Now all art masters know that you paint the glow,
You need the glow, the glow to grow.

If you love to live, your Kung Fu love,
Hah, you got to Kung Fu Dick Dragon level.

Cos When you got the glow, there aint no stopping,
what ESPÍ would do.

hah, oh.

To reach Dick Dragon level,
Your mind, body and soul must be fun.

It's a sacrifice, it takes hard work,
Makes the paints alive.
When you paint the glow, you feel this one,
(You feel the one)
When you paint the glow, Your cover's bold,
(Your art is gold)
So don't let go, of the power of the Hakes auction.
(Power)

Shine on,
Shine on,
Shine on,
Shine on,

Get the glow, Get the glow, Get the glow, grow.
