I'll Shine
Journey to Self-Discovery: King PhaRoar's 'I'll Shine' Story
Lyrics
Uh, steady on my grind making hist-ory
Expressing dedication to hard work and making history.
Gotta wake up feeling fresh like listerine
Desiring to start each day feeling refreshed, drawing a comparison to Listerine.
How you crept in my heart is a mys-tery
Reflecting on the mysterious way someone entered the speaker's heart.
I was posted with the guys like a G would
Describing being with friends, adopting a tough and confident attitude.
In the back room grippin on the backwoods
Being in a back room, possibly smoking cigars (backwoods) with friends.
Shawty came in dirty trying to give me the goods
A girl approached, seemingly offering intimacy while the speaker was recovering from a heartbreak.
I was fresh out of a heartbreak of course I would
Recalling a recent heartbreak, explaining vulnerability.
Get a drink have a seat lemme spit to you good
Inviting the girl to sit and share thoughts.
Couple months in we was growing kind of strong
Reflecting on the growing strength of a relationship over a few months.
Didn't know I had it good till I did it all wrong
Realizing the value of the relationship only after making mistakes.
Yeah it started with a lie then we never got along
Admitting that a lie initiated problems in the relationship.
But I'm pretty sure you'll get it by the end of the song, yeah
Anticipating that the listener will understand the story by the end of the song.
I hope that you find what you been missing
Expressing a wish for the listener to find what they are missing.
I hope that you heal with all this distance
Wishing healing for the listener despite the distance between them.
Cause I been workin on me a long time
Stating a commitment to self-improvement over a long period.
I can't stop now, it ain't my time
Asserting determination and a refusal to stop the self-improvement journey.
Taking steps all the way to my prime
Indicating progress towards reaching one's peak or prime.
Girl I'll shine
Expressing confidence that the speaker will shine in the end.
Maybe it was me, I couldn't tell
Considering the possibility that the speaker is at fault for the relationship's troubles.
You just walking out my life told me to go to hell
Describing a significant departure from the speaker's life with a harsh message.
I ain't tripping that much I know I did you wrong
Remaining calm despite acknowledging personal wrongdoing.
I know I lost myself, I know you knew it all along
Recognizing a loss of self and the partner's awareness of it.
You were always in my corner trying to fight for me
Acknowledging the partner's support in difficult times.
Started feeling caged in till you set me free
Feeling liberated after the partner ended the relationship.
I'm on a bigger path now, I know what's meant for me
Embracing a larger life path and understanding one's purpose.
I'm in a battle with me, searching for inner peace
Engaged in a personal struggle for inner peace.
I got my pen on freeze, steady feeling the breeze
Experiencing a creative block (pen on freeze) while feeling a sense of freedom.
I got my mind at ease, hope you find what you looking for I'm done with this
Achieving mental tranquility and expressing closure, wishing the listener well.
Done taking the risk
Deciding to avoid further risks in relationships.
Done feeling everything that got my mind all twisted I swear
Rejecting negative emotions and confusion, declaring a personal resolution.
I hope that you find what you been missing
Reiterating the hope that the listener finds what is missing in their life.
I hope that you heal with all this distance
Expressing a desire for the listener's healing despite physical distance.
Cause I been workin on me a long time
Emphasizing the ongoing commitment to self-improvement.
I can't stop now, it ain't my time
Affirming that it is not the time to stop the self-improvement journey.
Takin steps all the way to my prime
Continuing progress towards personal excellence or prime.
Girl I'll shine
Reassuring confidence that the speaker will ultimately shine.
