Star Side Intro

Surprise it's the boy who lived
It's the West Chatham Santa with some toys to give
A .38 Special I call noisy cricket
I got a chain on now called Roy G. Biv
It's the new New Edition
Like Poison Biv Bell DeVoe
It's time to make that noise again
Lauryn Hill say she seen Me on The Voice again
But this the End Of The Road like Boyz II Men

You Betta, Use your pen, baby
Use your heart, child
Where your viewpoint?
Where's your art style?
Sometimes a teardrop can make your heart smile
Looking for a sign and He sends a star shower*
Fresh off surviving the coup d'état
The music stop you just might lose your spot
No fairytale* endings if you lose the plot
It's written in the notebook if you forgot

It's a love letter
I used to hate math used to love letters
They had me in the class with the dumb niggas
This nigga come to class with an umbrella
Ditch school
Daywalker
I'm a sun dweller

Until I met a Brother Mike
He said, "Young fella
Everybody dies
Some write poems
So I raised my right arm
And I said, "Right on"

Put my name on that Don't Give No Fuck list
America's own* niggas You Can't Trust list
I got Sig Sauer called MC Hammer
I got a chain on now called You Can't Touch This

I said, I gotta figure out a-"huh?"
Gotta figure out a way to get this money by tomorrow
If you know me it ain't funny anymore
If you owe me ain't no running anymore

Oh life will be
Just you believe in You

IGH!
Put on that full armor
Learned that from my mama

She said Life will be
Just you believe in you

Separate the waters
It's a fleet of ocean liners star-side

Shake it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line

And we back

Look mama I seen a star
Big and pretty and it ain't that far
Bright and Bold and Black like me
And it's right in the mirror
I'm shining hard

The last time that my check got commas
My whips got horses
My chains got blinders
Teachers got laptops
The kids got binders
Celebrity barber
My stars all lined up

3 went platinum
The 1 went diamond

I had an F minus but that's behind us
My pen on paper worth millions of dollars
Shout out to the fact that they still ain't signed us

No contract
No fine print
No lease
No co-signment
I emptied the safe for a case
I ain't never been broken
But you don't know how broke I been
Tell me how can you now afford to file divorce
The child support
The back door take the trial to court

Either I'm the best or these times is good
There's only two reasons this shit could rhyme this good
Heavy is the crown
I'm ahead my time
I left breadcrumbs when I read my rhymes
So if I catch a red dot to the dome they'll find me
With a note on my head saying
"You read* my mind"

The pen gone flow God
I'm your vessel
Now bless my soul God
We gone wrestle
The writings on the wall baby
It's a fresco
It's a death note
It's a manifesto

Oh life will be
Just you believe in You

Put on that full armor
Learned that from my mama she said

Life will be
Just you believe in you

Separate the waters
It's a fleet of ocean liners star-side

Oh life will be
Just you believe in you

Oh life will be
Just you believe in you
