Everybody is a star

Everybody is a star

Get 'em up high

(Everybody is a star)

Okay, yeah

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, lift 'em up high, okay

(Everybody is a star)

When that adrenaline get in they system

It get 'em out on a quest for stardom

Could be a mother****in' problem

In Philly, Cincinnati, Los Angeles or Harlem

Kids call theyself killers, let they hammers do the talkin'

Don't even know the meaning of life, ain't seen a thing

And you dream of floodin' the scenery with, yeyo and greenery

But for now, you stickin' her with the heavy machinery

Wonder how, you lift it up, be only seventeen

And like everybody he wanna shine, young brothers on the grind

Holdin' somethin' in they spine, "Bowling for Columbine"

Stressin' to me how it's all about a dollar sign

Dig the way you out of line, out of sight and out of mind

Up against the clock and damn near out of time

"The Tipping Point" has arrived, and that's the bottom line

To all my peoples that's stars, it's our time to shine

Let's get 'em up high, come on

(Everybody is a star)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, lift 'em up high, okay

(Everybody is a star)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, lift 'em up high, oh, yo

(Everybody is a star)

Yo, ain't it strange how the newspapers play with the language

I'm deprogrammin' y'all with uncut slang shit

I know some peoples in the party armed and dangerous

Twist some cool champagne, I'm goin' through changes

A grown-ass man, I done paid my dues

Learn the rules lil' homie, you could be one, too

Niggas know, ain't no tellin' what he gon' do

But recognize young bruh, I'ma do it for you

You know why? We all stars and we highly evolved

Hip-Hop, it's not pop like Kylie Minogue

If it bang, them gettin'-busy brothers probably involved

In the game, where everybody got a shotty to draw

I guess you probably a thug, you boss ballin' or what?

I can't call, it man, I got the ladies fallin' in love

'Cause handsome, intelligent, tough, I'm all the above

I know you knew it it's the movement

Groove to it while you doin' it up

(Everybody is a star)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, lift 'em up high, come on

(Everybody is a star)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, get 'em up high, come on

(Everybody is a star)

Introducing the band you gotta see to believe

He got the mic in his hand, so keep the heat up your sleeve

It's Black Thought, he rockin' sharp so the speakers'll bleed

I run a triathlon, you wouldn't see me fatigued

I'm a star, and maybe y'all should cop somethin' to be

Or trade some of y'all equipment in for somethin' you need

'Cause it's a, lot of bullshit floodin' the scene

Where everybody's a star, and hot shit is few and far between

We lose the grip of what garbage mean

Shorties wanna be theyself, I know it's hard to be

Don't wanna do the Ruben Studdard and come off less threatenin'

Keepin' it real'll kill you if you end up lettin' it

Ain't it blowin' your mind how the game all in line?

Now the best, to the rest, we finna end up settin' it

I'd tell you that I was a veteran but it's evident

You act like you want it, you gon' end up gettin' it

(Everybody is a star)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, lift 'em up high, come on

(I love you for who you are)

Go all-star, and get down for yours

To the ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, get 'em up high, okay

(Ever catch a falling star?)?

Go all-star, and get down for yours

Young ladies in the house, be proud of yours

You got the, Roots crew with the sound, of course

High, uh-huh, high, come on

Everybody is a star
