Star lyrics

by

The Roots


[Intro: Black Thought]
Everybody is a star
Everybody is a star
Get 'em up high
(Everybody is a star)
Okay, yeah

[Chorus: Black Thought]
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, lift 'em up high, okay
(Everybody is a star)

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
When that adrenaline get in they system
It get 'em out on a quest for stardom
Could be a motherf*ckin' problem
In Philly, Cincinnati, Los Angeles or Harlem
Kids call theyself killers, let they hammers do the talkin'
Don't even know the meaning of life, ain't seen a thing
And you dream of floodin' the scenery with, yeyo and greenery
But for now, you stickin' her with the heavy machinery
Wonder how, you lift it up, be only seventeen
And like everybody he wanna shine, young brothers on the grind
Holdin' somethin' in they spine, "Bowling for Columbine"
Stressin' to me how it's all about a dollar sign
Dig the way you out of line, out of sight and out of mind
Up against the clock and damn near out of time
"The Tipping Point" has arrived, and that's the bottom line
To all my peoples that's stars, it's our time to shine
Let's get 'em up high, come on
(Everybody is a star)
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, lift 'em up high, okay
(Everybody is a star)
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, lift 'em up high, oh, yo
(Everybody is a star)

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Yo, ain't it strange how the newspapers play with the language
I'm deprogrammin' y'all with uncut slang sh*t
I know some peoples in the party armed and dangerous
Twist some cool champagne, I'm goin' through changes
A grown-ass man, I done paid my dues
Learn the rules lil' homie, you could be one, too
n*ggas know, ain't no tellin' what he gon' do
But recognize young bruh, I'ma do it for you
You know why? We all stars and we highly evolved
Hip-Hop, it's not pop like Kylie Minogue
If it bang, them gettin'-busy brothers probably involved
In the game, where everybody got a shotty to draw
I guess you probably a thug, you boss ballin' or what?
I can't call, it man, I got the ladies fallin' in love
'Cause handsome, intelligent, tough, I'm all the above
I know you knew it it's the movement
Groove to it while you doin' it up
(Everybody is a star)
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, lift 'em up high, come on
(Everybody is a star)
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, get 'em up high, come on
(Everybody is a star)

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Introducing the band you gotta see to believe
He got the mic in his hand, so keep the heat up your sleeve
It's Black Thought, he rockin' sharp so the speakers'll bleed
I run a triathlon, you wouldn't see me fatigued
I'm a star, and maybe y'all should cop somethin' to be
Or trade some of y'all equipment in for somethin' you need
'Cause it's a, lot of bullsh*t floodin' the scene
Where everybody's a star, and hot sh*t is few and far between
We lose the grip of what garbage mean
Shorties wanna be theyself, I know it's hard to be
Don't wanna do the Ruben Studdard and come off less threatenin'
Keepin' it real'll kill you if you end up lettin' it
Ain't it blowin' your mind how the game all in line?
Now the best, to the rest, we finna end up settin' it
I'd tell you that I was a veteran but it's evident
You act like you want it, you gon' end up gettin' it
(Everybody is a star)
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, lift 'em up high, come on
(I love you for who you are)
Go all-star, and get down for yours
To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, get 'em up high, okay
(Ever catch a falling star?)?
Go all-star, and get down for yours
Young ladies in the house, be proud of yours
You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course
High, uh-huh, high, come on

[Outro]
Everybody is a star
