Ransom - Major Star lyrics

Montage

I told my mom, "One day
I swear I'm gonna be a major star"
Major star, major star
I told my dad, "One day
I swear I'm gonna be a major star"
Major star, major star

I told my pop, "One day
I swear I'm gonna be a major star"
Play your part, teach your kid
Gotta raise 'em smart
Don't make this hard
Last week, got a A in art
All you wanna do is break his heart
All you wanna do is take apart
Can't shine 'cause you made him dark
Case and point
Never gon' stop 'til I proved to
The world I'ma make my mark
Gotta praise my God
You could say I'm scarred
Matter fact, you could say I'm flawed
Damn shame my life is a gamble
You can bet I'ma make my odds
Grown up, livin' life as a vandal
Who the fuck gon' save that, boy?
One day, I'ma make it big
Prove you wrong, lace my crib
Buy my car, make my kids
The day you die is a day I live
Gotta break my rib just to make you look
Cry out loud just to make you cook
It's a game of chess, gotta take your rook
And the pain I get, it'll make you shook
Look, I'ma tell y'all like he told me
Take that pain, you a OG
Why buy one? You could own three
I been on the block since '03
See dad, I made it
In and out of prison, I skated
And I'm proud to say you my favorite
You turned my love into hatred i hate it

I didn't like my father 'cause he
Would beat me just because, uh
He felt like it to get my attention, I guess
He would think that from coming
Out and smacking you yeah, basically

I told my mom, "One day
I swear I'm gonna be a major star"
Major star, major star
I told my dad, "One day
I swear I'm gonna be a major star"
Major star, major star

I told my mom, "One day
I swear I'm gonna make it out this hood"
And when I'm gone, there's no comin' back
I'm gonna make it out for good
I'm gonna be a big
Rap star, football player, or basketball
That's just all, what she said, "Just
Don't end up in a casket, boy"
End up dead 'cause you're askin' for it
But I got a passion for it
Now, I gotta add some thought
I ain't got no damn support
Damn, I'm lost, I don't
Want a nine-to-five
I don't like followin' rules
How could I lose? Never laid down and died
Tough like Ndamukong Suh
I'm promisin' you, "I'ma be amazin', ma
I'ma be a major star"
That's what I'm gon' do
"I'ma be blazin', ma
I'ma be a major star" this time
I gotta prove that I am just one of a kind
There's nobody else on the planet
Could damage the game in a couple of rhymes
Cut from a cloth that no one can find
They say I'm just stuck in a time
Where niggas could rap and
No suckers could shine
I been sellin' crack and
Been bustin' my nine, ah
Just tryna make mama proud, calm it down
There's no more drama now, I
Guess that's karma now, wow
