Gambit - Shine

Freddy Finger rest in peace

It's the rapper that y'all ignored
Mind's eye on the prize and back to the drawing board
The type to bore a hole into your floor and top it
With a carpeted tarp and ask you exactly who you falling for
Went from drawing swords to drawing swords
Starting wars over notions emotion provoked tallying score
Rallying stallion troops and let the galleons soar
'Cause when it comes to enemies and friends it seems that less is more
Atop the crest of the crescent shore
Reflectively I stop to question what I'm destined for
At best my honorable guesses are the recipe
For mixing disappointment with bitterness, sip it, rest in peace
Exceptionally unexceptional
They tell me truly I'm unique but yet I'm skeptical
They say that life's an essay but never explained the thesis
So now I walk the line between atheist and a theist
Believe it, the odds are never even
Even when they seem to be, begin the cycle then repeat it
The high strung night bum wallowing in a Prius
Trying to follow Jesus through the bottle that he sleeps with
Nightmares turn into perfectly recurring dreams
As every vice that eases his mind becomes diseases
Are we even alive? Will we find out what it means
To know how cold it is in Heaven the moment when Hell freezes?
For every time that I'd awoke to the sirens
Provoked through the violence I'd have wished I'd broken the silence
Supposedly I should've known although I'm supplied with
Only a tiny glimpse of now through a vision that's hind-sighted
Blindsided by the solely divided
Hoping that I would go and die, although I won't kid, I've tried it
And when it's time to go I guess I won't really like it
But I can rest easy knowing that no one did it like I did

As the days turn to night-time
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline
Until there's nothing left and I'm out of my right mind
I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine
When the days turn night-time
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline
Until there's nothing left I'm out of my right mind
And I'ma fight, let the light shine

I ain't gon' waste time saying I ain't got time to waste
I can taste the victory swimming swiftly as tidal waves
'Till my entire empire can finally find its place
And light up like a campfire shining bright as the light of day
By the way, it's hard to work when it's time to play
But it never mattered, Jack's a boring bastard either way
I've been in the same place lying wide awake
My entire life so don't mind it if I ain't tryna stay
Stagnation is the greatest way to drag patience
Kicking and pacing complacently back to your dad's basement
After the fact when you're mad at the path taken
You could pave the way for change to take place or act shaken
In the past I was one who preferred the latter
Going under like fuck laughter, making my luck badder
Stuck in the one assumption that nothing in life matters
Sick of chatter, thinking that my resistance might shatter
Ambivalent towards the imminent course of men
These porcelain dolls have been forcing us all into wars again
Distorted causes warped into folly tore the skin
Born into abhorrence and horror herded by hoards of them
Horse drawn hearses, long gone purses
Goods lifted by crooks suffering Norse god curses
Are all I ever saw upon the Earth's long surface
It hurts when you come to terms with having no broad purpose
It's perfect, picture me sitting in church
And worshipping fifty different versions of a single superlative thing
With a fervent new urge to sing and ringing determined
Think in turn that if I sink and burn the ship will resurface
But when I fill the urn I'll be beginning to learn
That there isn't a return and that my birth certificate's worthless
Indifferent to the furthest extent and a nervous surplus
Flipping scripts to pictures, leave a thousand listeners wordless

As the days turn to night-time
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline
Until there's nothing left and I'm out of my right mind
I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine
When the days turn night-time
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline
Until there's nothing left I'm out of my right mind
And I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine
So I don't waste time, I make time
Never wait to find my place, no I'ma take mine
Keeping the pace up, I'm braced to erase the fake lines
Make a new page, stage the plays and escape quiet
So I don't buy time, I find time
Laying my rhymes primetime 'till it's my time
The road is long and although I'm knowing it might wind
I'ma fight, let the light shine
