The Roots - Star lyrics
[The Roots - Star lyrics]
Everybody is a star everybody is a star
Get 'em up high (Everybody is a star)
Okay, yeah
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)
When that adrenaline get in they system
It get 'em out on a quest for stardom
Could be a motherfuckin' 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)
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)
Yo, ain't it strange how the
Newspapers play with the language
I'm deprogrammin' y'all with uncut slang shit
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
Niggas 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)
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)
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 bullshit floodin' the scene
Where everybody's a star
And hot shit 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)
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
Everybody is a star
Get 'em up high (Everybody is a star)
Okay, yeah
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
