10 Songs For When They Try To Dim Your Shine

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine

Ever felt that there are some people, or things, working to put out your little light? well, Haven’t we all, right? A wise woman once told me, that if you never experience such setbacks in your life, then you must be doing wrong.

However, you cannot let those people, or things, bring you down. You cannot allow your shine to dim. You have to keep pushing. I know it is hard, but it is either you push yourself, or you let yourself hit rock bottom.

Now, trust me rock bottom is not a place you would like to be in. It is full of pain, misery, and regrets. So, here are ten songs that will help remind you that, you cannot let them take away your shine because honey, you got it.

CROWN – EMPIRE CAST

You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on it’s on for real
Damn I wear it so well
I know that they’re comin’ for my throne
But I’m the one who got here on my own
When I put it on it’s on for real
Damn I wear it so well

QUEENS DON’T – RaeLyn

Every tear’s a diamond on my cheek

I AM A STAR – CHRISETTE MICHELE

Rain starts pouring and it don’t stop
Let myself drown no I will not
Smile on my pretty mug

Have a piece of my pie no you will not
But if you feel like me and it is what it is
Then whats it gone be tonight

My feet are steady on the ground (ohh)
And you won’t knock me down

SOMETHING INSIDE – KENNY RODGERS

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you’re doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There’s something inside so strong
Oh, something inside so strong

LISTEN – BEYONCE

There was someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago

And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or turned
Into your own
All ’cause you won’t listen

SKYSCRAPER – DEMI LOVATO

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

EITHER WAY – K. MICHELLE. FT. CHRIS BROWN

They don’t like me, what they say?
I hear rumors, I feel the hate
But, I’m okay, I’m young and rich
I be high all day (ooh)Either way, I’m gon’ be straight

Sleepin’ good at night
In the mornin’ eatin’ eggs and steak (yeah, yeah)
Sleep or awake, I’m gon’ get this money either way
