On a Star (Bonus Track)

(album: Cinematic - 2013)

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 [?]
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, knowing critics would come
But I ain't one man enough to stop him, nah
Let 'em try, they're too late, rocket's in flight
So I thank y'all, look up at the sky and I say

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

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
Put out Long Story Short, was no doubt on 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 at 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
Signalled a new rise, take off, rocket's in flight
So I thank y'all, look up at the sky and I say

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

And don't mind me
I'm just tripping 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 making it?
I get that it's played, I hope you dig each relationship
I made's been effected 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, ditching hospital to rock a gig
Can't walk, sure as shit ain't forgot how to spit
Twenty-three [?], there's me for the last four years
Watching 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

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
