Star - The Roots

Get 'em up high
Okay
Yeah
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Lift 'em up high
Okay
When that adrenaline get in they system
It get 'em out on a quest for stardom
Could be a motherf**kin' problem in philly
Cincinatti
Los angeles or harlem
Kids call theyself killers let they hammers do the talkin'
Don't even know the meaning of life
Ain't seen a thing
And you dream of floodin' the scenery with
Llello and greenery
But for now
You stickin' her with the heavy machinery
Wonder how
You lift it up
Be only 17
And like e'rybody he wanna shine
Young brothers on the grind
Holdin' somethin' in they spine
Bowling for columbine
Stressin' to me how it's all about a dollar sign
Dig the way you out of line
Out of sight and out of mind
Up against the clock and d**n near out of time
The tipping point has arrived
And that's the bottom line
To all my peoples that's stars
It's our time to shine
Let's get 'em up high
C'mon
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Lift 'em up high
Okay
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Lift 'em up high
Okay
Yo
Ain't it strange how the newspapers play with the language
I'm deprogrammin' y'all with uncut slang s**t
I know some peoples in the party armed and dangerous
Twist some cool champagne
I'm goin' through changes
A grown a*s man
I done paid my dues
Learn the rules lil' homey
You could be one too
N***az know
Ain't no tellin' what he gon' do
But recognize young bruh
I'ma do it for you
You know why
We all stars and we highly evolved
Hip hop
It's not pop like kylie minogue
If it bang
Them gettin' busy brothers probably involved
In the game
Where everybody got a shottie to draw
I guess you probably a thug
You boss ballin' or what
I can't call it man
I got the ladies fallin' in love
'Cause handsome
Intelligent
Tough
I'm all the above
I know you knew it it's the movement
Groove to it while you doin' it up
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Get 'em up high
C'mon
Go all star
And get down for yours

Introducin' the band you gotta see to believe
He got the mic in his hand
So keep the heat up your sleeve
It's black thought
He rockin' sharp so the speakers'll bleed
I run a triathalon
You wouldn't see me fatigued
I'm a star
And maybe y'all should cop somethin' to be
Or trade some of y'all equipment in for somethin' you need
'Cause it's a
Lot of b******t floodin' the scene
Where everybody's a star
And hot s**t is few and far between
We lose the grip of what
Garbage mean
Shorties wanna be theyself
I know it's hard to be
Don't wanna do the ruben studdard and come off less threatenin'
Keepin' it real'll kill you if you end up lettin' it
Ain't it blowin' your mind how the game all in line
Now the best
To the rest
We fin' to end up settin' it
I'd tell you that I was a veteran but it's evident
You act like you want it
You gon' end up gettin' it
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Lift 'em up high
C'mon
Go all star
And get down for yours
To the ladies in the house
Be proud of yours
You got the
Roots crew with the sound of course
High
Get 'em up high
Okay

Everybody wants to shine
