Shinin' Star - Brand Nubian[00:00:02]
Yeah yeah uhh uh huh[00:00:03]
Brand Nubian yeah yeah check it[00:00:07]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:00:12]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:00:14]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:00:19]
Uhh now it started it off for me in apartment 6C[00:00:21]
Project style ate government cheese for a while[00:00:24]
Pop Duke wasn't there cos he had to do a bid[00:00:26]
So momma love stuck with these bad ass kids[00:00:29]
She used to say keep your head up always think positive[00:00:31]
And never be ashamed of who you are or where you live[00:00:34]
Teenage years I had to struggle doing that[00:00:37]
Shorty say Don't talk to him girlfriend look where he live at[00:00:39]
Crib probably crawlin with roaches and rats[00:00:42]
Plus cats be in his hallways with the drugs and the gats[00:00:43]
I used to try and honeys used to walk on by[00:00:46]
Now I'm damn near 20 and still ain't got no ride[00:00:49]
Caught a record deal now them same old chicks that used to walk on by[00:00:51]
Go out their way to say hi[00:00:55]
But they gets none[00:00:57]
That's why I'm with the same girl from the same projects that I come from[00:00:58]
Because[00:01:01]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:01:02]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:01:03]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:01:08]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:01:11]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:01:13]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:01:17]
Well this is that time that you've waited for[00:01:20]
Three linked from what was said to be extinct[00:01:23]
You say take my weed-smellin ass home I'm grown[00:01:25]
More thirst than if I swallowed sand bags[00:01:28]
Not fiending enough to go out and grab bags from women[00:01:30]
I swear if we don't hear this on the air[00:01:33]
I'll be down at the station[00:01:35]
Your broadcast from Monday has now been switched to no day[00:01:37]
With the class team that I'm with we stay fit[00:01:40]
Just like the calm before the twister hit[00:01:43]
Brand Nubian name is gonna blister shit[00:01:45]
We raise the flags in three places[00:01:47]
Employ black faces from midnight blacks to light tan[00:01:50]
Brand Nubian straight rate policy for the world[00:01:52]
For your little man for your little girl from Cheryl to Earl[00:01:55]
Watch how it all go down and unfurl[00:01:57]
Mark this print I feel like we've all been sent[00:02:00]
It's more than gettin money and gettin bent[00:02:02]
(Word life cos you're a shinin' star)[00:02:04]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:02:06]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:02:10]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:02:12]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:02:16]
Brand Nubian cats spread[00:02:19]
A four letter word seldom heard amongst my nation[00:02:22]
Understandings highest elevation the foundation[00:02:24]
Of creation of motivation in my family there's no relation[00:02:27]
They got us willing to be killing off our population full time occupation[00:02:29]
We need to turn it around like oscillation[00:02:34]
Or watch it all burn to the ground from frustration[00:02:37]
Lord Jamar I'ma show love to all my people who show[00:02:39]
To me that's how it's gotta be[00:02:42]
Peace to Prodigy and Mobb Deep[00:02:43]
God's working hard on the streets for the love of the peeps[00:02:45]
Niggas bring their ass in the clubs every week[00:02:48]
Walk right past the brothers and they can't speak[00:02:51]
All hands meet to shake for Pete's sake[00:02:54]
Let's break the ice life livin love love livin life (Yeah)[00:02:57]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:02:59]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:03:01]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:03:05]
You don't have to drive a fancy car[00:03:08]
Just for you to be a shinin' star[00:03:11]
No matter who you are no matter who you are[00:03:15]
