Yukmouth, Devin The Dude - Star In The Sky lyrics

This can't be my life
Broke, struggling in the streets
I know one day I'm gon shine
Like a star in the sky
Like a star in the sky

Dear lord, I was born to be a star
Raised in the projects
Even though my moms was at the bar

I'm so gifted, I tought myself how to draw
Read comic books screaming dear lord
I know this can't be life
Every night I'm eating beans and rice
My shoes holy, and my jeans is tights
I see the broke man blues
But still believe in rights
We go to church every Sunday
Me and my grandma
She would say thе lord would come
And save us one day
But thеn it's back to the gunplay
In the ghetto where the first
And 15 like a birthday
Cause that's the day we got payed
My mama was a crackhead, so it got blazed
Kept going to church, but grandma got saved
And pray for the day me
And my family got payed

This can't be my life
Broke, struggling in the streets
I know one day I'm gon shine
Like a star in the sky
Like a star in the sky

Mama, why the other kids get to ride a bike?
I had to build a gold car out
Of wood, we was so broke
I couldn't buy a bike
The front had rollerskating wheels
A string to stear
The back was big training wheels
And my seat was a milk crate
My break was my shoes
That's why my heels scraped
Just hoping that my mama had a meal made
But she smoked out
I had to eat at my folks' house
Thank god for friends, cause if
I didn't have 'em
I'd be eating out of garbage cans
I put it all in the father's hands, cause
When I'm starving man, he let me eat
So it's part of the plan
I just apreashate I got clothes
Even though they got holes
I was in motels eating on the hot stove
Being broke will make you go berserk
Think I'm lieing? I was crying
When I wrote this verse true story

This can't be my life
Broke, struggling in the streets
I know one day I'm gon shine
Like a star in the sky
Like a star in the sky

Daddy, why you never go to work?
When they giving out buter and free cheese
The only time my mother go to church
It's sad, but my family was poor
Now we sleeping in the ally
Outside of the store
Lord, how could we get evicted?
From section 8, but mama was addicted
Kept spending with them heavyweights
My dad stayed locked up, he was a pusher
So my only choice was move with
My grandma or my sister
Me and my little sister had different
She so she moved with her father
Damb, me and my sisters all seperated
And my family spent the check on theyself
Hated make a youngster wanna run away
Commit suicide
A voice inside told me put the gun away
It brought a tear to my eye
Lord let me survive
Cause, Imma shine like a star in the sky

This can't be my life
Broke, struggling in the streets
I know one day I'm gon shine
Like a star in the sky
Like a star in the sky
