They told me shooting for the stars was the answer I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel No NASA, Black astronaut Tell me what more could you ask for The path wasn’t ever fair It’s what my n*ggas had to bear everywhere Why you still mad atcha boy I hustle ‘cause I had no choice, they rather that I had no voice But instead, my pen’s a perspective for the misled Cigarettes and baby mommas that sip Hen While the weight of the world gets heavier Borders where they try to build barriers Talking heads building hysteria That’s why my young n*ggas don’t care enough We rather rock diamond wrists and a pair of buffs They rather have locked down in a pair of cuffs Unfair, fair enough And wonder they you never see no peace Why our outfits not low key Treat foreign whips like trophies Belong in this world where we had to make our own in this world They told me shooting for the stars was the answer I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel No NASA, Black astronaut Tell me what more could you ask for The path wasn’t ever fair It’s what my niggas had to bear everywhere Those days that can make you want to shout 13 had to be the man of the house Man or a mouse, money was the path we was after Thanks to the past had to grow up a little faster now Cold hearted was the outcome Middle fingers to the ones pointing fingers that never be where I’m from We was trapped in, shit, why you think we all strapped in Head in the clouds, yeah, you deserve it You’ll probably see a star if you look a little further Life’s like a jump off the edge Hope my wings form before this fall ends They told me shooting for the stars was the answer I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel No NASA, Black astronaut Tell me what more could you ask for The path wasn’t ever fair It’s what my niggas had to bear everywhere
