Starlight

Yo I light up the jar under the light of the stars

And write a few bars until the silence dissolves

Contemplating if Im right or Im wrong

For dedicating most of my time to holding mics in my palm

My dream has been life-long

And though the finish line is still out of sight

Within my plight I fight on

And I aint singing no sob stories or sad songs

I stick to telling the total truth and thats all

Its ironic when youre raps best thing

And yet somehow your career is still fledgling

Thats my predicament and its perplexing

But instead of sweating it I just keep progressing

While waiting for the stars to align

And the moment in time when its my moment to shine

But until then I keep my eyes on the prize

And try to survive night after night going for mine because

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)

Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)

Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (Just to find youre outta time)

And every evening at the end of another day

Im bucking the system trying to figure out another way

And budget what I gotta pay to phone a lifeline

Hope rainy days dont last my whole lifetime

Thats why the moonlight is mine

When the moon starts to shine a feeling moves up my spine

Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows

Lone trooper on the road less travelled

Lone wolf, sole controller, only soldier still in the battle

Only slave on the boat whos really rowing his paddle

Still I sit in the saddle and dip from the hassles

Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble

I think bigger, connecting the dots on the big picture

Like identifying the Big Dipper

Fueled by haters comments and one day I promise

That Ill light up the sky like Halleys Comet

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)

Its 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 (It only takes a moment)

Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)

Yo hope the struggle dont murder me

Before I find out how many people heard of V from Jersey to Germany

And yeah I try to act fine as though all is well

But at times I feel like the snowball in Hell

Im trying to find my way

Thats why its all grunt work, got no time for play

No time for games so while my time remains

I wont wait like a time delay

I say what I mean and mean what I say

Chasing dreams night by night and day after day

I met a broad at the titty bar called Starlight

Because 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

Asked if she could help me make it disappear

Then felt no fear when she said this here, she said

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)

Its 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 (It only takes a moment)

Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)
