It's amazing how out of my life I've made short a long story.

I came a long way out of bullshit, but I asked for no glory.

I came a long way from the pavement on the block stacking dough, and on a long day there

would be a raid and business was slow.

How many times must I see a victim losing a life?

How many days must I hustle for my hustle get right?

How many days must the children duck when bullets take flight?

How would a gang act when one of their owners die in the night?

Until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

I wanna be, until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

It's amazing how hard times they come and they go.

In the ghetto, these ghetto days we go with the flow.

I spent my whole life hustling, grinding the streets, and when hard times came I regrouped

and stood on my feet.

When will it be safe for kids to go outside again?

When will the day come for us to love and embrace a friend?

I travel all around the world working, getting it right.

Because the world is a ghetto and the ghetto's my life.

Until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

I wanna be, until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

It's amazing how mothers in ghettos hold their heads high, and when times get too hard they

just look to the sky.

Pour out some drink cause the homie would've been 30 today, but tragedy struck at 14 and

took him away.

I want a new life where families don't have to cry no more.

I know kids in the ghetto listening nocturnal.

Until the day I get all my peoples off of the streets.

I'ma be here putting it down for L .A. City.

Until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

I wanna be, until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

I wanna be, until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

I wanna be, until that day, I wanna be right where you are.

I wanna hold you in my arms.

I wanna be your shining star.

Leroy, you over there shittin' on yourself again.

You don't know about the Kush shit.

I know what the fuck it is.

You over there stankin' and shit, boy?

Hell naw.

Play a goddamn song, stanky motherfucker.
