| Starry night. |
| an unknown creation
|
| Written by, and from the archives of Tupac Shakur
|
| Dedicated to the memory of Vincent Van Gogh
|
| A creative heart obsessed with satisfying
|
| this dorment and uncaring society
|
| You have given them the stars at night
|
| and you have given them bountiful bouquets of sunflowers
|
| but for you there’s only contempt
|
| Though you pour yourself into that frame and present it so proudly
|
| this world could not accept your masterpieces, from the heart
|
| So on that starry night, you gave to us and you took away from us the one thing we never acknowledged, your life.
|
| Yeah, game laid down by Q, y’knawmsayin?
|
| Vocals by Rasheeda, fly beat by QDIII
|
| And flows by the M-A-C y’all, Mr. M-A-C Mall
|
| Starry night, your life
|
| You gave to us, and took away from us Starry night, your life
|
| You gave to us, and took away from us Uhh, uhh. |
| watch me live my art; |
| writin words from my soul in blood
|
| I speak the truth on every thang I love
|
| I’ll probably sacrifice my life. |
| to send my message through mics
|
| It’s like a war drum callin soldiers at night
|
| It’s bigger than music I spit it straight from the heart
|
| So it’s cold n dark and deep like a universe, but nah don’t start
|
| It’s for ya entertainment but it’s my life y’all
|
| And I can’t rewind, fast forward, or press pause
|
| But when you give your all, it’s like the fans demand more
|
| And after the tour I sit alone like before
|
| When ya name is hot it’s all love, the world is yours
|
| But when you fall off, you get ignored
|
| You on the cover of da magazine, flossin on the TV screen
|
| Toastin wit yo’champagne, playin life like a game
|
| Loaded in the limousine, love to hear the fans scream
|
| Swimmin wit the sharks now, ain’t no love — money king
|
| People got they hands out but ain’t nobody lendin hands
|
| Can you really blame dem for tryin to get what they can?
|
| Late night, bright lights, lust n lies
|
| And anythang goes under the Hollywood sign
|
| Well you might lose ya soul and who knows what you find
|
| But go ahead main we all wanna shine…
|
| But go ahead main we all wanna shine…
|
| There you have it.
|
| Y’know, when I was younger I prayed, to get in this game
|
| Y’know to hold dis microphone in my hand
|
| I asked the man upstairs, to let me rock a crowd one day
|
| Y’know let people out there feel the way I feel through my music
|
| Like my homeboy Tupac did fo’sho'
|
| And he gave that to me But he didn’t he didn’t he didn’t let me know
|
| about all the shady shit that’s in, in between
|
| you and yo’dream, y’know?
|
| See it’s more than the music, I spit it from the heart
|
| So sometime it’s cold n it’s dark, but it’s raw
|
| And that’s how I’ma bring it to you every time, y’know?
|
| CHORUS (fades out) |
