Rising Star

Cuh, you know when a man's blind

Some people chat about saving the world

But they would stab you in the back for some dough and a girl

So you learn to keep yourself solitary

And move with a crew who know how to move military

Some people pray for you to backslide

Even your fam, look at the drama now that MJ's died

I stay true to who's true to me

Cuh nuff man say they're your bredrin

And couldn't write a word in your eulogy

And it ain't new to me to have these haters

I consider them all to be a gift from the creator

If I wasn't moving forward, they would never be around

So I, I keep it moving, I don't make 'em pull me down

And I, I just wait for my time to shine

And use my face as a walking 'F U' sign

Come on

Alright

Yo

No matter how hard you work, there's someone working hard to take it

If you share all that you got, I guarantee someone will hate it

So I, I do me and I

You do you and I

Swear these brehs will change your dreams to a nightmare

Cause it's so hard for these cats to accept you rep the same ends

But now, you acquired a couple of assets

And I ain't just talking 'bout the round and brown ting

Cuh success will make a lot of bredders wanna frown ting

And they offered nuttin' when you lost your job

But them ah grudge you cuh you buttering your corn on the cob

And it's always the ones closest

So if you're a host, you make sure you mind your hostess

Cuh, she will set you up

Get mans to wet you up

And when you drown, they tell them same bredders not to let you up

So I'm just waiting for my time to shine

And use my face as a walking 'F U' sign

Come on

Hypocrite ah fight me from me born

Because I am a rising star

And I know that they would love to see me fall

Because I am a rising star

But I'm reaching to the top where I belong

Because I am a rising star

And I'll make sure that I get to number one

Because I am a rising-
