Starlight (feat. Viro The Virus) (Black Snow 2008)
Verse 1
Yo, I light up the jar under the light of the stars And write a few bars until the silence dissolves Contemplatin' if I'm right or I'm wrong For dedicatin' most my time to holdin' mics in my palm My dream has been life long And tho' the finish line is still outta sight within my plight I fight on And I ain't singin' no sob stories of sad songs I stick to tellin' the total truth and that's all It's ironic when your rap's best thing And yet somehow your career is still fledglin' That's my predicament and it's perplexin' But instead of sweatin' it I just keep progression While waitin' for the stars to align in a moment in time when it's my moment to shine But until then I keep my eyes on the prize and try to survive night-after-night goin' for mine Becuz...
Chorus
In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time (It only takes a moment) It's the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by) In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time (It only takes a moment) It's the evening of another day and the end of mine (Just to find you're outta time)
Verse 2
And every evenin' at the end of another day I'm buckin' the system tryin' to figure out another way And budget what I gotta pay to phone a lifeline Hope rainy days don't last my whole lifetime (Please!) That's why the moonlight is mine When the moon starts to shine a feelin' moves up my spine Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows lone trooper on the road less traveled lone wolf, Sole controller, only soldier still in the battle Only slave on the boat who's really rowin' his paddle Still I sit in the saddle and dip from the hassles Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble I think bigger, connectin' the dots on the big picture like identifyin' the 'Big Dipper' Fueled by haters' comments And one day I promise that I'll light up the sky like Haley's Comet...
Chorus
In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time (It only takes a moment) It's the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by) Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears
Yo, I hope the struggle don't murder me before I find out how many people heard of V from Jersey to Germany And yeah I try to act fine as tho' all is well but at times I feel like the snowball in hell I'm tryin' to find my way, that's why it's all grunt work got no time for play, No time for games so while my time remains I won't wait like a time delay I say what I mean and mean what I say chasin' dreams night-by-night and day-after-day I met a broad at the titty bar called 'Starlight' becuz her eyes twinkled like little stars She had a smile that could shine for a million years I told her I got a trail of a trillion tears Ask if she could help me make it disappear and felt no fear, when she said this here, she said...
Chorus
In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time (It only takes a moment) It's the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by) Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears
