Lyle Leduff - Star Is Born lyrics

[Verse 1] On this road to riches I done lost young n***as who never grew So if somebody gotta die tonight it's better you Real n***as still on top, I'm living proof The whole world know bout duke, f** is you? Money matter most all I know and ever do I frontline and dump nines but mine never spook Every time I hopped in the booth I spit the truth Now every time I hop out the coupe it's missing roof [Bridge] See what it take for a gangster to get his due for painting pictures so vivid blind n***as get the view These n***as wanna walk like me but don't fit the shoe That's why I never mind the bullsh** and get the loot (woo) [Verse 2] First I found a way I found a purpose Still a work in progress never claim to be perfect I'm still hidin' pain with all the sh** that's on the surface This is gods work I hope you haters pray for mercy If n***as only knew, the road I took to get here and sh** I had to do I said if n***as only knew, the sacrifices made and the sh** that we been through They'd probably understand why I got to be the man and why I need a hundred grand in my motherf**in hand They don't want me to win momma I don't give a damn I don't give a damn N-no ma'am I told myself it's your time No more time for time wasted Success is so close right now.. you can taste it Pardon me, pardon my French, pardon my statements And forgive me if I'm wrong for what I'm saying.. but I gotta say it f** the rules and f** the regulations According to those.. I wouldn't make it.. but b**h I made it f** the rules and f** the regulations Wasn't no handouts, this sh** here from dedication Aggressive bout my payment rather get up off my a** and go chase it instead of waitin They wonder why I barely get sleep and I'm so impatient I'm shell shocked; got homies who resting for hesitation [Outro] I went from down bad and broke to a rich n***a I worked too hard to be worried bout these b**h n***as I went from down bad a broke to a rich n***a Everyday a star is born now make a wish n***a Everyday a star is born now make a wish n***a Everyday a star is born
