I can feel the love in here

My inner space got constellations

And all those inner conversationsThey help me to shine, shine

(Shine) shine

They help me to shine (shine)

So (shine) shine

They help me to shine

Picture the world after the wilder-

Ness no longer exist, picture me with no filter

Picture we see the rainbow as evidence that storm

Was only meant to wash away the hurt, certainly not destroy

Picture divine vines growing on side-abandoned buildings

Picture choosing the road less traveled, abandon millions

Picture standing on top of hills and projecting your brilliance

Picture we started old and slowly became more like children

Picture me as the tadpole, started off as a frog

Picture me as the channel that started off as a blog

Picture me as the whisper that started off as a yell

Picture only offering heaven although they give you hell, like

Picture that, scripture that

Picture that brilliant sister from Sister Act

That gave us the miseducation, found those who missed the map

And gave ′em hope, just one more 'genn, pictured a extra lap

That′s love

I can feel the love in here, yes, I can, yeah

My inner space got constellations

And all those inner conversations

They help me to shine, yeah (shine) ooh

(Shine, shine), shine

They help me to shine (that's what we're gonna do) yes, we are (shine), oh

(Let′s) shine, shine (let′s go again)

They help me to shine

Picture me flying over the city

Picture me with a beauty whose soul is equally pretty

Picture me with a ruby that's redder than cherry stems

Picture me with a choir full of hers that′s singing hymns

Picture having action at calefaction, we heating up

Picture even with your voice trembling speaking up

Picture dropping the ladder for all of those reaching up

Picture every time we searching for answers we seeking up

Picture every finger pointed conjoining to form a fist

Picture every time you pray that heaven gladly forms a list

Picture baddy carrying Jamaican patties blowing kisses

Picture gravity wasn't a factor, now picture me lifted

Picture skies, picture trees

Picture too many flowers, too many leaves

Picture you and me for hours doing whatever we please

Picture giving self-love deeper than seas, preach

I can feel the love in here and it feels so, oh

My inner space got constellations, ooh (yeah)

And all those inner conversations (you gotta talk to yourself lik you′re in love)

They help me to shine, hold yourself a little time (shine, I saw you shine), ooh

Shine, shine (don't forget to shine) yeah

They help me to shine (but they get shined out, shine) I make my mama proud

(Shine) shine

They help me to shine (yeah)

Picture me bright, picture me glowing (yeah)

Picture my intuition guiding me, picture me knowing (knowing)

Picture me dripping, picture me giving, picture me showing

Picture me 96ing dipping, now picture me rolling (ah)

Picture me in a low-low, switches and bending corners

Picture me in a white T riding through California

Picture with a queen that′s playing her violin

Picture little kids looking at daddy like I am him

Picture dirty hands in soil planting greens to feed the future

Picture me so fresh, so clean, cleaner than loofahs

Picture teaching a class, divina la vida pura

Picture me as a doctor, I'm saying, "Tengo la cura"

Picture sipping natural herbs through tip of the hookah

Picture me living much better than great, I'm living super (dope)

(And then we just let it ride, like, right out) ooh

(Like that, right, like that, right? Right)

Shine

I can feel the love in here

My inner space got constellations

And all those inner conversations

They help me to shine

Shine, they help me to shine

And you′re worth it...

Sometimes...

And you′re worth it...

Sometimes
