Stars

[Hook] I pray these words will reach you where you are, oh From somewhere in the stars I'm out there with the stars Yeah I know How life can get you down I've been low With nowhere to be found [Verse 1] He sits back with a pen, strapped with his own innovation Puts the needle on the track and his soul in the paper His work's solely from greatness, nothing short of amazing Then he thinks of his brothers - how he told 'em he'd make it Passed out in a poem, he won't wake up. Blasts off when they told him he wouldn't take off That's something to rap 'bout; now the cats out. But everyone around him feels like 'why do they hate us?' So this is all he knows, what a journey it's been So much further to go, let the journey begin If determined to win, they'll tell you "well surely you'll win." But he knows deep down inside him he ain't perfect a bit Feels like you're trying to find your rock and then it turns to brick But it don't happen like that so we gotta earn that shit His words could give a blind person vision And tries to say the words inside him 'fore he's murdered for livin' It's just the game plan of a player Just goin' through the motions 'til it turned to something major [Hook] [Verse 2] Look through the eyes of a soldier. Tell me how he was feeling When all odds are against you how could you not wanna flip it? Knowing cops are gon' get you the next shot that they're given Unaccepted lifestyle but no one gon' stop you from living Guess I'll learn when I'm older. Guess I'll shop when I'm richer Man how could you settle for less, knowing they will not forget you When you had nothing but spirit - had big plans for your future You shrink yourself from the spotlight now you stand where they shoot you You see, my whole life I was told that I was too young While I observed the world and told myself what to do, son Always performing before a group of my elders Now it's f**k it, I'll do it myself; I disappeared and grew up And still growing, still going where ever the wind blows me Still let my words introduce me to those who didn't know me And although now more than ever, I'm still lonely Peace with the people slowing - I'm still going. Gone [Hook]
