North Star
Offset Lyrics

Shit got real, we was standin' in the rain, woah
The situation got serious when we were caught in the rain.

I got four kids, know we need to spend some time, oh
I have four children, and I realize the need to spend quality time with them.

I'm grindin' without the sleep (Hey)
I'm working tirelessly and without much rest.

I pray to get out of the street
I ask for divine intervention to help me leave the dangerous street life behind.

I sit back and watch and see (Watch)
I observe my surroundings and those around me.

They plot they enemies (Plot)
They scheme and plan against their enemies.

They try to split the three
They try to divide us, the group of three.

This shit longer than centuries (Woo)
This situation has dragged on for what seems like centuries.

Shit be botherin' me
I'm constantly bothered by the ongoing issues and obstacles.

I got scars under my sleeve (Scars)
I carry deep emotional scars that are not visible to the surface.

The blogs is after me (Blogs is after me)
The media outlets are reporting on me constantly.

They tryna capture me (Tryna capture me)
They're trying to capture my image or story for their own gain.

They lyin' about the hoes, it's fuckin' my bitch up mentally (Lie)
The lies they spread about women is affecting my partner's mental health.

Shit be glitter, it don't be gold the fame can fuck up your family (Lie)
The fame and glittery lifestyle is not as valuable as it seems and can negatively impact one's family.

It's hard to hold, I'm sorry I fold
It's difficult to stay strong, and I apologize for my weakness.

But you can't do this shit back to me (Sorry I fold)
However, you can't replicate this situation onto me.

Sippin' on 4-4 while I'm lane switchin' (4-4)
I'm drinking while changing lanes recklessly.

Thinkin' about my walls let the gang get in
I'm contemplating letting my gang come closer to me and into my life.

Niggas start crossin' out they bros let they fame get 'em (Who?)
Some people betray their own friends and family for temporary fame and recognition.

Suckin' out my soul, she got brain difference
Someone is draining and taking advantage of me, and it's affecting my mental state.

Throwin' up big B's, Bent' Bentyaga (Big B)
I'm representing my gang with hand gestures while driving a Bentley Bentayga.

She ain't up to speed like my baby
My partner isn't up to the same level of success and fame as someone else in my life, my 'baby.'

Hop, hop in that new 'Ghini and race it (Skrrt)
Let's jump into the new Lamborghini and race it with excitement.

This is not a dream, no fugazi (Dream, dream, dream)
This is reality, and not a fake, artificial dream.

Mouth wide, I'ma dive in
I'm ready to jump in with both feet and take action.

We from the north side
We come from the northern side of something important or significant.

Master of my craft, go through the rough draft
I'm skilled and experienced in my profession, but still go through the trial and error process.

Watchin' all my maps, calculate my cap (Calculate)
I'm paying attention to my resources and finances, calculating my limit.

This is real rap, Offset sack 'em like Warren Sapp
This is authentic rap music, and I'm going in hard and hitting my enemies strong.

Music like the trap, get the product and relapse
My music is like the trap game, getting and selling 'product' and potentially becoming addicted.

Crown me the king, addiction to lean
I'm claiming to be the king of this genre and expressing my addiction to codeine and promethazine.

But if I can't sip it then mama I can't even sleep (Yeah)
If I can't drink my preferred drug, then I can't even get restful sleep.

Got skeletons all in my closet, I'm scared to peek (Scared to peek)
I have dark secrets and scandals buried deep, and I'm afraid to reveal them.

They thought I was gon' fail if you ask me
People assumed I would fail if asked about my success.

They don't really want me on, oh so sad to me
People don't actually want to support me and it's upsetting.

They know I'm too strong, can't assassin me
People are aware of my strength and resilience and can't defeat me.

I'ma always be good, don't feel bad for me
I will always be okay, and don't pity me or feel sorry for me.

This the mind of a maniac, you believe in the internet (Hey)
My thought process is frenetic and wild, and I question the validity of the internet.

I receive and I give it back, greet the people when in Iraq
I take in energy and give it back, and I welcome others even in dangerous situations.

Let me lead the pack, I'ma let everyone eat the racks (Eat)
Let me be the leader and I'll make sure everyone gets a share of the profits.

We don't feed the rats (Feed), all I speak is facts
We don't support those who would sell out or snitch to authorities, and everything I say is true.

Autopilot on the jet, my dawg caught a lick
The jet is cruising on autopilot while my friend got a successful robbery.

Mama had a nigga scared, hide the pistol 'round my shit
My mother had me worried, so I hid my gun somewhere safe.

There is no such thing as peace or privacy
It's impossible to find a peaceful or private existence.

And if you felt this low down you'd get high as me
If you experienced this level of downs, you'd need to compensate by getting high like me.

I'm beginning to question what I believe
I'm starting to doubt my own beliefs and values.

It's so lonely in the light, it's lonely, I repeat
Even with success and fame, it can still be a lonely and isolating experience.

But I cannot cry
I cannot allow myself to show weakness or sadness.

And I'm acting like I cannot die
I'm portraying myself as invincible and immortal.

But I've gotta burn brighter
But I must shine even brighter and give off more light.

Too be the north star in the dark night sky
To be the guiding light in a dark and uncertain world.

Look up, look down and look around for me
Search high, low, and everywhere in between for me.

I'll cast a shadow on the ground for me (Look high up)
I'll create an impression on the earth's surface while being high up in the sky.

'Cause I'll be high up in the sky
Because I'll be flying or otherwise elevated in the sky.

And I'll always be there, I will always be there
I'll always be present and available for those who need me.

Don't look down or look around for me
Don't worry about my whereabouts or what I'm doing.

I'll cast a shadow on the ground for me (Look high up)
I'll make an impression on the surface below me while being elevated.

'Cause I'll be high up in the sky
Because I'll be flying or otherwise elevated in the sky.

And I'll always be there, I will always be there
I'll always be present and available for those who need me.

'Cause I'm the north star in the dark night sky
Because I'm the guiding light in a dark and uncertain world.

I can't cry
I refuse to show any weakness or vulnerability by shedding tears.

Yes, I could die
Even though I act invincible, I am still mortal and can face death.

To be the north star in the dark night sky
To be the ultimate guide and beacon of hope in a dark and uncertain world.

Can't cry
I refuse to let myself show any vulnerability or weakness by crying.

Yes, I could die
Although I portray myself as invincible, I know that death is a possibility.

To be the north star in the dark night sky
To be the ultimate guide and beacon of hope in a dark and uncertain world.
