[Quincy Jones]
2
Starry night.. an unknown creation
3
Written by, and from the archives of Tupac Shakur
4
Dedicated to the memory of Vincent Van Gogh
5
A creative heart obsessed with satisfying
6
this dorment and uncaring society
7
You have given them the stars at night
8
and you have given them bountiful bouquets of sunflowers
9
but for you there's only contempt
10
Though you pour yourself into that frame and present it so proudly
11
this world could not accept your masterpieces, from the heart
12
So on that starry night, you gave to us and you took away from us
13
the one thing we never acknowledged, your life..
14
[Mac Mall]
15
Yeah, game laid down by Q, y'knawmsayin?
16
Vocals by Rasheeda, fly beat by QDIII
17
And flows by the M-A-C y'all, Mr. M-A-C Mall
18
[CHORUS: Rasheeda]
19
Starry night, your life
20
You gave to us, and took away from us
21
Starry night, your life
22
You gave to us, and took away from us
23
[Mac Mall]
24
Uhh, uhh.. watch me live my art; writin words from my soul in blood
25
I speak the truth on every thang I love
26
I'll probably sacrifice my life.. to send my message through mics
27
It's like a war drum callin soldiers at night
28
It's bigger than music I spit it straight from the heart
29
So it's cold n dark and deep like a universe, but nah don't start
30
It's for ya entertainment but it's my life y'all
31
And I can't rewind, fast forward, or press pause
32
But when you give your all, it's like the fans demand more
33
And after the tour I sit alone like before
34
/>When ya name is hot it's all love, the world is yours
35
But when you fall off, you get ignored
36
CHORUS
37
[Mac Mall]
38
You on the cover of da magazine, flossin on the TV screen
39
Toastin wit yo' champagne, playin life like a game
40
Loaded in the limousine, love to hear the fans scream
41
Swimmin wit the sharks now, ain't no love - money king
42
People got they hands out but ain't nobody lendin hands
43
Can you really blame dem for tryin to get what they can?
44
Late night, bright lights, lust n lies
45
And anythang goes under the Hollywood sign
46
Well you might lose ya soul and who knows what you find
47
But go ahead main we all wanna shine...
48
But go ahead main we all wanna shine...
49
CHORUS
50
[Mac Mall]
51
There you have it..
52
Y'know, when I was younger I prayed, to get in this game
53
Y'know to hold dis microphone in my hand
54
I asked the man upstairs, to let me rock a crowd one day
55
Y'know let people out there feel the way I feel through my music
56
Like my homeboy Tupac did fo' sho'
57
And he gave that to me
58
But he didn't he didn't he didn't let me know
59
about all the shady shit that's in, in between
60
you and yo' dream, y'know?
61
See it's more than the music, I spit it from the heart
62
So sometime it's cold n it's dark, but it's raw
63
And that's how I'ma bring it to you every time, y'know?
64
CHORUS (fades out)
Black Starry Night (Interlude)
