Danny Brown - Shine Lyrics

Is it just me or do the instrumentals sound kinda like plants vs zombies music

So underrated...Best track off the album!

Madd pink floyd vibes at the end

absolute bop

amazing

This song literally helped me throgh some ruff shit. Cheers danny you really know the way with words

Why this video has dislikes?

Lyrics
19s, but I keep a plain though
Leather inside, dark-tinted window
Wood-grain wheel, tell me how you really feel
Ride past all the kids, yellin' out, "Bingo"
Talk a good game, Trey Wingo
Speak in code so nobody know the lingo
Life like a dice game, ain't no casino
Street life, contra, ain't no cheat code
Everyday on the line like a free throw
Shit weak, like the knees on D. Rose
I was taught, "Look out for your people"
Meet Heaven and you gotta know evil
Heart of a lion, eye of a eagle
Life a movie, but ain't no sequel
Switch lanes in that new thing
Got on that red line while I'm playing Flock of Seagulls
So no way we could ever be equal
In the hay stack, I was that needle
Hold it in, thinkin' no one will believe you
Lose it all in a second, like Me Too
The whole world is evil
Gun shots echo, never be peaceful
Smokin' diesel to forget it all
If I don't do nothin', I'ma ball

Ayy (ayy), gotta get what's mine
Ayy (ayy), before I lose my mind
Ayy (ayy), like I'm runnin' out of time
Ayy (ayy), shine light, man, shine (shine)

Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing that you used to)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing I can pass to walk alone)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (shinin' on myself, so)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing can break down the simple floor)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball

Ayy, gotta ball 'till you fall
Ain't a system of design, one strike take it all
Ayy, all it take, one call
Pray you lose it all, one second, all gone
Ayy, know you feelin' all alone
But who can you turn to when things gon' wrong?
Ayy, it's the plot all along
Push you down the wrong path, the statistics have shown
Everything that I known turned out to be lies
Found out when I was grown so I shed that light
On these dark undertones, had a nigga head gone
Why they buy the diamonds and the car with shiny chrome?
My fault, all alone in the scheme of it all
Play like a bong, had to stay strong
Got my head above water, had to keep movin' on
Had my head above water, had to keep movin' on

Ayy (ayy), gotta get what's mine
Ayy (ayy), before I lose my mind
Ayy (ayy), like I'm runnin' out of time
Ayy (ayy), shine light, man, shine (shine)

Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing that you used to)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing I can pass to walk alone)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (shinin' on myself, so)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball
Break down, lock down, run up on 'em all (nothing can break down the simple floor)
Down on the corner, if you see me, I'ma ball

The dream is realized, my heart skips a beat
I'm tyin' my feet, the baby can't sleep
Defeat the sun, reach, the furthest relax
The weed is uncertain, why men attacked
Facts is unlocked, dress is untied
Mind could explode, time to cut ties

This gives me the feeling like I'm listing to M|O|O|N

I love Danny one of my favorite songs

this song give me goosebumps wtf

This dude is hella-creative & outta this world artistically! So much originality in his work! Keep doin u Daniel, tha game needs u!

This song IS of danny's best, hands Down. Really dope :-P

Wow, this is terrible. collab opportunity scrambled-

This is an amazing album, beginning to end.... Thank You Mr. Brown. Hope to see you live in Portugal,

Ayyy we neighbours, I want to see him live too, I live in Spain

Who did this man hurt so many dislikes they must like drake

J Zilla nah they wanted frank ocean

"kept my head above water had to keep movin on/had my head above water had to keep movin on"


favorite line in the whole album, u can hear both his growing desperation and his determination, like he's repeating the lines as a mantra to keep himself sane

Speak in code so no one understand the lingo

This shit fire

The teacher and the student. Danny Torrance and Abra Stone anthem.

THIS IS INSANE!!!

IN THE HAYSTACK I WAS THAT NEED-OHL

Underratet

Excellent

Sounds like the perfect song to be playing on the menu screen for a Fight Night or UFC game.

Getting mad "25 Bucks" vibes.

*The best song of album! 🔥🔥🔥🔥*

That beat though

do the verses remind anyone else of in the end by linkin park?

The delivery of "everyday on the line like a free throw" is perfect

$hit weak like da knees on D Rose 🌹

"Shit weak like the knees on D Rose" 😭🤣 Cmon Danny he plays for the Pistons now lmaooo.

why so many dislikes?

Can we take a break on shots at D Rose's knees :(

Jesus the instrumental is my favorite part about this song. It’s so dope then at the end it turns into some crazy ringing shit. I can’t explain how fucking dope those sounds are! The man talking on top at the end is a nice touch. Production is an A+. The man singing is also dope mo.

Wishing it was longer 😭😭😭

Okay Danny. I know whatchu saying. I hear ya 💪

Blood orange sounds like DAMON ALBARN

Blood orange really underwhelming on this tbh

Wow really? I thought he was fantastic.

Shine, black man, shine.

Danny needs to keep that sound. This is awesome.

Opn vibes

One of my favs of the album it’s on repeat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

DocM OMG he’s so underrated and I’m glad he’s sober hope he stays that way. My top 5 off the album best life Combat Shine Dirty laundry change up theme song

Tania Marie Is he sober though? congrats if he is though, good choices! Combat is my shit!! 1 of the best tracks of the year, I'd love a whole album of Danny & Q-Tip over that type of prod! my top 5 is Combat, Savage Nomad, Negro Spiritual, Best Life & Theme Song

DocM idk he seems sober his new look is great on him. Seems like a new person and I think In a interview I forget which one he said he was 2 years sober

@Tania Marie That's dope! makes me appreciate and respect Danny's progress and status even more! shout out to Danny Brown! 1 of the Detroit legends, and gem in the game!

DocM oh most definitely 💯

Awesome Next Friday reference in the first bar

ok, now i am gonna check out Blood Orange

Sebastian von P listen to the entirety of nergo swan before you listen to anything else. you’re welcome.

Sofiane Aguiar Facts amazing album

Danny really just did Brockhampton better than Brockhampton

Word! a collab would be interesting

S T A N D I N G O N T H E C O R N E R .

St8 banger🔥🔥🔥😤🔥🔥🔥

Danny chill on drose knees lol

Eli 3li I’m saying like boy is doing good now lol leave him alone with those weak knees lines

STANDING ON THE CORNER

That one instrument in the background keeps reminding me of the DBZ scouter sound effect.

This songs power level is over 9000!!!

This sounds like DJ Shadow around the Private Press era.

Best song on the album imo

Fucking beautiful

Danny you will forever be my favorite artist man.... So experimental and brave. This album is beautiful please get the recognition you deserve

Same bro, he's so unique ! A real legend

Seeing him live , I’m so hyped

His last album was awesome it never made sense to me that it didn't catch... his style is true and the sound is awesome

standing on the corner killin this mf beat!!!

What's dope about Danny any song on the album can be someone's fav an I can see an relate to why they say it, thats special

Yeah I feel ya! Danny is a musical genius no question🔥🔥

Already Classic Album

No. It was released like yesterday

BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM 10/10 TRACK!!!

TDE totally agree it’s on repeat and the guy on the hook completes it 🔥

This one on some linkin park type shit 😢💪

This song sounds so unreal and ethereal, danny killed this but the blood orange feature is insane

Some of Danny's best flows and lyrics on this album. Good hook too.

FACTZ🔥🔥

Big ups to Standing on the corner 🔥🔥

MAAAN I'm getting them "old" vibes from this song. Great to have Danny Brown back. Breath of fresh air. Best song on the album from here. 8.5/10 album for me, fucks with it

Excellent song.

This reminds me of a Gui Boratto song. If you're feeling these beats check him out, he's a dope minimal dj from Brazil.

Never thought i'd see a Gui Boratto shoutout in a Danny song, dope!

im fuckin cumming this is epic

q-tip killed this album 🔥🔥

Aleup standing on he corner and Paul white made this beat

@ssj4goku18825theepic I think he might've mixed the whole album though...a la Dr. Dre.

Will B. Smooth - formerly KardiFan2000 yeah he’s the executive producer and mixes the music but he only produced three songs best life dirty laundry and combat. Paul white produced the most and co produced one with standing on the corner. Flying lotus Peggy playa haze and thunder at produced whatever other track

@ssj4goku18825theepic Oh yeah I'm aware of the production credits...but the OG poster wasn't wrong in saying that Tip killed this, he helped put some nice sheen on this LP.

Best track from the album. The production on this entire thing is fire, front to back! 🔥 Excellent release from Danny.

DocM Atrocity Exhibition is a masterpiece and can’t be touched. I doubt he’ll ever reach the same level again. He is happy now, so we wont get anymore madman beats. And it’s totally not a bad thing. And yeah, I rate it that high. I love the atmosphere of this thing. The production is fresh. It’s short, it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Not a single bad track. XXX for me is also a 9, I just like it sliiiightly less, but it’s still an amazing album. And I agree on Old.

For real it’s amazing. Why this got nearly 100 dislikes what the hell?

Are y’all high XXX is a 10/10

It's JOHN CENA!!!!! Yeah.

jjjjjaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

that ending tho
