Shining Down (feat. Matthew Santos) (OST Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2010)
[Intro: Matthew Santos] Look up in the sky
[Hook: Matthew Santos] You thought I was down You thought I was gone Thought I wasn’t around You thought I left you alone But look up in the sky Just look up in the sky See that I’m everywhere, everywhere Shining down on you
[Verse 1] Well, well Is that our little author? Coming back, humming his hymns, a little altered Your attention, put back on the flow like the department of water Taking off with the dough, like Little Walter Chess, yes, baby I’m Jerry Lawler Rebel with a cause, outlaw with the lawyer Judge, jury, like a loop Rap name Lupe, but my daddy named me warrior This is his memorial, shoot
[Hook: Matthew Santos] You thought I was down You thought I was gone Thought I wasn’t around You thought I left you alone But look up in the sky Just look up in the sky See that I’m everywhere, everywhere Shining down on you
[Verse 2] No, I ain’t that nigga trying to get a liquor line When I be scripting lines, want this petition signed It says I’m sick of dying, sick of this prison time I really love my people, I’m sick of pimping mine Now if we Auto-Tune that shit We can hear the songs from that opera groomed fat bitch Telling us not to pursue it, just to shoe it like a blacksmith We’re trapped, and moving round in circles like it’s Chapstick And that’s the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with We’ll wrap this around your head like the bandanas Fabolous Used to wrap his hats with Rather be in FEDS instead of National Geographics Well, I’m not having it
[Hook: Matthew Santos] You thought I was down You thought I was gone Thought I wasn’t around You thought I left you alone But look up in the sky Just look up in the sky See that I’m everywhere, everywhere Shining down on you
[Verse 3] So, I say hello and this is for the third time To everybody out there who ain’t never heard mine And if you have, then you know you ain’t never heard lying Lu don’t move no cowards, you only heard lines Not a facade cherisher, I’d rather have the scars I don’t idolize America, I’m dancing with the stars Uh huh. All of them? Yea, they are, too You look up and you see us shining down on you
