Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forever's not so far away/
and one day will see His face/
but theirs so many who don't even see/
I pray that they would come with me so that we can see the star/
Forevers not so far away/
so that we can see the star/
forever/'s not so far away/
I pray that we would be together

They call you killa court you ride and you push/
in the hood you down Im just praying you look/
up to the stars theirs something beyond the skies/
come with me that's where my Lords people reside/
I see how you moving what you doing aint bout nothing/
your just my nephew but I feel like your my lil brother/
just know I love ya/
I love ya and theres no words to express/
but I could show you my heart if I could open my chest/ any yes
one day our faith will be seen/
but thats a gift freely given I praying you would receive/
You know how I use to be you know how I use to be/
where Im going I just want you to come with me/
I just want you to be free/

Bridge

Why wont you let go/
of the things that hurt your soul/
life's out of control/
its time to grab a hold/
cause forever's not to far/

Lil Duece I been knowing you since a youngin/
from running in kindergarten to hanging in alley tumbling/
flipping on a dirty mattress to robbing these dudes for nothing/
nobody told us then what we where becoming/
I see how you moving what you doing aint bout nothing/
your just my homie but I feel like your another brother/
just know I love ya/
I love ya/
so I'll tell it like it is/
since Gaylon and Grizz died its like you dont wanna live/
for real/
so it hurts to see where you are/
I just wanna introduce you to God/
Look man know how I use to be and you know how He moved in me/
where Im going I just want you to come with me/
I just want you to be free/

Bridge

Me and your mother we love you more than you know/
writing this verse alone wont let it show but here we go/
Im praying my heart would bleed through/
receive truth cause I know where this life will lead you/
I see how you moving aint bout nothing/
your not my son but I pray you see how much I love ya/
and yes I love ya/
I see you drifting towards life that seems so much better/
than truly seeing Jesus to be your treasure beyond any measure/
hurts to the core to see you run from the Lord/
we love you but know that Jesus loves you more/
Look man you know how we use to be/
and you know how he moved in me/

where we going I just want you to go with me/
I want you to be free/

Overall Meaning

The song Stars by Json is an emotional plea to people who are lost and struggling to find a higher purpose in life. The song begins with the hopeful assertion that forever is not so far away, and that one day we will see the face of God. The singer then acknowledges that there are many people who do not see this and prays that they would come with him to see the star, a symbol of the divine that shines brightly in the sky. The chorus is repeated several times, with an emphasis on the idea that we do not have to be alone in our search for meaning and redemption.

The verses of the song are addressed to two specific individuals, Killa Court and Lil Duece, who are struggling with their own demons. The singer tells Killa Court that he loves him like a brother and urges him to look beyond the immediate satisfactions of his lifestyle and follow him to the stars, where the Lord's people reside. He tells Lil Duece that he has known him since childhood and implores him to come with him to see God and be free from the destructive patterns that are consuming him. In both cases, the singer acknowledges their pain and their struggles, but he also offers them hope and a way out of their darkness.

The Bridge of the song is like a prayer, urging people to let go of the things that hurt their souls and to grab hold of the promise of forever. The song ends with a plea to the singer's own son, urging him to see beyond the allure of a life without God and to remember the love that his family and Jesus have for him. The overall message of the song is that no matter how lost or alone we feel, there is always a way back to the light.
