Starlight
Yeah, Snowgoons and Viro the Virus
Yo, I light up the jar under
The light of the stars and write a few bars
Until the silence dissolves
Contemplatin' if I'm right or I'm wrong
For dedicatin' most my time to
Holdin' mics in my palm
My dream has been life long
And though the finish line is still outta
Sight within my plight I fight on
And I ain't singin' no sob
Stories of sad songs
I stick to tellin' the total
Truth and that's all
It's ironic when your rap's best thing
And yet somehow your career
Is still fledglin'
That's my predicament and it's perplexin'
But instead of sweatin' it
I just keep progressin'
While waitin' for the stars to align
In a moment in time when
It's my moment to shine
But until then I keep my eyes on the prize
And try to survive night-after-night
Goin' for mine because
"In a matter
Of a moment lost till the end of time"
(It only takes a moment)
"It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine"
(For your life to fly by) "In a matter
Of a moment lost till the end of time"
(It only takes a moment)
"It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine"
(Just to find you're outta time)
And every evening at the end of another day
I'm buckin' the system tryin' to
Figure out another way
And budget what I gotta pay
To phone a lifeline
Hope rainy days don't last my whole lifetime
(Please) that's why the moonlight is mine
When the moon starts to shine a
Feelin' moves up my spine
Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows
Lone trooper on the road less traveled
Lone wolf, soul controller
Only soldier still in the battle
Only slave on the boat who's
Really rowin' his paddle
Still I sit in the saddle
And dip from the hassles
Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble
I think bigger
Connectin' the dots on the big picture
Like identifyin' the Big Dipper
Fueled by haters' comments and
One day I promise that I'll light up the
Sky like Halley's Comet
"In a matter
Of a moment lost till the end of time"
(It only takes a moment)
"It's 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 outta time)
I hope the struggle don't 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 a snowball in hell
I'm tryin' to find my way
That's why it's all grunt work
Got no time for play, no time for games
So while my time remains I won't
Wait like a time delay
I say what I mean and mean what I say
Chasin' 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
And felt no fear, when she said this here
She said
"In a matter
Of a moment lost till the end of time"
(It only takes a moment)
"It's 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 outta time)
