The Chosen Ones - I'm A Star lyrics

[Verse 1: Lord Shafiyq] Shafiyq is the Lord, that's all one must hear To know the dopest rhymes will enter their ears Yes I have to come to obtain, sustain, maintain My name and fame, I got to do my thing I had left, but now I return just like a boomerang No half-stepping, in 88 I'm taking full steps I had to get my pockets straight Cause I believe in making dollars by the duffel bags So heavy in my pockets it makes my Ballys drag When I step to a beat like the present one But light on my feet, cause I'm the fluorescent one Who came to entertain a battallion or platoon So give me some space and leave me some room ??? in Arabic, ??? in Hebrew The Lord in English, now only if we knew What I can do with the mic in my hand It wouldn't be no controversy about the Asiatic man Made from sand, or better yet dust The Lord Shafiyq is a must Cause I am a star [Verse 2: Lord Shafiyq] Yo, remember me, or did you lose your memory Or did I do a demo on your memo You're trying to say that you have amnesia I guess the rhymes was dope like anaesthesia On the rapping field I'm like Larry Csonka Not so easy to conquer A Tonka toy in a matter of lengths I will administer a hurting before you even start to think I wasn't born to be normal, or conformal On the mic like the others who are normal (Yo your sk**s are extraordinary) Thank you brother Safiy, that's why I'm the legendary Lord Shafiyq, who used to be Gerry Until I was taught, cause knowledge I sought and sought Until I reached my destination To find out my ancestors are the constellations The Big Dipper, the Little Dipper H2O sipper, had a dolphin named Flipper God bless his fins and God bless the wins That I achieve when I'm battling Rodents, which is star spelt backwards Rats, a scavenger who lacks this Style that fits me like a tube sock Like a frisbee, your record is tossed to the boondocks Because it doesn't gloss like mine A star ain't a star if a star don't shine So just read the Torah, and Sodom and Gomorrah I brung down the city's walls with my aura So knowledge the rhymes because the rhymes are hype Or better still, knowledge the light Cause I am a star [Verse 3: Lord Shafiyq] I got to extract, contract, adapt, like a uterus So you can move to this cause I ain't new to this Or that, and being anti-wack Makes it easy for a brother like me to rap Now when I tax I wax then I relax and max And sit back and watch the damage that I caused with smacks It's a fact I'm black, original at that A true descendant of Adam just to be exact If you comprehend the recitation, knowledge the situation You would know I'm from a very great nation of Kings and queens, prophets and pharaohs Way before BMs and Camaros Did ever exist, and no-one got blissed Whoever got high, their life did get kissed That's no lie, even now as a thug I've been arrested for impersonating a drug Cause I'm dope, so dope that from now on When I sweat, I sweat Methadone I must move on, like a nomad I won't go mad cause I'm so bad When I pick up a mic and recite I'll ignite like dynamite And I tempt a wind to write but he can't fight the light That I shed so watch his head take flight like a kite Then burst, when he reaches a certain height I got pull like gravity, I know you'd rather see The star shine instead of a sad emcee Pouring nonsense out of his cup This could mean shut up Cause on the mic is a star And on the scratch, DJ Doc is a star
