rate me

[40 seconds of instrumental to start]<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Get 'em up high - okay, yeah<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

Go all-star, and get down for yours<br />

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours<br />

You got the, Roots crew with the sound of course<br />

High, lift 'em up high, okay<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

When that adrenaline get in they system<br />

It get 'em out on a quest for stardom, could be a motherfuckin problem<br />

In Philly, Cincinatti, Los Angeles or Harlem<br />

Kids call theyself killers let they hammers do the talkin<br />

Don't even know the meaning of life, ain't seen a thing<br />

And you dream of floodin the scenery with, llello and greenery<br />

But for now, you stickin her with the heavy machinery<br />

Wonder how, you lift it up, be only 17<br />

And like e'rybody he wanna shine, young brothers on the grind<br />

Holdin somethin in they spine, "Bowling for Columbine"<br />

Stressin to me how it's all about a dollar sign<br />

Dig the way you out of line, out of sight and out of mind<br />

Up against the clock and damn near out of time<br />

"The Tipping Point" has arrived, and that's the bottom line<br />

To all my peoples that's stars, it's our time to shine<br />

Let's get 'em up high, c'mon<br />

<br />

[Chorus - 2X]<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Yo, ain't it strange how the newspapers play with the language<br />

I'm deprogrammin y'all with uncut slang shit<br />

I know some peoples in the party armed and dangerous<br />

Twist some cool champagne, I'm goin through changes<br />

A grown-ass man, I done paid my dues<br />

Learn the rules lil' homey, you could be one too<br />

Niggaz know, ain't no tellin what he gon' do<br />

But recognize young bruh, I'ma do it for you<br />

You know why? We all stars and we highly evolved<br />

Hip-Hop, it's not pop like Kylie Minogue<br />

If it bang, them gettin-busy brothers probably involved<br />

In the game, where e'rybody got a shottie to draw<br />

I guess you probably a thug, you boss ballin or what?<br />

I can't call it man, I got the ladies fallin in love<br />

Cause handsome, intelligent, tough - I'm all the above<br />

I know you knew it it's the movement<br />

Groove to it while you doin it up<br />

<br />

[Chorus - 2X w/ minor variations]<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Introducin the band you gotta see to believe<br />

He got the mic in his hand, so keep the heat up your sleeve<br />

It's Black Thought, he rockin sharp so the speakers'll bleed<br />

I run a triathalon, you wouldn't see me fatigued<br />

I'm a star, and maybe y'all should cop somethin to be<br />

Or trade some of y'all equipment in for somethin you need<br />

Cause it's a, lot of bullshit floodin the scene<br />

Where e'rybody's a star, and hot shit is few and far between<br />

We lose the grip of what, garbage mean<br />

Shorties wanna be theyself, I know it's hard to be<br />

Don't wanna do the Ruben Studdard and come off less threatenin<br />

Keepin it real'll kill you if you end up lettin it<br />

Ain't it blowin your mind how the game all in line<br />

Now the best, to the rest, we fin' to end up settin it<br />

I'd tell you that I was a veteran but it's evident<br />

You act like you want it, you gon' end up gettin it<br />

<br />

[Chorus - 3X w/ minor variations]<br />

<br />

"Everybody is a star.."<br />

<br />

[echoes and fades into an instrumental that ends the song]
