[Intro] [Studio room-tone, light keys in background] [Door opens, faint footsteps, beat clicks in] [Chorus] I’m a star, you just can’t see yet (yeah) Came from the dark, I still ain’t forget Mama in the front row, prayin’ I don’t fall But I’m built for this, I was made to stand tall I’m a star, you just can’t see yet (see yet) Writing my pain in a cheap headset Mama say “be careful,” I’ma prove her wrong and right Put her name in the lights, it’s our night [Verse 1] Hand-me-down shoes, but my dreams brand new Recording in a closet, made a booth outta glue Every “boy, sit down” turned fuel for the run Every tear she hid became fire in her son Late bus rides, head nod, pad full of scars Lunch money gone but I’m rich in these bars Mama, don’t worry, I’ma flip every scar Turn every bad day to a wish on a star (yeah) [Chorus] I’m a star, you just can’t see yet Came from the dark, I still ain’t forget Mama in the front row, prayin’ I don’t fall But I’m built for this, I was made to stand tall I’m a star, you just can’t see yet Writing my pain in a cheap headset Mama say “be careful,” I’ma prove her wrong and right Put her name in the lights, it’s our night
