Shooting Star
Dr. Basement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of being pushed around up and about
I'm done and out this is my life I have a dream I wanna live
Life is what you make it, you don't have to fake it
just live it the way its supposed to be
just live it the way its supposed to be until the end


Chorus

If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
If only they can let me do the things I wanna do
if only they can see the things I'm seeing in my eyes
If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
I will be in the sky
( flying high like a shooting star yeah !)
I will fly
( so high I wont touch the ground yeah)


I'm yearning for greatness ,
will of steel and courageous
yeah I live so gracious but hungry , ferocious
yeah they playing versus but I'm fighting ,tenacious..
I'm on the move with the holy ghost and my moves are making them anxious
Ambition is my addiction and quitting is not my diction
Steadfast no abrasion,
no role playing no fiction
Gut a vision on a mission and I'm cutting bad relations
Fired up in the Holy Ghost and I'm taking this to the nations
War cries on my memento
Flying high with momentum
I'm going by like I'm mental
Realize I got to fight hard so I'm exchanging hands like a rental
All my struggles ,momental and Jesus Christ is my mentor
They say you too churchy but it's part of me, essential
Before I listen, take notes ' validate credentials ! '
You wanna tell me something but you ain't got the Holy Ghost Hold on just leave me alone !


Chorus

If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
If only they can let me do the things I wanna do
if only they can see the things I'm seeing in my eyes
If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
I will be in the sky
( flying high like a shooting star yeah !)
I will fly
( so high I wont touch the ground yeah)


They taught me to shut up
They said I had no voice
They thought I had no choice no no
But then I showed up
And I proved that I'm the best amongst the rest
No I wont be put to rest , i am a light
ill shine so bright yee eyyy
No I wont be put to rest , i am a light
ill shine so bright yee eyyy

Why you want me shutter my dreams and shadow you ?
Why you want me living a dream inside of you ?
Why can't support me when the storm comes comfort me,
push me to the front of the line and not control me ?

family ,friends ,society ,trends
I believe in chance nonmatter how it turns
I believe in dreams nonmatter how it seems
You should be unique nonmatter what it brings


Chorus

If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
If only they can let me do the things I wanna do
if only they can see the things I'm seeing in my eyes
If only they can let me be the man I wanna be
I will be in the sky
( flying high like a shooting star yeah !)




I will fly
( so high I wont touch the ground yeah)
