[Verse 1: Solomon]
Just an infant, leaving feet prints
She’s got our matching DNAs, forensics
And he spent a lot of time in the precinct
Can’t remember last time he came to visit
I wanted daddy number one on her wish list
She been a good girl, so this Christmas
She deserves to be her daddy’s little princess
In her pink dress, you see the pictures
Of the stars that cut out of a magazine
One day she gonna be up on the big screen
And get her mama out the hot kitchen
Mama’s gotta pay the bills, Pops missin
On her birthday, she want a bratz doll
But he spent that on his last call
Her fifth birthday she want a bratz doll
But daddy spent that on his last call
Telling alcoholics about her at the bar
He got the nerves to call you his little shining star
I know you’re fed up, I know you’re fed up
But like Pac {Tupac} said, you gotta keep your head up
----------------------
[Chorus: Gotham and Solomon]
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Look up and see that twinkle in your eye, that’s you baby shoot baby shoot for the sky
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, them lonely nights is long and them days might be dark but your future’s bright
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, go ahead girl spread your wings, you gotta learn to fly through them stormy winds
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
In due time it won’t be long, YEAH EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
----------------------
[Verse 2: Solomon]
Daddy loves you, Daddy loves you
Wish you coulda seen the things that I bought you
And I don’t blame your Mom for what she taught you
She said your Daddy’ ain’t around cuz child support’s due
Had to leave but, I was forced to
And I seen you, why’d you have to cry
And the pressure from this life it could crush you
They say the devil is a lie and this world’s cruel
And I left you in this world all by yourself
You ain’t even gotta try, you might as well
And the star will always shine all by itself
I wrote you letters through the bars of abandoned cells
And I ain’t there, I see you reachin out
And I can’t even say nuthin, what you thinkin now
But listen girl, you gon’ be grown
And the world is yours, you gon’ be known
----------------------
[Chorus: Gotham and Solomon]
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Look up and see that twinkle in your eye, that’s you baby shoot baby shoot for the sky
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, them lonely nights is long and them days might be dark but your future’s bright
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, go ahead girl spread your wings, you gotta learn to fly through them stormy winds
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
In due time it won’t be long, YEAH EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
----------------------
YOU’RE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR, YOU’RE GONNA BE A SHOOTING STAR TONIGHT
YOU’RE LOOKIN’ LIKE A SHOOTING STAR TONIGHT…TONIGHT…TONIGHT
----------------------
[Chorus: Gotham and Solomon]
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Look up and see that twinkle in your eye, that’s you baby shoot baby shoot for the sky
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, them lonely nights is long and them days might be dark but your future’s bright
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
Yeah, go ahead girl spread your wings, you gotta learn to fly through them stormy winds
SOMEDAY SOMEDAY YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR
In due time it won’t be long, YEAH EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
----------------------
YEAH EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
