Starwars
Marc Live Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yo Marc, this is your album
The beginning
[Chorus: Marc Live]
I been everywhere, the clubs, the backrooms, the V.I.P.'s
Red carpets, bright lights it's not news
Top of the roof wit'cha girl yo you old news
Back of the club with thugs yo we got you
I got some shit to show you
Not Russell Simmons, yo it's not "The Show" dude
Some real life shit, "Episode - Part II: Attack of the Clones"
Attack of the clowns that's out there right now
Studio thugs with the studio drugs now
Everybody got shot this year
So what? I'm tired, niggaz get shot every year
Yeah, and everywhere yeah, what's up
What's up with niggaz with these new sets? Yeah
Uhh, you from New York cousin, never even banged yet
Peace to Lil' C, this is for you dawg
I "Shut 'Em Down" like Chuck and Flav
I bust 'em down like it's first and it's re-up day
"Training Day," "The War Report"
Corrupt rapper, I'll turn your lights out
Like some ol' Clapper commercial, the clappers'll hurt you
[Chorus x2]
[Kool Keith]
Fuck it I did my thing but not yet
Shit on your girl's eyelid, watch the girls wake up with Hershey spots
Ex-Lax exposed from my ass
Move the ladies out, I roll with stock tips around your head
Macy's and A&S, you motherfuckers know I come with the chocolate makeup
My urine is cold, rappers with the Benzes, clean out your seats quick
My defecation is on your wristband
How does it feel when a tough rapper move up close and shit on ya hand
My bowels move with Chuckwagon, a glass of water, and three cans of Calcan
Diapers shock you, blow in front of the fan
Turds on your glove compartment shows with the Pepto Bismol
It's guaranteed a hundred grand, girls sit a lot in restaurants
Especially fine ones, they shit a lot
You can't talk that much around that mouth, spit a lot
[Chorus x2]
[Marc Live]
That's right, it's real, it's crazy
Welcome to the circus
Kool Keith, Marc Live, Rockstar
Yeah, S.M.G.
Get the fuck outta here
The lyrics to Marc Live's song "Starwars" contain a mixture of braggadocio and social commentary. In the first verse, Marc Live boasts about his experiences in various settings, including exclusive clubs and dangerous backrooms. He uses clever wordplay to show that he is always on top and that everything else is old news. However, in the next verse, he shifts to a more serious tone, rapping about the prevalence of violence in the music industry and the fake tough guys who contribute to it. He mentions the new sets that rappers from New York claim to be a part of while never having truly experienced violence themselves. Marc Live also takes a jab at corrupt rappers, saying he'll turn their lights out like an old Clapper commercial.
The chorus ties the two verses together, emphasizing that no matter where Marc Live goes, he always has his guards up and is prepared to handle anything that comes his way. The song ends with a verse from Kool Keith, whose lyrics are more abstract and deal with bodily functions in a humorous yet disturbing way.
Overall, "Starwars" is a commentary on the entertainment industry and the facade that many artists put on to seem tougher or more glamorous than they really are. It combines slick wordplay, social commentary, and crude humor to create a unique and thought-provoking track.
