What's up, party people?
This is your girl, Sharon Duval, on WTLC
Rockin' for the hard workin' folks
Just gettin' off of one gig and headed to another
But in this crazy Friday rush hour traffic
I got a jam that'll smooth you out and get you ready for the night
I'm about to split, but before I do, an instant classic
From none other than Maimouna Youssef
Dig the lyrics, Jack
She's droppin' some knowledge and makin' you feel good
A little inspiration from your favorite station
A groove to get you in the mood, some sounds for your get down
I know it's rough out there, y'all, the man's foot always on your neck
But don't worry about that sucker, just shine your light
And I'll catch you on the flip side
Keep on walkin' with your head held high (Shine your light)
Keep on talkin' like you heard it from the sky (Shine your light)
We ain't gonna let 'em bring us down (Shine your light)
You know we've come too far to give up now (Shine your light)
The chosen people bear the hardest load (Shine your light)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, you know (Shine your light)
Give Him thanks 'cause we got soul (Shine your light)
Baby, shake it off and let the good times roll
And let's party
Everybody come together
If only for one night
Forget the troubles of the world
Oh, and let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Good to shine your light (Shine your light, shine your light)
Hey, let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
It feels so good to shine your light
Shine your light, shine your light)
Child is born with no state of mind
Raised up in this ghetto life
Three strikes got daddy doin' time
Feels like he was born under a bad sign
Crโ Crโ Crโ Crusty cops shoot two kids right in the back
They raid my grandmama's house, she had a heart attack
And when black girls go missin', they never look for that
This ain't no way to live, but, shit, it's where we at
Always feelin' like we fallin' through some times (On some bad times)
So we're fallin' back and smilin', keep our heads up high
Oh, party
Just forget about the troubles of the world, ayy
Too much hard times to hurt your pride
The ones that you love don't ever do you right
So I keep on livin' with my head high (Shine your light)
Everywhere I go, I'm gonna shine my light (Shine your light)
I'ma stand on my feet if I have to die (Shine your light)
I'm not gon' live on my knees just to pacify (Shine your light)
People, don't you have no fear tonight (Shine your light)
God's children will promise everlasting life, yeah
People, come together
Forget about the troubles of the world
Just shake it off and let the good times
Roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Shake it off and let the good times roll
Shine your light, shine your light)
Ooh, let the good times roll, baby
Shine your light, shine your light)
Come on, let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Feels good to let the good times roll
Shine your light, shine your light)
Come on, let the good times roll (Shine your light, shine your light)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
