Northstar

[Verse 1: Malcolm London] Been a lot of places except for home Rocked a lot of stages, no stepping stone Skipped a lot of school, my lessons learned When cops kill us them courts adjourned Did I forget to mention that I'm from the westside? Where sunset 'round five, and quickly turn to dark skies Cross-eyed cross country, my city feel like apartheid Where showin' love feel like a part time job [Pre-Hook: Malcolm London] Kids can't go to the playground Can't tell Chicago from Capetown Young Nelson Mandela with a cape on Straight from K-town I don't wanna go right now I just wanna learn right now Northstar from the westside Wear a lot of hats, but they don't let hats inside Picket sign in my afterlife [Hook: Maceo Haymes & Malcolm London] I'm like, how you gonna change the world? (How you gonna change the world?) (It's already ending) (Where you gonna place your bets?) How you gonna change a world that's already ended? Where you gonna place your bets when you're so far from winning? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right? How you gonna win if you ain't right? You ain't right, you ain't right [Verse 2: Vic Mensa] They tell me Vic go save the world Save your money, don't sell your soul Save your family, don't save yourself Dropped outta school, saved by the bell Just a hot boy trying to make it out of hell Locked in a cell trying to make it out of jail In 360, trying to make it out a deal Industry slave trying to make it out the field But we in the house like Will They tryna kick us out like Uncle Phil Did Jazzy Jeff, land on the steps Next time I step hand on a nine mill' A man can't eat then a man gon' steal A man can't dream then a man gon' drill And scream GD till the world blow up now We're just waiting on the world [Pre-Hook: Malcolm London] Kids can't go to the playground Can't tell Chicago from Capetown Young, Nelson Mandela with a cape on Straight from K-town I don't wanna go right now I just wanna learn right now Northstar from the westside Wear a lot of hats but they don't let hats inside Picket sign in my afterlife I'm like [Hook: Maceo Haymes & Malcolm London] How you gonna change the world? (How you gonna change the world?) (It's already ending) (Where you gonna place your bets?) How you gonna change a world that's already ended? Where you gonna place your bets When you're so far from winning? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right? How you gonna win if you ain't right? You ain't right, you ain't right [Verse 3: Malcolm London] Call me Malcolm X from Alcatraz Pulling exodus from out the trash Did a lot of shit, don't like to brag Teaching for the kids who failed the class Change starts by putting first whose last Take a couple steps and learn to dance Damn, damn, damn, damn Martin Payne or Martin-dreamland Just tryna' learn to be a man Just tryna' learn to be a man Startin' with myself, I've got a plan Put your hands up if you with it (How you gonna change the world?) Malcolm X-caliber, change your sword Black Power Ranger, mighty morphing dinosaur Better take your time, it's the only thing you can't afford [Sample] How you gonna change the world? It's already ending Where you gonna place your bets When you're so far from winning?
