Welcome to the laboratory, another tragic story The new Barry Gordy and I’m chillin’ with a pair of shorties Rappers boring, got me snoring, now I’m wakin’ up Party people in the place, better get your hands up I brought the mic, I rock it right, it’s like I’m Pac but white I’m not the wakka flakka type, we’re here to stop the fight Create like Michelangelo, Beethoven and Mozart A symphony with timpanis, simply all I know’s art When the flow starts, no closed hearts, you old farts Got no spark, I’m Tony Starks on phony sharks With a cape I fly to vaporize, the haters try To bring me down ‘til the king is crowned to stabilize the kingdom now Underground ready to hit ‘em and get ‘em up out their seat We’re livin’ the life and givin’ advice on how to rock a beat Microphone master, malevolent pastor I’m a manic, a menace with a monologue, a spell caster Man, I’m smackin’ mannequins for not mannin’ up I’m eatin’ manna by the handful with a band getting’ crunk (what?) No melancholy do an olly on the scene y’all These rappers stuck in the 80’s like Molly Ringwald With Schwarzenegger doin’ important favors through politickin’ We always rippin’, so bullheaded, they call me Pippin I don’t need 20 rappers packed on a stage I’m a jack of all trades when I rap from the page CHORUS If you’re lookin’ for the purest, then you know who to find, know I’m “Shinin’!” If you’re looking for the purest then you know where to find the shinin’ “Shinin’!” Master of fittin’ my vision and wisdom in rhythm and rhyme, know I’m “Shinin’!” We give ‘em the rhythm, we give ‘em the rhyme, we’re shinin’ And we’re sure to shine with the purest rhymes I walk into the party with a bourbon on ice Permanent white suburbanite, how can he serve it so nice? Mergin’ his first of rights with the mics and top it with beats Walkin’ the streets and exercisin’ on my freedom to preach ‘Cause every time I speak my mind, I’m minin’ diamonds, get behind him Yo he “Shinin’!” Blind ‘em all With my resolve and quality, I stand tall And got the gall to brawl and make another man fall DVS the 20-year veteran, varsity letterman Set ‘em in motion, get ‘em in the right position to be better than The best, my tribe’ll quest for the vibe of live and direct My arrival rival libelous sects, title professor Whatever blessin’s in sessions I’m-a represent real Beliefs are grounded, so I feel what I know and know what I feel Sealin’ deals with my creator ‘stead of devils on Earth Thirst for knowledge, solid since I never followed the cursed Burst the seams, me and Z more than a feasible team Easily breezin’ by evil eyes reclined with a lean Beyond the teens in magazines, snag the kings and the queens Gasoline is on the fire, so we start the machines Leave the fiends behind to fight over the gold and the green I’m moldin’ poets to soldiers, lowest’ll go to extremes And rhymes’ll scheme upon the wicked ‘cross the people and scenes Freezin’ space and time in darkness, yo I shine the high beams CHORUS Amadeus, I’m a rock ‘em, they outdated we outshine Dig in the crates, pick up my tape, it’s about time So perfectly perfected, we wreck it and check it never die Forever shine And my wish is the vicious would ditch its malicious traditions Suspicious and itch is ambitious to switch up the pictures and riches Scriptures are more nutritious, but I ain’t superstitious Man, I walk through Guyana sayin’, “That Kool Aid’s delicious!” Redefinin’ and climbin’ the charts, combinin’ with rhymin’ this art Collabin’ and jabbin’ they heart, they braggin’ but lackin’ the part Shinin’ like polished diamonds, demolishin’ laymen, I’m findin’ We almost famous, don’t blame us when they call us entertainers I caught ‘em connivin’ to try slidin’ inside the cypher disguised Then supplyin’ replies derived from the misguided and lies So when Hybrid and I decide to fry your eyelids and pride You see it shines brightest underground, defy ‘til we die CHORUS
