Statik Selektah - Like a Star lyrics

Introduction (Reks) Yea, Thats good static, man You gutta slow that sh** down for a second, man They gutta listen to the words, man Verse 1 (Reks) Check I eat any instrumental But my sons can't eat beats, So do I feed the seed or the mental SUV or the rental. Good job or the lottery Rental in the hood or beach property Nothing stopping me, but the man in the mirror starring solemnly Like the whole worlds got it out for me Sorry for thyself like, weath will never be a part of me I give in every artery, but arteries don't clock-in Arteries just clock-out, grim reaper knocking The devil won't get knocked-out, all this co*k blocking I think of Pac and how when, he died in his prime Like damn, what we need most is time We dribble or we rush for the first down Scribble in the verse now Rhyme the track to remember how it ends, hurt sound The Earth round, some thought it was flat, will I get credit, When them kids look back Can I win some? Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample) I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are Like a star Since music's expressions of life Damn I wish I took more time to write (Reks "filling my notebook") (repeat - Once) Verse 2 (Reks) Yea, Yea, Check, Yo Each day that go by I think about my Homies in the sky, gotta ask God why Why you let the love die, why the hate crimes rise That makes moms eyes water, eyes on the prise Sized tend apon the concrete Walking on the lines, with street signs, me crying Peddlers time settling beef I'm minding the sheets, rhyming the beats Trying to reach, for magazines, not the ones for the heat I'm talking XXL cover expel, brother real educated Kings spitter, still a street dweller Do you Seek hell or heavens halo's? Hello to deamons or the angels Love I seek, I am thankful Cause god grant you life, to live to the fullest The devil pull us through gutters, slums k**ing for colour Bullets cover the young, slums lost to mothers Who suffers bodies below, souls rose above us Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample) I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are Like a star Since music's expressions of life Damn I wish I took more time to write (Reks "filling my notebook") (repeat - Once) Bridge (Reks) We are who we are, we fall, we crawl through it Gazing at the stars from a far judas Plotting demise on my rise, my eyes scour the skies Look for heaven in accumulous clouds beside My enemies friends can be shadey f** a club getting wavy, sh**, I got a baby My baby's now a toddler, crazy Holler when I touch down, maybe 24/7 on 'air waves' baby To follow, be all I can be, motto Cause i know the trap of the beast, So I avoid Rap over beats, paranoid like, I should just be employed A job might do me well Hobby's no good for bills Rapping my hobby, Bobby Marley Had a vision to spread love, I try to rise above I hated though, that my n******gs can't make it too Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample) I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are Like a star Since music's expressions of life Damn I wish I took more time to write (Reks "filling my notebook") (repeat - Once)
