(Verse)
I come from the underground
No , under the ground
In the middle of Compton town
So you know how I get down
One day I hit the corner on the right block
Time to write this paper and lights out
Bounce the fuck out of town
And blew the fuck out to town
And boy I got more frequent fly miles
Then anybody else around
You take off , boy I touch down
I got a flat , I left it down town baby
Used to tell me I was crazy
Then they bump my song daily
Then they threw their tubs up
And pass the joint all around
I tried it, I knew it
I knew that I could do it
If I held my head and paid attention
God would help me through it
And every night I try to
Write the most perfect music
Yes every night and every day
I stay true to it
If you gotta go bring it
I'ma clap when you start singing
And every dream that you had in your head
Might come to right in being
A star was born again
Came from nothing
I know you told em all a long time ago
But go and tell 'em again
(Chorus)
Baby I'm a star
Look how I shine
I'm gonna go way up high
Baby I'm a star
Watching me fly
I'm gonna go way up high
(Verse)
You remember the back of the bus
I don't, my grandma told us
She do it in the kitchen
Smug the chicken , it's ridiculous
This is real, not fictious
I'ma make a movie you picking us ,no Tyler Perry
Woulda let the real magician
Sit in the living room and laugh at us
When I step in the house she brightens up
Find a star and tell you up
Now I sit my ass right at spot
And keep on riding 'em up
Keep on frighten 'em up
Keep puttin them out
Keep making them scream and shout
Man there's a whole lot of beating
In a whole lot of places
That know what I'm talking about
We tried it , we did it
We caked it up and split it
We went out separate days
And better days came with it
I'm on the beach I fall asleep
But yes I'm far forgetting
I'm blessed I'm happy with it
God , you did it
I look up in the sky I wanna see
See my reflection
And yes I'm one step from heaven
Where I wanna be now
(Chorus)
Baby I'm a star
Look how I shine
I'm gonna go way up high
Baby I'm a star
Watching me fly
I'm gonna go way up high
(Verse : Mikkey Halsted)
All the same, a star was born
South Chy side out woulda Glock your life
Couple bullets off won't stop my shine
And never been wanting me to drop my mic
I was too bright I was born to fall
And a long wait for the corner dog
Sucker niggers trying to get a case on me
Couldn't stand up in the court of law
Every 16 and a quarter raw
Can't touch me I'm above law
Born to flick ,daddy was a king
Supposed to fall I'm the captain of the team
Jordan on the verse, on the hook I go in
Charlie used the book on the team
Y'all niggers had all game to score
Now pass the rock I'm back on the scene
They been trying to kill me
I ain't ready to die though
Try to pass me the weed
I'm alright high though
Niggers know I'm the truth
What I gotta lie for
God made me a star
Just sit back and watch me shine
(Chorus)
Baby I'm a star
Look how I shine
I'm gonna go way up high
Baby I'm a star
Watching me fly
I'm gonna go way up high
