We were made in imagine but we mold
Open up your eyes or be led wit' the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark yea

I put my faith in god and can you believe
I overcame all that was pressuring me
Stuck deep inside of the belly, the beast
I still knew who I was, who I wanted to be
Sayin the least
I'ma just keep it a rack
We been to hell and back, seeing light in tunnel
Hoping it don't fade to black
When you up against the odds
Could be hard believin' you could make it this far
But when you see potential then you start to raise the bar
Though the people in your life will have affect on who you are
Adding shuffle to your cards
You better watch who you fuck with, some'll ride wit'chu
And some'll see it a field trip, real shit
Uh, and finding me was do or die
Even though I can't swim, still I went against the tide
And the waves in the ocean so I could free my mind
Just a bit everyday and a day at a time

We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine

On your downfall so many that may be wishin'
They aint gotta block your shine in order to blur vision
Just a few distractions to take your eyes off the mission
One of many reasons some of my niggas end up in prison
Listen, similar roads we done been on
Pourin out the bottle for brothers we knew that been gone
So what you end up doin' life, will all depend on
If you wanna end up an achilles or agamemnon
Uh, in the place that we at
Your peace of mind they gon' try to take some of that
Come to face with the facts uh,
Only god knows
Whats in your heart you can see it with your eyes closed
Treasure it and you'll see that its all gold
Not meant to be corrected like a typo
Hit the gas on'em now I'm pressin on the nitro
Cuz I will never let the time go by

We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine

This is for your anatomy, this is for self mastery
This for the ones who back is where they been puttin' the battery
This be for those who dealt with the pain and all of the agony
This be for those who wanna fly regardless of gravity
This is for our humanity, this is for our morality
This is for those who broke the shackles off their mentality
This is for those who do all they can to change their reality
Keepin' up maintenance on their sanity
I just wanna see you
Shine, shine, shine
All my people
Shine, shine, shine
Cuz we all gotta
Shine, shine, shine
My brothers and my sisters if you hear me and you feel this
I just wanna see you
Shine, shine, shine
All my people
Shine, shine, shine
Cuz we all gotta
Shine, shine, shine
My brothers and my sisters if you hear me and you feel this
I just wanna see you

We were made in image but we mold our design
Open up your eyes or be lead with the blind
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
The clock stay tickin' can't afford to waste time
To make it out the dark all you need to do is shine
