Lyrics:
Yeah yeah, uhh, uh-huh Brand nubian, yeah yeah, check it Intro/chorus: You don't have to drive a fancy car Just for you to be a shinin' star No matter who you are, no matter who you are Verse one: grand puba Uhh, now it started it off for me in apartment 6c Project style, ate government cheese for a while Pop duke wasn't there cos he had to do a bid So momma love stuck with these bad ass kids She used to say keep your head up, always think positive And never be ashamed of who you are or where you live Teenage years I had to struggle doing that Shorty say "don't talk to him, girlfriend, look where he live at Crib probably crawlin with roaches and rats Plus cats be in his hallways with the drugs and the gats" I used to try and honeys used to walk on by Now I'm damn near 20 and still ain't got no ride Caught a record deal, now them same old chicks that used to walk on by Go out their way to say hi But they gets none That's why I'm with the same girl from the same projects that I come from Because....... Chorus (x2) Verse two: sadat x Well this is that time that you've waited for Three linked from what was said to be extinct You say take my weed-smellin ass home, I'm grown More thirst than if I swallowed sand bags Not fiending enough to go out and grab bags from women I swear if we don't hear this on the air I'll be down at the station Your broadcast from monday has now been switched to no day With the class team that I'm with, we stay fit Just like the calm before the twister hit Brand nubian name is gonna blister shit We raise the flags in three places Employ black faces from midnight blacks to light tan Brand nubian straight rate policy for the world For your little man, for your little girl, from cheryl to earl Watch how it all go down and unfurl Mark this print, I feel like we've all been sent It's more than gettin money and gettin bent (word life, cos you're a shinin' star) No matter who you are, no matter who you are Chorus Brand nubian cats spread Verse three: lord jamar A four-letter word seldom heard amongst my nation Understandings highest elevation, the foundation Of creation of motivation, in my family there's no relation They got us willing to be killing off our population, full-time occupation We need to turn it around like oscillation Or watch it all burn to the ground from frustration Lord jamar, i'ma show love to all my people who show To me that's how it's gotta be Peace to prodigy and mobb deep God's working hard on the streets for the love of the peeps Niggas bring their ass in the clubs every week Walk right past the brothers and they can't speak All hands meet to shake, for pete's sake Let's break the ice, life livin love, love livin life (yeah) Chorus (x2)
