On a Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fuck a fairy-tale, man, that ain't how it begun I wasn't dope or a king, never touted as one Started out as a chump, no one with clout hasn't done I reminisce, take it back to 2001 When I would rhyme till the last breath out of my lungs Said I'd make it, swear to God, never doubted it once I was out on the run when it came down to the crunch Was as much as me as for my folks to be proud of their son And I did, I worked day and night Less of a hobby than a way of life 'Cause from the very first moment that the stage lights Hit my eyes, wasn't any option but to make the climb Up the ladder from the bottom, knowin' critics would come But I ain't met one man enough to stop him, nah Let 'em try, they too late, rocket's in flight So I thank y'all, look up at the sky, and I say [Chorus] If I could wish upon a star If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could live forever, then forever I would Forever I would, forever I would If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could wish upon star [Verse 2] Man, I hit my twenties with a bang Still out on the grind I thank God for the day that I found Crooked Eye Hype man on the side, mixtapes nation-wide Between 2005 and 2009 Then to Obese, new ball game now that I'm signed Put a long story short, was no doubt in my mind Debut album of mine, something about it would shine Then like that, radio smash it out every night Let's go (Let's go), I couldn't tell you what it felt like Since thirteen, teachers swearing that my real-life Couldn't be what I dreamt, suddenly Was within reach if I stretch, I just chase it, could be realised Ha, that's how The Chase got its name Twenty-ninth of the tenth, 2010 was the date That signalled a new rise, take off, rocket's in flight So I thank y'all, look up at the sky, and I say [Chorus] If I could wish upon a star If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could live forever, then forever I would Forever I would, forever I would If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could wish upon star [Verse 3] And don't mind me I'm just trippin' on how it turned out Given the times where I coulda been down for the count Life knocked me round, but I bounced back, rebounded and found focus Mind in the moment, two-thousand-and-now The future's bright, so who wants another song about makin' it? I get that it's played, I hope you dig each relationship I made's been affected by this music I created Steer to me, bring it back, walk with me, take a trip Fourteen in backyard cyphers Seventeen, trembling on stage, first timer Twenty-one, ditchin' hospital to rock a gig Can't walk, sure as shit ain't forgot how to spit Twenty-three playin' [?], there's me For the last four years, watchin' that rise exponentially, man I'm like, "Wow", that's what my whole life's been about So I thank y'all, look up at the crowd, and I say [Chorus] If I could wish upon a star If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could live forever, then forever I would Forever I would, forever I would If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could wish upon star If I could wish upon a star If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could live forever, then forever I would Forever I would, forever I would If I could live forever, then forever I would stay Forever I would stay exactly where we are If I could wish upon star
