Let It Shine Page #4

---

- Right here!

So, listen. What do you say

to those wannabe stars out there

who want to enter a song?

Just keep it real

and write from your heart.

All right, okay! Now let's hear it

for Atlanta's own Roxie!

I'm gonna submit a song for the contest.

- For real?

- Yeah. I'm gonna win it.

I don't know about all that.

WW you say that?

'Cause I'm doin' a song

for the contest, too.

'Bout to bust my rap skills

out on you, son.

Okay, we'll see who has skills.

And that would be me. All right, bro,

it's getting late. I'll catch you later?

- You know it.

- All righty. Peace.

Her beauty's crazy

I watch her from the crowd

Her voice is so amazing

She'd make her momma proud

I tried to send her flowers

But she has no address

Her home is in my heart

It's like she never left

This is more than a crush

More than a like-like

More than a love

Baby, imma make you mine

And I ain't givin' up

This is more than a crush

More than a like-like

More than a love

Baby, imma make you mine

And I ain't givin' up

Don't run away

Don't run away from the truth

'Cause I'm not giving up on you

Don't run away

Don't run away from the truth

'Cause I'm not giving up on you

Normally I couldn't turn your head

That's why I had to write this instead

Let's be friends

Start out slow

Get to know you beyond your glow

You're more than meets the eye

Girl you're pterodactyl fly

Way back when you knew my name

Tell the truth is what I claim.

Don't run away

Don't run away from the truth

'Cause I'm not giving up on you

Don't run away

Don't run away from the truth

'Cause I'm not giving up on you

Oh, no.

Now, we were talking about

my generation,

now I wanna talk about today's youth.

Today's youth...

Door needs some oil.

Amen!

It's nice to see my son,

our choir director,

is almost on time for church.

But almost don't cut it

in the kingdom of God, do it?

- Amen!

- I heard ya, I heard ya!

Today's youth.

They say they're not in church

'cause it's too early on Sunday

and they're too tired.

Well, guess what? I'm tired, too.

- Amen!

- I heard ya!

Tired of being blasted

by harsh language out of car stereos.

I heard ya!

Tired of seeing our girls with

their shorts and their skirts too high.

Tired of looking at our boys

wearing their pants too low.

But most of all,

I'm tired of rap and them rap clubs

keeping our kids out so late

on Saturday night

that they can't get up early

on Sunday morning and go to church

'cause they're too...

Tired!

You all know what place

I'm talking about, too.

That place downtown.

And don't you all let them fool you

into believing that it's a good thing.

It keeping our kids safe,

and "off the streets. "
