Shinin’ Star lyrics

by

Talib Kweli


[Verse 1: Terrace Martin]
You the one that’s
Responsible, remarkable
Honourable, always in control
You’re daddy’s pride, with your momma’s eyes
Love ‘em both, sorta like I love my life
They created you so the praise is due
Up high cause he favoured you by makin’ you
My compliments inside you is where heaven is
Beautiful and suited too, brighten up the dark
So I’ma nickname you 'Star'
Can I call you Mars? Or maybe Venus?
Nothing’s between us, on this earth
But it’s God first
So every time you right by my side, God work
And work...

[Hook: Tiffany Gouché]
And you’re my little star (Star)
I see the way you shine (Shine)
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you

[Verse 2: Terrace Martin (Tiffany Gouché)]
Long walks thinking and planning our future (I need you)
Rushing tryna get home thinkin’ what I’m gonna do to ya (I need you)
Knew that it was you to trust, you can turn the Luther up
I must admit it girl you go the smoothest touch, got me stuck
And that’s alright though
I’ma let go, love’s in control
So let me ask, is you cool with that?
It’s you in fact cause you got us on a plateau
I can’t go back to the playa way of thinking
A queen like Billie Holiday, my inner being
Taking giant steps like John Coltrane
Envision you jumping the broom and me replacing your name, with mine
This ain’t a game cause everything that I’m sayin’, sincere
You’re here with me not entertainin’ them lames
(Ooh, star, I love the way you shine)
See you appreciate the little things, actually
When the revenue was short, you’d be holdin’ up the fort
Beauty and compassion need, balance any man would need
Though the future’s lovely, look at what my eyes see
Me giving you a seed to mark the beginning of we
Follow, I take the lead, a little Jo and Jodeci
Spinning while I kiss your cheek, know my heart is yours to keep
(I’d do anything for you) Yeah, you got it, boo
Lovin’ every side of you, I receive the bright of you
(Oh yeah) Yeah, and I'll be there for you
Hard work and soft on you sweet like a summer foo
Stacked in the pants, yeah, somethin’ like an Amazon
Gotta hand it to ya, girl, ya everything a man want
And I’m thankful
[Hook: Tiffany Gouché]
And you’re my little star (Star)
I see the way you shine (Shine)
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
And you’re my little star (Star)
I see the way you shine (Shine)
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
Don’t you go too far now baby
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
