Mmm mmm mmm uh uh uh
Mmm wha uh uh uh oh
Woah woah mm
Everyday be feeling like nothings changing
Im on a grind im hoping that it will change me
Bullets fly we aint shooting for the cams
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Will I really be star
Will I really be a star
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Tell me will I really be a star or am I dreaming
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
I'm Fiend it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
I'm fined it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
Getting high on that chance to succeed
I feel lost more pain over grief
You move different when you that they decease
And if I have to lose then im goin fall like a beast
I will never step faulty for another nigga
My visions perfect I be striving up for something bigger
Fuck a 9 to 5 I seen the bigger picture
And if you aint what you claim then I cannot risk it
Everyday be feeling like nothings changing
Im on a grind im hoping that it will change me
Bullets fly we aint shooting for the cams
Will i really be a star or am i dreaming
Will I really be a star
Will I really be a star
Will I really be a star or am I dreaming
Tell me will I really be a star or am I dreaming
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh
Im fined its my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
I'm drinking my soul
Take the bottle and pour up a lil more yuh




Im fined it's my fault
But lil shorty I just really need to hold yuh
