Testo On a Star - Illy
Testo della canzone On a Star (Illy), tratta dall'album Cinematic: Uncut
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 with clout as I'm done
I reminisce, take it back to 2001
When I would rhyme 'til 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 met one man enough to stop him, nah
Let 'em try, they 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 a star
Man, I hit my twenties with a bang, still out on the grind
I thank God for the day that I found Crooked I
Hype man on the side, mixtapes nationwide
Between 2005 and 2009
Then to Obese, new ball game now that I'm signed
Put a long story short, was no doubt in my mind
Debut album of mine, something about it would shine
Then like that, radio smash it out every night
Let's go! I couldn't tell you what it felt like
Since thirteen, teachers swearing that my real life
Couldn't be what I dreamt, suddenly was within reach
If I stretch out to chase it could be realised
Huh, that's how The Chase got its name
29Th of the 10th, 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 a star
Don't mind me, I'm just tripping on how it turned out
Given the times where I could have been down for the count
Life knocked me round but I bounced back, rebounded and found
Focus, mind in the moment, 2000 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 affected by this music I created
It's dear 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 playing the Twenty
There's me for the last four years watching that rise exponentially
Man, I'm like "Wow, this what my whole life's been about"
So I thank y'all, look out 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 a 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 a star
