  • Are you ready?
    It's your girl Estelle
    This album's for my people
    Gonna be a struggle
    But ya know what
    Fuck it
    We're gonna have fun tonight
    You feel me?

    Oh this is my song
    I'm just like you
    I gotta fight to stay strong
    Just cause it clears
    It don't mean that it's over
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on

    [Chorus]
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on

    When the lights go down
    What you know about me?
    What you know
    Is what I choose to let you see
    But I'm from London
    Call me the Big Ben
    I grew up in west
    Specifically West Kendall
    Now let me slow it down
    A little bit so you can feel me
    Cause where I'm from there
    Wasn't shit to do
    No not really
    Who'da thought
    That it would happen
    This London chick start rappin'
    Now American boys are chattin'
    All about me with my wicked accent
    And yes I stays on my grind
    You go get yours I'll get mine
    Don't worry bout it
    I'm fine
    Cause I'm a shine
    Say it

    Oh this is my song
    I'm just like you
    I gotta fight to stay strong
    Just cause it clears
    It don't mean that it's over
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on

    [Chorus]

    Ya don't know
    What my hate is baby
    9 kids in the yard
    It was kinda crazy
    Still
    No kids thus far myself
    I'm scared of the pain
    I might not do well as a mom
    Still the work gets done
    Yes I worry bout bills
    But a change gonna come
    I wanna play rapper
    Rock the bells
    But I only gotta stack
    For the little Estelza
    You don't wanna know
    Bout them days that go
    I got pain overload
    You don't wanna know
    About the things I know
    I just can't take no more
    Most of the time
    Though I gotta stay on
    I gotta stay real
    I gotta stay strong
    You know I'm heavy
    Cause I roll with gem
    So I'm gonna be fresh
    When the lights come on
    Come on

    Oh this is my song
    I'm just like you
    I gotta fight to stay strong
    Just cause it clears
    It don't mean that it's over
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on

    [Chorus]

    Everybody's watching tonight
    It's my time
    While the lights on
    Everything I wanted is mine
    Imam shine

    Oh this is my song
    I'm just like you
    I gotta fight to stay strong
    Just cause it clears
    It don't mean that it's over
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on

    [Chorus]

    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    I'm a shine
    While my lights on Writer/s: DREW DIXON, ESTELLE SWARAY, JOHN STEPHENS, KASSEEM DEAN, TIFFANY GREEN
