I was a child of the 80's, growing up in the 90's A small black child, a power, you couldn't find me Because I shyly, would hide away from the faces They used to look me in the face; "Baby you'll make it" And told me to stand strong, because you're gonna be god Beyond the dark, the sunshine heart A new day, so I pray I'm gonna make 'em right I fight for life, and make sure my life's right I stand strong on my own two, so whatchu gon' do I hold you, in the weather, my speech, and mold you Until my past, cuz this verse is a looking glass Silk past the evil, here to serve my people, forever
[Chorus:] To this night a child is born A lone star coming out of the sky to lead the wise men Come again, tell me the truth, I wanna listen A heavy burden I carry for my people to live
Losing my mind one piece at a time Rewind events in my life and I find that Hardships outnumber the good times Still I stand tall and hold my head high Flee the scenes, maybe things get better But no they never did and I'm back to where I started Smokin packs a day and acting like alcoholics No money in my wallet and feelin really retarded Fuck the bullshit so I hit the school shit Got the degree and made these other motherfuckers see I am who I am I stand tall like God, worked hard Erected the sun, my name is Cise Starr You wanna talk about, then you wanna be me now Fell outta the sky, and rose outta the ground A new man, a new plan so God damn I got fans, live low to Japan
[Chorus]
Mama died so I had to get my own work done I couldn't sit around and be a bitch and not do shit Worked hard for everything that you see that I got You motherfuckers gettin mad but you walkin the block While I be up in my shop, writin my rhymes Got a call from Akine and we formed the group Cyne Now look at this now, a short time later We devastatin the area, showin the local haters we are, Not just a transitory pause Two niggas right here for the cause Cise Starr survive, divine universal Bitch I hurt you if you ever call this commercial, we thirsty
