stars are made to shine

[verse 1: greg !@$^]
i'm in the double g, three-piece tux
screaming dressed to kill

hope somebody call my bluff
it's a full house sipping on a royal flush
two queens is on my cuffs

good times is in the cards
living on borrowed time
i'm paying the extra charge

to feel like something small is worth a hundred large
swag is on !@$!, charm is on massage
wit is on guard, i challenge you to a duel

who needs a chain when every thought's a jewel
god bless the weirdo when everyone's a fool
f*ck a genie and three wishes

i just want a bottle, a place to write my novel
i am like !@(% to those that hear a rhyme and think
how do you find this upper echelon this time

let's toast to better days, a beautiful mind, and a flow that never age

[verse 2: black thought]
yo, i'm never sleeping like i'm on meth-amphtamines
move like my enemy ten steps ahead of me

say my reputation precedes me like a pedigree
gentlemanly gangsta steez beyond the seventies
holdin fast money without running out of patience

move in silence without running up in places
cake by the layers, rich but never famous
hustle anonymous still remain nameless


in hindsight gold come in bars like a klondike
the minute before the storm hit is what i'm calm like

suited and booted for a shooting like it's prom night
it's suicide right pursuers tried like
to no avail and a hero's what they died like

i've got em waiting on the news like i'm cronkite
not in the lime light or needed for the crime right
no boasts, just bodied, chalked close to the line tight

[verse 3: truck north]

yeah outside where the killers and the dealers swarm
and inside they dressed up like it's a telethon
black tie affair but they holding heavy arms

straight cash with a stash in the###merbund
more bacardi and the bouncers of the party hum
riots erupting around and still we party on

made the quantum leap to a king from a pawn
but it was destined the conclusion was foregone
serenade of the former slave promenade

cause them long days in the sun
have now become shade
so we doing high speeds in a narrow lane

say cheese, free falling from the aeroplane
another feather in the cap for all the years
that we spent in luxuries lap without looking back

cause memories could sting like hornet
damn it felt good to see people up on it
