Shine Your Light On The World! Shine Your Light For The World To See! [Lyrics]

This message is for Tahnee and all girls, daughters, sisters and mothers of course, I love so much! You know who you are! Keep shining!

UMI says by Mos Def Lyrics

It is still one of the greatest songs I've ever heard and has even more meaning now than back then.

Mos Def was a decade ahead of his time with those lyrics!

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 [fly fly fly, like a dove]
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself [ow!]
Passion takes over me
I feel like a man
Going insane
Losing my brain
Trying to maintain
Doing my thing
Hey hey hey hey hey
Put my heart and soul into this y'all
I hope you feel me - Yasiin Bey

I loved this song when it first came out in 1999! I was singing it loud every morning to my then 5 years old girl Tahnee. I wish she would remember as well.

I put on my black shades, my white shining plastic fantastic coat and sang those words as loud as I could. Beside James Brown and Sade she was shaking her cute bootie to Mos Def the most.

She loved Mamma's pink and red dancing shoes.

Here she is : Tahnee's Crow Indian Roots

It was the time when I decided to leave New York to take her far, far away from America, her birthland to raise her in SE Asia, Bali.

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 - Mos Def

I was right there :) at his insane performance in Bali in my venue.

I had goosebumps!

Here are the smashing and deep lyrics

I am fortunate that I worked with this wonderful artist I respect so much!

Those words nearly made my cry but shining!

“She was fierce, she was strong, she wasn’t simple. She was crazy and sometimes she barely slept. She always had something to say. She had flaws and that was ok. And when she was down, she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best. She was unstoppable and she took anything she wanted with a smile.”
― R.M. Drake

She is still unstoppable
You are still a charmer, kind and full of life. You are full of spirit. I admire your courage. I celebrate your womanness. Your truth. Your boldness.
I am happy to know that women like you still exists. No matter what happens, we will stay behind you.
I celebrate you and every woman who have decided to speak up for others in the case of cancer awareness. You are wonderful. You are superficial. You are a woman of valour.
You are my inspiration for this post today - Gloria

Yours @mammasitta & @massivevibration
