[Verse 1]
At times I wish that I could get away
Take me back again now to those better days
Do it for the kids just like Yeezy at the VMAs
Now we try to get rich, balling like the NBA
Couldn't buy me out this b**h, not for sale no layaway
Look, the days pa** and this world got me shook
Got some cops k**ing kids the TV paint them as crooks
And I know our generation barely opens a book
All we care about is Kim Ks looks that sh**s crazy
Still I know we're all just trying live and find a destiny
Trying to make it all work I need to find a recipe cuz
This ill sh** really doesn't have a remedy
They couldn't k** my soul no matter what the type of weaponry is
f** a hater trying to say how to live
This life is a blessing I'm giving thanks for the gift
And so we shine with those ultra light beams in our genes right
And when the song plays everybody sings like
[Chorus]
I know that they want me now
I know they want me falling down
Stars were meant to shine
These places on my mind
Will they be there when I
When I come around
[Verse 2] [Indie Thot]
And now we back up on this properly
Living large and drive cars across the board monopoly
f** you, pay me, that's my only policy
My problem is I'm full of pride and stick to my philosophy
I rarely smoke but know n***as who roll a lot of weed
Afraid to knock out won't and wake up that's that Apollo Creed
But I'm seeing clearly now, finally my eyes are open
Now I got my visions set, tell n***as I'm tryna focus
See myself across the seas, sell my sh** across the oceans
Hear my voice around the globe, new doors that I'm tryna open
Dudes who turned to selling dope, hoes who turned to prostitution
Nothing left to give em hope, guess that rap is my solution
I'm from a good hood, momma helped me dodge the shooting
Never been within the range but for the but Rover bulletproof it
Still been through that fire though, and I got the scars to prove it
Imma steal the entire show and maybe we can start a movement
[Chorus]
I know that they want me now
I know they want me falling down
Stars were meant to shine
These places on my mind
Will they be there when I
When I come around
[Verse 3]
Look how this music came and saved my life
Too many times I used to pray at night
Way too much all in my head
Sometimes I just can't say it right
They tell us that life's a game and I've been trying to play it right
This here is my blank slate watch me as I paint it right
So, I know what glistens ain't gold or what it seems like
But I've been Trying to turn dreams into my real life
And so I speak through my soul I'm like an old land mine
See I've been waiting to blow and sh** I still might
Now it's place to place devil matching face to face
Look at how we're looking at color instead of human
Race
Just chasing capital nobody wants that lower case
We hope it never rains shining hoping for better days
So hold on I'll make it all come true
And all of those that show me love they could all come too
I couldn't tell you where I'm going but these places I've been
Are just the start of the story so let the journey begin
[Bridge]
I know places we can go
Places
I know places we can go babe
Babe
I know places we can go
Places we can go
I know places we can go babe
Can we get away?
[Chorus]
I know
Places we can go
Stars were meant to shine
These places on my mind
Will they be there when I
When I come around
Stars were meant to shine
These places on my mind
Will they be there when I
When I come around
Stars were meant to shine
These places on my mind
Will they be there when I
When I come around
