Grab A Star
Chief Keef Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mama say I have trust issues
I been feelin' like Jesus
She wants me to be her man
I can't baby, I'ma break you
Baby, I would not lie to you
I'd be careful if I were you
I'm the one, but you might be the two
I'm not that liable
Call me, pull off, skr-skr-skr-skr
Smoking that a-la-la-la
Give me that ah-ya-ya-ya
Call me, let me pull off, right now, right now-now
And when this drop starts to drop, baby look in the sky and grab a star (Bang)

These bitches love Turbo and I love the purple
I ball, Tyrese Gibson, baby boy, you look so fertile
These bitches love Otto, their mouths be wide open
Been gettin' it since snot nose, I was open and then I closed
These bitches love Chief Lo, but I'm not so sweet though
And she is a freak though, I put her to sleep though
These hoes love Almighty, like Disney loved Miley
Her boyfriend is spying, she's like, "you have to hide me"
These bitches love me, that's all I can see
I'm so obsessed with me, I be all I can be
I don't see brown or white, all I see is green
To count all this cash, I might need a team

Mama say I have trust issues
I been feelin' like Jesus
She wants me to be her man
I can't baby, I'ma break you
Baby, I would not lie to you
I'd be careful if I were you
I'm the one, but you might be the two
I'm not that liable
Call me, pull off, skr-skr-skr-skr
Smoking that a-la-la-la
Give me that ah-ya-ya-ya
Call me, let me pull off, right now, right now-now
And when this drop starts to drop, baby look in the sky and grab a star (bang)

Ooh, my car so retarded, the bitch just farted
Pulled off like skrt, VIP access, I ain't gotta park it
All these darts on me no Walmart, will never fuck with Target
And I'm sipping, but I can't stop, I can't be hardened
These bitches love Big Gucci So, but I'm no rooty tooty though
Don't want to talk so that's all you can know
Row row ya boat, that's all you can roll
I'm stuffing these cones like an audience close
And I'm not really an American though
But I'm somewhere in the Madigan dough
But I walk around like a mannequin though
Now yo bitch on the way
She want this on me
But she's listening, can a bitch hold me?
You can be lactose, still can't shit on me
Do the whole 200 on dash, with a 150 [?]

Mama say I have trust issues
I been feelin' like Jesus
She wants me to be her man
I can't baby, I'ma break you
Baby, I would not lie to you
I'd be careful if I were you
I'm the one, but you might be the two
I'm not that liable
Call me, pull off, skr-skr-skr-skr
Smoking that a-la-la-la
Give me that ah-ya-ya-ya




Call me, let me pull off, right now, right now-now
And when this drop starts to drop, baby look in the sky and grab a star

Overall Meaning

In "Grab a Star," Chief Keef starts with his mother's observation about him having trust issues and his own thoughts about feeling like Jesus. He confesses that he cannot commit to a relationship and warns his potential partner that he would only hurt her. The rapper addresses his obsession with himself and his riches as he talks about the different girls who are attracted to him and his crew. The chorus tells us to keep looking up to grab a star while the drop is happening. The song ends with the artist bragging about his expensive car and flashing his wealth.


The overall theme of the song involves a man who is too focused on himself and his riches, which he effortlessly attracts. He cannot commit himself to anything other than his fame and wealth. His mother's concern about his trust issues and seeing himself as Jesus suggests he lacks empathy and has become more selfish. The catchy chorus is arguably the most significant part of the song, emphasizing the line "grab a star" as a metaphor for aiming high and grabbing success in life.
