I'm A Star

[Verse 1: Lord Shafiyq] Shafiyq is the Lord, that's all one must hear To know the dopest rhymes will enter their ears Yes I have to come to obtain, sustain, maintain My name and fame, I got to do my thing I had left, but now I return just like a boomerang No half-stepping, in 88 I'm taking full steps I had to get my pockets straight Cause I believe in making dollars by the duffel bags So heavy in my pockets it makes my Ballys drag When I step to a beat like the present one But light on my feet, cause I'm the fluorescent one Who came to entertain a battallion or platoon So give me some space and leave me some room ??? in Arabic, ??? in Hebrew The Lord in English, now only if we knew What I can do with the mic in my hand It wouldn't be no controversy about the Asiatic man Made from sand, or better yet dust The Lord Shafiyq is a must Cause I am a star [Verse 2: Lord Shafiyq] Yo, remember me, or did you lose your memory Or did I do a demo on your memo You're trying to say that you have amnesia I guess the rhymes was dope like anaesthesia On the rapping field I'm like Larry Csonka Not so easy to conquer A Tonka toy in a matter of lengths I will administer a hurting before you even start to think I wasn't born to be normal, or conformal On the mic like the others who are normal (Yo your skills are extraordinary) Thank you brother Safiy, that's why I'm the legendary Lord Shafiyq, who used to be Gerry Until I was taught, cause knowledge I sought and sought Until I reached my destination To find out my ancestors are the constellations The Big Dipper, the Little Dipper H2O sipper, had a dolphin named Flipper God bless his fins and God bless the wins That I achieve when I'm battling Rodents, which is star spelt backwards Rats, a scavenger who lacks this Style that fits me like a tube sock Like a frisbee, your record is tossed to the boondocks Because it doesn't gloss like mine A star ain't a star if a star don't shine So just read the Torah, and Sodom and Gomorrah I brung down the city's walls with my aura So knowledge the rhymes because the rhymes are hype Or better still, knowledge the light Cause I am a star [Verse 3: Lord Shafiyq] I got to extract, contract, adapt, like a uterus So you can move to this cause I ain't new to this Or that, and being anti-wack Makes it easy for a brother like me to rap Now when I tax I wax then I relax and max And sit back and watch the damage that I caused with smacks It's a fact I'm black, original at that A true descendant of Adam just to be exact If you comprehend the recitation, knowledge the situation You would know I'm from a very great nation of Kings and queens, prophets and pharaohs Way before BMs and Camaros Did ever exist, and no-one got blissed Whoever got high, their life did get kissed That's no lie, even now as a thug I've been arrested for impersonating a drug Cause I'm dope, so dope that from now on When I sweat, I sweat Methadone I must move on, like a nomad I won't go mad cause I'm so bad When I pick up a mic and recite I'll ignite like dynamite And I tempt a wind to write but he can't fight the light That I shed so watch his head take flight like a kite Then burst, when he reaches a certain height I got pull like gravity, I know you'd rather see The star shine instead of a sad emcee Pouring nonsense out of his cup This could mean shut up Cause on the mic is a star And on the scratch, DJ Doc is a star
