Intro: No matter what happens, I gotta make it there and mo matter how much potential you have, you're still a nobody Verse 1: I grew up where the parents see their kids dying Time flyin, 3 am you hear that damn sirens Mama in her robe, nosy neightbors in the window They say he blew that cartridge like an old Nintendo The police say he's fine, says he gonna make it The coroners arived, I guess he didn't make it His lil' brother was watching, they asked him who did it He said, he had dreads and he was dark skinned But the really wasn't helping, man, that's half the city He said please don't leave, I'm scared that they'll come back and get me But they promised he'll be okay, he looked away 3 days passed with nightmares of seeing his face His mama say that he's brave, but he know it's a lie So everything he's up late, blow his nose while he cry Hoping he could have said sorry for his clothes that he wear first time in a church, hands in the air, thinking to himself Hook: So I'm just reaching fro the stars(the stars) I can't wait til I get there(get there) Why don't nobody wanna help me(help me) Cause I don't need noone's help(no help) So I'm just reahing for the stars(the stars) I just know I have to make it there(make it there) Wwhy don't nobody wanna help me(help me) Cause I don't need noone's help, no no no(naw naw naw) Verse 2: I woke up to the sound of my ringtone I voice crying, yeling, man damn he gone Calm down foe, who is you talking 'bout you can tell he threw his phone and he aint talking now At the repass, we're all starring at each other The little girl screams out, I miss my brother He had dreams of being an actor, man that moved me Crazy how he was killed, on the way to do his first movie Never knew how it happened so I finally asked Somebody tried to rob the store but they didn't have the cash In the mirror, he was spotted hiding in the back The robber sneaking up from his side, the owner grabbed his gun and blast The war is on, shells breaking glass, he tried to breakfast But the owner couldn't tell who he was shotting at Pronouced dead, his best friend seen it all, he was there He was scared, talking to God, hands in the air, thinking to himself Hook: So I'm just reaching fro the stars(the stars) I can't wait til I get there(get there) Why don't nobody wanna help me(help me) Cause I don't need noone's help(no help) So I'm just reahing for the stars(the stars) I just know I have to make it there(make it there) Wwhy don't nobody wanna help me(help me) Cause I don't need noone's help, no no no(naw naw naw) So I'm just reahing for the stars I just know I have to make it there Outro: It's like even in the crowd of 1,000, I still feel alone And everybody acting like they're down for you right But when you really need them, they got 1,00 excuses, ya feel me While we're out here acting like we're ready to die We need to stand together to help each other try to fight to like Ya feel me We all got dreams we want to accomplish And hating on each other, it aint gonna get us there quicker, man So if I don't make it through this day Just understand I was trying to make it man Sarting to feel like I don't need nobody's help you know Don't we get tired of regreting stuff man We only got one life You can keep hating on me if you want I bet I make it there
