic.
So you can keep your hocus-pocus and your aim for a magnum opus I stay focused on -
feeding the homeless and reachin' the hopeless not, being the dopest this world is the loc'est so -
you better watch your step, alt right means watch your left, chem trails mean watch your breath.
Conspiracy this, conspiracy that; -
this is not conspiracy rap -
it's meant to hit you where your spirit is at -
so I rip thru the track and use the boom bap to hit you wit' facts.
Yeah I'm fat, handsome, all of that and some -
child of God plus I'm Bishop J.V.'s grandson.
With complete reverence for the Lord's presence -
Big Joe E. Blessed Baby outta Seat Pleasant!
CHORUS:
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shinin'
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shine on!
VERSE III:
They always said it was a matter of time, thought my flow was just a matter of rhyme - nah...
it's more like a matter of shine -
I gotta let this little light of mine -
go forth and proceed to feed 'em what they may have been needin' -
whole time I'm interceding - meaning I'm fasting, praying laying on my face and asking the Lord to keep 'em in a secret place -
the Gospel of peace on their feet to keep 'em in the race so they'll see what's real when it's staring 'em in the face -
the truth is, satan is ruthless; his aim is to steal, kill and destroy no matter who you is!
What you did in the past is forgiven as long as you give up your sins and give your life to the True and Living -
Creator of all things, the big and the small things and everything in between the King of all kings.
CHORUS:
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shinin'
Keep on shinin' -
In this dark world you gotta keep on...
Keep on shinin' -
shinin'
shine on!
