I'm Here Lyrics

I'm on Slauson and Western

First day of the riots

Payless on fire

People running inside it

No justice no peace

For a Rodney King

On this day I witness

The power of fame

Started thinking bout ways

To enter the big stage

But not for getting chased

Or knock upside the brain

When the smoke cleared

It's worst than before

Everything burnt down

No more local stores

Talent show at Grandmas

I'm set to perform

Baggie jeans with an airbrush

Tee shirt on

Did the show and won

Then the thrill was gone

Lost it in the streets

Fast life money and clothes

A bat right out of hell

With people claiming their saved

On the wrong road

I have to make a change

I can write and produce

But I'm out playing games

With no time to spare or share

What's on my brain

I'm a star

I'm here to entertain

I'm a star

This is my stage

I'm a star

Anytime everyday

I'm a star

This my stage

Life is like a piano

In a way

What you get out

Depends on how you play

If it don't sound good

You won't get far

I'm playing and singing

Because I'm a star

I'm came along way

From that one shot gauge

Fourteen hanging out

Playing spades

Outside its active war zone

Full of gangs

A kid from school

Got smoked in 7th grade

After that Little Bernard

At the gas station dang

Next year cousin Lou

Every year add a name

The cycle is the same

I can't expect change

While playing the game

Not knowing its lame

Contemplating life

This all a bad dream

Second to none playing

On the way to Killer King

The pain brought me back

To reality quick

Blood on my shirt

Won't cry if that's it

If not I won't waste

Another day that I get

My word is my bond

Peace signs or fist

Got a smile on my face

When I'm posing for pics

Bringing light in the dark

Over snares and kicks

I'm a star

I'm here to entertain

I'm a star

This is my stage

I'm a star

Anytime everyday

I'm a star

This my stage

Life is like a piano

In a way

What you get out

Depends on how you play

If it don't sound good

You won't get far

I'm playing and singing

Because I'm a star
