Shine On from Endless Recess by Grossman

“WE SHOULD SHINE A LIGHT ON, A LIGHT ON…”
Cuz if we don’t then we’re stuck in the dark.
No hope, nor light, nothing to spark.

“THE BOOK I WRITE ON, WRITE ON, IT WAS RIGHT-ON…”
It’s what I write in, every night when, I see that the world’s seams coming apart.

“WE SHOULD SHINE A LIGHT ON, A LIGHT ON…”
Yeah Let’s push from the past, never looking back so this world that we have doesn’t fade to black.

“THE BOOK I WRITE ON, WRITE ON, IT WAS RIGHT-ON…”
But never read, by anybody instead. It was thrown to the side and never brought up again…

Verse:
Yeah we should but we won’t, ‘cause we like to be blind ye we don’t wanna know what we’re likely to find.

To find time that we had we don’t have cuz we wasted it.
And made it shit, I’m sick of rhymes when they pasted.
Dimes when they aint piff and women that fake it.
And people that dish it, but still can’t take it…

There’s a lot of things I’m sick of, the biggest is drunk hiccups.
Until I hit the age that I’m not getting my dick up.
Then that’ll be the biggest. Not my dick but what I’m sick of.
The hindrance of impotence but that just seems to fit us. Don’t it?

Our own opponents are us. The way we live it.
Until we hit the moment of trust & decide to pivot.
So Which is it?

To push for war, or forward?
Ahead is where I’m headed & progression’s what I’m more for…

If we sit ‘em down & talk, and just make ‘em start to write songs.
Teach ‘em how to beat the decision to start to right wrongs.
Get em in the spotlight. Flash ‘em wit a Nikon.
Ye cuz you would be surprised what you could capture with the lights on.

Cuz with the lights on, you can see the flaws, and the cons of a man that has nothing but wants.
And the flaunts of the women living efficient with shame.
Cuz with the lights on, we can be the difference of change.

Nahmsayin?

WE SHOULD SHINE A LIGHT ON, A LIGHT ON…

THE BOOK I WRITE ON, WRITE ON, IT WAS RIGHT-ON…

WE SHOULD SHINE A LIGHT ON, A LIGHT ON…

THE BOOK I WRITE ON, WRITE ON, IT WAS RIGHT-ON…

But never read, by anybody instead. It was thrown to the side and never brought up again…
