Umi Says - Lion Babe

I don’t wanna write this down

I wanna tell you how I feel right now

I don’t wanna take no time to write this down

I wanna tell you how I feel right now, yeah

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

Tomorrow may never come

For you or me, life is not promised

Tomorrow may never show up

For you and me, this life is not promised

I ain’t no perfect, man

I’m trying to do the best that I can

With what it is I have

I ain’t no perfect, man

I’m trying to do the best that I can

With what it is I have

I put my heart and soul into this song

I hope you feel me

From where I am, to wherever you are

I mean that, sincerely

Tomorrow may never come

For you and me, life is not promised

Tomorrow may never appear

You better hold this very moment very close to you

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

Sometimes I get discouraged

I look around and things are so weak

People are so weak

Sometimes, sometimes I feel like crying

Sometimes my heart gets heavy

Sometimes I just want to leave and fly away

Sometimes I don’t know what to do with myself

Passion takes over me

I feel like a man, going insane, losing my brain, trying to maintain,

doing my thang

Put my heart and soul into this y’all (This y’all)

I hope you feel me where I am, to wherever you are

Sometimes I don’t want to be bothered

Sometimes I just want a quiet life with me and my babies, me and my lady

Sometimes I don’t want to get into no war

Sometimes I don’t wanna be no soldier

Sometimes I just wanna be a man but

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free

All my people to be free, to be free, to be free

All black people to be free, to be free, to be free

All black people to be free, to be free, to be free

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

That’s all that matters to me

Shine your light

Shine your light on the world to see

Shine your light for the world

Shine your light on the world to see
