[Intro: Blu]
What's up star, we know who you are
What's up star, we know who you are
What's up star, we know
[Verse 1: Blu]
Sometimes, it feels like I'm gone with the wind
So I'm blendin' in with the breeze
I'm speaking out again, please bear with me
I'm zonin' out, once the snare hits me
'Cause niggas be ice grillin'
I feel these Stans fit me like gloves
These mean mugs and screwfaces
Got me taking nigga serious
Been in that new paces
Whatever Blu laces
Reminds you of the West like Chucks with blue laces
The old and new Lakers
I'm showing you a older Blu in hopes that you embrace it
Like a soldier do with gauges
Molding you through pages that I wrote for you
Laid it in the vocal booth
Pressed it up and sold it to the places that you goin' to
In hopes that you would take it, play it over and over
So you get high with it and you feel it when you're sober
You can cry to it, sister, my shit'll get you over
My niggas ride with it, turn it up a little more
And show the world, and boys and girls sing along
It's a song of liberation, keep faith and stay strong
Show the world, boys and girls sing along
It's a song of liberation, keep faith and stay strong, allstar
[Chorus: Lyric Jones]
Just Shine although ya blinding em
There's no crime in being fly and uh
Most these niggas won't get it
You gotta got get it
Baby you're a star
In the sky they're all aligned for ya
Ain't time for being shy and uh
Everybody can't live it
Ya gotta stay with it
Know that you're a star
[Verse 2: Blu]
I shine like stars in all weather conditions
Whether stormy or glistening
I'll be spittin' till they mention me
We're living in a better position
And they ask me why my niggas be only focused on cheddar
These birds of a feather flock together y'know
Let's unite like leather with 'fros
Still pigs with the fist raised high
Praise God I got soul
I'm posing that flex, blowing kisses to the glow
Hello, world, are you there with me?
Then stand with me at the stars that we are
Bear with me for a second
Feels like heaven
Got me zoning out once the snare hits me
Tryin' to catch it
'Cause we peasants in the presence of God
But man-made can never measure to the speck of a star that we are
So believe and keep shining like a diamond in the rough
Brush dirt off your balls dawg, you blindin' em'
[Chorus: Lyric Jones]
Just Shine although ya blinding em
There's no crime in being fly and uh
Most these niggas won't get it
You gotta got get it
Baby you're a star
In the sky they're all aligned for ya
Ain't time for being shy and uh
Everybody can't live it
Ya gotta stay with it
Know that you're a star
[Verse 3: Blu]
Feels like a space odyssey
'Cause it's something that you gotta see
Some people may hate, some will probably be astonished by the shit we accomplished
Others will acknowledge it, or leave it up to God and me
'Cause he promised me everything I prayed for
That's why I bang doors down trying to warn you about this Great War
And cats be askin' what I came for
'Cause they know I'm finna take back the way rap was
'Cause it ain't yours to fuck up, cous'
Stop tripping like your leg is sore and step up, blood
We gotta take more time
Chase more dreams
Believe and have faith more
We ain't all kings, we ain't all niggas
We're somewhere in between being queens and bitches
So we livin' in the seams and the zippers of society
See we can hold this shit together
Or let it go forever as we watch it fall quietly (Shh)
Silent by the screams of anxiety
Trying to be him and trying to be her
But you need to dig inside and try to be your first
You need to dig inside and try to be you, 'cause you a star
[Chorus: Lyric Jones]
Just Shine although ya blinding em
There's no crime in being fly and uh
Most these niggas won't get it
You gotta got get it
Baby you're a star
In the sky they're all aligned for ya
Ain't time for being shy and uh
Everybody can't live it
Ya gotta stay with it
Know that you're a star
[Coda]
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
(Baby you're a star)
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone
(Know that you're a star)
When nothing shines on
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle
(Baby you're a star)
All the night
Then the traveler in dark thanks you for your divine spark
(Know that you're a star)
He could not see which way to go if you did not twinkle so
In the dark blue sky
(Know that you're a star)
