Shooting Star
G. Papadopoulos Lyrics

Look
Pay attention

I done seen them niggas switch up for them pesos, huh
I have witnessed people changing their loyalties for money

Hope my lawyer do his thing and get that case closed, huh
I hope my lawyer can successfully resolve my legal issues

'Member days when I was wishin' like a shootin' star, huh
I remember the days when I had big dreams and aspirations

Or them days I was just wishin' like a shootin' star, huh
Or the days when I had nothing but wishes and dreams

Told my young niggas, 'Put in work' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I advised my younger companions to work hard

Keep your head up even when it hurt (yeah, yeah)
Stay strong even during tough times

'Member I was dirty, I'ma take the money with me to the dirt (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I remember when I was involved in illegal activities, and I plan to keep the money I earned even in death

Know I'm still totin' on sticks, fuck around and get clicked
I still carry firearms, so be careful not to provoke me

Know that shit was goin' on (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You should be aware of the dangerous situations I face

Speak my pain all on my songs
I express my struggles and hardships through my music

Couldn't do right, now I'm a favorite, I can't do 'em wrong, look
I used to make mistakes, but now I'm a respected and successful artist, so I can't disappoint my fans

Stayed the same, never switch roles, nigga
I have remained true to myself and haven't changed my persona

Said that I did it, start it, I finish, look
I always follow through on what I start

Stack it then I spend it, diamonds floodin' Audemar baguettes, huh
I accumulate wealth and then splurge on luxurious items like diamond-filled Audemars Piguet watches

Niggas wanna be us, I just spent a check
People admire and envy us, while I just spent a large sum of money

Look how niggas wanna be us
Observe how others aspire to be like us

I done seen them niggas switch up for them pesos (switch on me like)
I have witnessed people betraying me for money

Hope my lawyer do his thing and get that case closed, huh (get my case for me like)
I hope my lawyer can successfully resolve my legal case

'Member days when I was wishin' like a shootin' star, huh (wishin', wishin', wishin')
I remember the days when I had ambitious dreams and hopes

Or them days I was just wishin' like a shootin' star, huh (wishin', wishin')
Or the days when I had nothing but wishes and dreams

Told my young niggas, 'Put in work'
I advised my younger companions to work hard

This how he 'posed to live, huh
This is the ideal way for him to live

This how he 'posed to feel, huh
This is the expected emotional state for him

'Member days watching', huh, huh
I remember the days of observing

Now I'm on posters, kid
Now I am featured on posters, as a successful figure

Look, I done came up with a plan, my nigga
Listen, I have devised a strategy, my friend

We did it, no handouts
We achieved success without any assistance

Never sat around doin' nothin', nigga
We never wasted time doing nothing productive

Reason why I'm a standout
This is why I stand out from the rest

Wait, you gotta, wait
Hold on, you need to wait

Stay out my way
Avoid crossing my path

Or we gon' spray, so tell 'em
Otherwise, we will use firearms, so inform them

Look, never stop at no red lights, see them Jake lights comin'
I never pause when faced with obstacles, as I can anticipate trouble

Look, never bark if you won't bite, hit you back if you frontin'
I don't make empty threats, I will retaliate if you provoke me
