2Pac, Mac Mall, Quincy Jones, Rashida Jones - Starry Night lyrics
[2Pac, Mac Mall, Quincy Jones, Rashida Jones - Starry Night lyrics]
Starry night an unknown creation written by
And from the archives of 2Pac Shakur
Dedicated to the memory of Vincent Van Gogh
A creative heart obsessed with satisfying
This dorment and uncaring society
You have given them the stars at night
And you have given them
Bountiful bouquets of sunflowers
But for you there's only contempt
Though you pour yourself into that frame
And present it so proudly
This world could not
Accept your masterpieces, from the heart
So on that starry night
You gave to us and you took away from us
The one thing we never acknowledged
Your life
Yeah, game laid down by Q
You know what I'm saying?
Vocals by Rasheeda, fly beat by QDI I I
And flows by the M-A-C y'all, Mr m-A-C Mall
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
Uhh, uhh watch me live my art writing
Words from my soul in blood
And speak the truth on every thing I love
I'll probably sacrifice my life to
Send my message through mics
It's like a war drum
Calling soldiers at night
It's bigger than music I spit
It straight from the heart
So it's cold and dark and
Deep like the universe, but nah don't start
It's for your entertainment but
It's my life y'all
And I can't rewind, fast forward
Or press pause but when you give your all
It's like the fans demand more
And after the tour I sit alone like before
When your name is hot it's all love
The world is yours
But when you fall off, you get ignored
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
You on the cover of the magazine
Flossing on the TV screen
Toasting with your champagne
Playin life like a game
Loaded in the limousine
Love to hear the fans scream
Swimming with the sharks now
Ain't no love - money king
People got they hands out but
Ain't nobody lending hands
Can you really blame them for trying
To get what they can?
Late night, bright lights, lust and lies
And anything goes under the Hollywood sign
Well you might lose your soul and
Who knows what you'll find
But go ahead man we all want to shine
But go ahead man we all want to shine
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
There you have it
You know, when I was younger I prayed
To get in this game
You know to hold this microphone in my hand
I asked the man upstairs
To let me rock a crowd one day
You know let people out there feel the
Way I feel through my music
Like my homeboy 2Pac did for sure
And he gave that to me
But he didn't, he didn't
He didn't let me know
About all the shady shit that's in
In between you and your dream, you know?
See it's more than the music
I spit it from the heart
So sometime it's cold and it's dark
But it's raw and that's how I'mma bring it
To you every time, you know?
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
Starry night, your life
You gave to us, and took away from us
And from the archives of 2Pac Shakur
