Lasko - Northstar lyrics

[Verse 1: Malcolm London] Been a lot of places except for home Rocked a lot of stages, no stepping stone Skipped a lot of school, my lessons learned When cops k** us them courts adjourned Did I forget to mention that I'm from the westside? Where sunset 'round five, and quickly turn to dark skies Cross-eyed cross country, my city feel like apartheid Where showin' love feel like a part time job [Pre-Hook: Maceo Haymes] Kids can't go to the playground Came to Chicago from Capetown Young Nelson Mandela with a cape on Straight from K-town [Hook: Malcolm London] I don't wanna go right now I just wanna learn right now Northstar from the westside Wear a lot of hats, but they don't have a side Pick a sign in my afterlife I'm like, how you gonna change the world? (How you gonna change the world?) (It's already here) (Where you gonna place your bets?) How you gonna change a world that's already ended? Where you gonna place your bets when you're so far from winning? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right? How you gonna win if you ain't right? You ain't right, you ain't right [Verse 2: Vic Mensa] They tell me Vic go save the world Save your money, don't sell your soul Save your family, don't save yourself Dropped outta school, saved by the bell Just a hot boy trying to make it out of hell Locked in a cell trying to make it out of jail In 360, trying to make it out a deal Industry slave trying to make it out the field But we in the house like Will They tryna kick us out like Uncle Phil Did Jazzy Jeff, land on the steps Next time I step hand on a nine mill' A man can't eat then a man gon' steal A man can't dream then a man gon' drill And scream GD till the world blow up now We're just waiting on the world [Pre-Hook: Maceo Haymes] Kids can't go to the playground Came to Chicago from Capetown Young, Nelson Mandela with a cape on Straight from K-town [Hook: Malcolm London] I don't wanna go right now I just wanna learn right now Northstar from the westside Wear a lot of hats but they don't have a side Pick a sign in my afterlife I'm like How you gonna change the world? (How you gonna change the world?) (It's already ending) (Where you gonna place your bets?) How you gonna change a world that's already ended? Where you gonna place your bets When you're so far from winning? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right then? How you gonna win if you ain't right? How you gonna win if you ain't right? You ain't right, you ain't right [Verse 3: Malcolm London] Call me Malcolm X from Alcatraz Pulled an exodus from out the trash Did a lot of sh**, don't like to brag Teaching for the kids who failed the cla** Change starts by putting first whose last Take a couple steps and learn to dance Damn, damn, damn, damn Martin paint a Martin-dreamland Just tryna' learn to be a man Just tryna' learn to be a man Startin' with myself, I've got a plan Put your hands up if you with it (How you gonna change the world?) Malcolm X-caliber, change your sword Black power ranger, mighty morphing dinosaur Better take your time, it's the only thing you can afford [Sample] How you gonna change the world? It's already ending Where you gonna place your bets When you're so far from winning?
