Star |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, lift 'em up high, okay |
When that adrenaline get in they system |
It get 'em out on a quest for stardom, could be a motherfuckin problem |
In Philly, Cincinnati, Los Angeles or Harlem |
Kids call theyself killers let they hammers do the talkin |
Don’t even know the meaning of life, ain’t seen a thing |
And you dream of floodin the scenery with, yeyo and greenery |
But for now, you stickin her with the heavy machinery |
Wonder how, you lift it up, be only 17 |
And like e’rybody he wanna shine, young brothers on the grind |
Holdin somethin in they spine, «Bowling for Columbine» |
Stressin to me how it’s all about a dollar sign |
Dig the way you out of line, out of sight and out of mind |
Up against the clock and damn near out of time |
«The Tipping Point» has arrived, and that’s the bottom line |
To all my peoples that’s stars, it’s our time to shine |
Let’s get 'em up high, c’mon |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, lift 'em up high, okay |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, lift 'em up high, okay |
Yo, ain’t it strange how the newspapers play with the language |
I’m deprogrammin y’all with uncut slang shit |
I know some peoples in the party armed and dangerous |
Twist some cool champagne, I’m goin through changes |
A grown-ass man, I done paid my dues |
Learn the rules lil' homey, you could be one too |
Niggas know, ain’t no tellin' what he gon' do |
But recognize young bruh, I’mma do it for you |
You know why? |
We all stars and we highly evolved |
Hip-Hop, it’s not pop like Kylie Minogue |
If it bang, them gettin-busy brothers probably involved |
In the game, where e’rybody got a shottie to draw |
I guess you probably a thug, you boss ballin' or what? |
I can’t call it man, I got the ladies fallin' in love |
Cause handsome, intelligent, tough — I’m all the above |
I know you knew it it’s the movement |
Groove to it while you doin' it up |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, lift 'em up high, come on |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, get 'em up high, come on |
Introducing the band you gotta see to believe |
He got the mic in his hand, so keep the heat up your sleeve |
It’s Black Thought, he rockin sharp so the speakers’ll bleed |
I run a triathlon, you wouldn’t see me fatigued |
I’m a star, and maybe y’all should cop somethin to be |
Or trade some of y’all equipment in for somethin you need |
Cause it’s a, lot of bullshit floodin the scene |
Where e’rybody’s a star, and hot shit is few and far between |
We lose the grip of what, garbage mean |
Shorties wanna be theyself, I know it’s hard to be |
Don’t wanna do the Ruben Studdard and come off less threatenin |
Keepin it real’ll kill you if you end up lettin it |
Ain’t it blowin your mind how the game all in line |
Now the best, to the rest, we fin' to end up settin it |
I’d tell you that I was a veteran but it’s evident |
You act like you want it, you gon' end up gettin it |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, lift 'em up high, come on |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, get 'em up high, come on |
Go all-star, and get down for yours |
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours |
You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course |
High, get 'em up high, come on |
«Everybody is a star.» |
