REKS - Like A Star lyrics

Introduction (Reks)

Yea, Thats good static, man

You gutta slow that shit down for a second, man

They gutta listen to the words, man

Verse 1 (Reks)

Check,

I eat any instrumental,

But my sons can’t eat beats, So do I feed the seed or the mental

SUV or the rental. Good job or the lottery

Rental in the hood or beach property

Nothing stopping me, but the man in the mirror starring solemnly

Like the whole worlds got it out for me

Sorry for thyself like, weath will never be a part of me

I give in every artery, but arteries don't clock-in

Arteries just clock-out, grim reaper knocking

The devil won’t get knocked-out, all this cock blocking

I think of Pac and how when, he died in his prime

Like damn, what we need most is time

We dribble or we rush for the first down,

Scribble in the verse now,

Rhyme the track to remember how it ends, hurt sound

The Earth round, some thought it was flat, will I get credit, When them kids look back

Can I win some?

Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample)

I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are

Like a star

Since music's expressions of life

Damn I wish I took more time to write

(Reks "filling my notebook")

(repeat - Once)

Verse 2 (Reks)

Yea, Yea, Check, Yo,

Each day that go by

I think about my,

Homies in the sky, gotta ask God why

Why you let the love die, why the hate crimes rise.

That makes moms eyes water, eyes on the prise

Sized tend apon the concrete

Walking on the lines, with street signs, me crying

Peddlers time settling beef,

I'm minding the sheets, rhyming the beats

Trying to reach, for magazines, not the ones for the heat

I'm talking XXL cover expel, brother real educated

Kings spitter, still a street dweller

do you,

Seek hell or heavens halo's?

Hello to deamons or the angels

Love I seek, I am thankful

Cause god grant you life, to live to the fullest

The devil pull us through gutters, slums killing for colour

Bullets cover the young, slums lost to mothers

Who suffers bodies below, souls rose above us

Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample)

I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are

Like a star

Since music's expressions of life

Damn I wish I took more time to write

(Reks "filling my notebook")

(repeat - Once)

Bridge (Reks)

We are who we are, we fall, we crawl through it

Gazing at the stars from a far judas

Plotting demise on my rise, my eyes scour the skies

Look for heaven in accumulous clouds beside

My enemies friends can be shadey

Fuck a club getting wavy, Shit, I got a baby

My baby's now a toddler, crazy,

Holler when I touch down, maybe

24/7 on 'air waves' baby

To follow, be all I can be, motto

Cause i know the trap of the beast, So I avoid

Rap over beats, paranoid like, I should just be employed

A job might do me well,

Hobby's no good for bills

Rapping my hobby, Bobby Marley

had a vision to spread love, I try to rise above

I hated though, that my niggers can’t make it too

Chorus (Nas - Book of Rhymes Sample)

I get upset cause I just wanna be treated the way you are

Like a star

Since music's expressions of life

Damn I wish I took more time to write

(Reks "filling my notebook")

(repeat - Once)
