"Make My Own Shine"

“Make My Own Shine”



I put it on me
Put it, put it, put it on me
Yeah, I put down every last dollar and every cent on me
Every last dollar and every cent on me

Yeah, I put it on the line
Got all of the money on slot number nine 
I’m pulling all of the stops to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine
Yeah, to make my own shine
Willing to do whatever to make it all mine
Yeah, to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine

Hooped out, and walked up in the casino.
I ain’t got much money, but I kept that on the d-low.
Pokerface on strong and I don the tuxedo.
And my swag on 100 like I’m Dan Marino.
I got a pep in my step, and it’s keeping the tempo.
I’m trying to hit the lotto and replace them zeros,
Rack up the commas and get more of them zeros.
But if I lose it all I can’t make a scene, though.
I’m in the home of the sharks, swimming as a minnow.
But that’s the norm when you down low and come from the ghetto.
Just keep it pushing and just keep it yellow and mellow.
Cuz’ when it’s over, we'll get to the end of the rainbow


Yeah, I put it on the line
Got all of the money on slot number nine 
I’m pulling all of the stops to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine
Yeah, to make my own shine
Willing to do whatever to make it all mine
Yeah, to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine

Ain’t that something?
That little boy that came from nothing,
Just won the jackpot, now he got the world here buzzing.
All he said was it took time to get adjusting.
I guess they all know now that he wasn’t bluffing.
This was the one that they that they gave all of the cussing.
This was the nice lil’ fool they gave all of the fronting.
This was the simp that they gave all of the punching,
And the soft, lil’ lamb that they went out for hunting.
Now this the friend they come to for the helping.
The same dude that they ended up just trusting.
The Day-1 they come to when they was struggling.
And the nice, young boss that they need for covering.


Yeah, I put it on the line
Got all of the money on slot number nine 
I’m pulling all of the stops to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine
Yeah, to make my own shine
Willing to do whatever to make it all mine
Yeah, to make it all mine
Willing to do whatever to make my own shine
