You get the short money
Me I want legacy

I
Big momma momma roots on a plantation
Sweat, blood, tears, and a whole lot of praying
Branches passed down all 7 generations
Trees dropping fast they don’t want vaccination
Need some, communication
About a thing called medication
Is you a doctor?
Are you a nurse?
Or you the patient?
What’s that we saying?
We don’t like the corporations
But who you paying on the internet for information?
Up all night we reading bout a dissertation
But it’s a fact that we ain’t read the dissertation
Observation
We so confident in what we saying
Then why we running to the doctor when they get to spraying
Maybe I’m basic but the nurses that we call for saving,
Those the same folks we round here claiming work with satan
Well ok then, go get your custom ventilation
Mind replaying, flashback of this conversation

You get the short money
Me I want legacy
Every breath i breathe is a chance for a better me
I lost too many folk, that don’t really feel right
Candle in the wind, watch it burn on a still night

Shine a light, For my people (for my people for my people)
Shine a light,
Shine a light, Help me People (help my people help my people )
Shine a light
Shine a Light, Won’t my People (won’t my people won’t my people)
Shine a light
All my people shine
All my people shine

II
I shine a light for my people we lost in the fight
I lost a life and a life and another life
My life ain’t feeling right
Clouds I can’t see the sky
I couldn’t see they face, no I couldn’t say goodbye
Why would you try to provide me another lie?
You say don’t trust man
Who put the fire In your ride?
Workers out here on they job
Coffee, pills, prayers to God
How come everything to keep us living got to be so hard?
Long days, loud pains, nothing but a bill due
No insurance but they posting bout a treatment healing you
What was the outcome?
How did they detect that?
If You can’t see paperwork, why would you respect that?
Why would you select that?
Cause it ain’t a debt trap?
That’s how people fall in gaps
Feening for some get back
Then evading vax as an act of resistance
But how are you resisting, if you missing?
(Do you get it?)

Shine a light For my people (for my people for my people)
Shine a light,
Shine a light, Help me People (help my people help my people )
Shine a light
Shine a Light, Won’t my People (won’t my people won’t my people)
Shine a light
All my people shine
All my people shine

I’m living flagrant
Melinated vaccinated
I know you hate it
My life I do appreciate it
We at the bottom
While all the top stars race their spaceships
It’s only right we brought the bars we in the basement
Maybe we change
Or maybe this our closing statement
Remember names
Remember vibes those are sacred
Heal in time
It’s gon take longer than a playlist
Together shine
You shine, I shine
That’s how we make it

Shine a light
Shine a Light, Won’t my People (won’t my people won’t my people)
Shine a light
All my people shine
All my people shine

Shout out to the workers
To the nurses
To the doctors
To the caretakers
The food makers
The entertainers
The room shakers
The educators
The money makers
