Lyrics Written in the Stars - Joey Bada$$

So if you gon' be great you gon' have to be able to go over a lot of experimentation
You feel me?
I said it, let's go
Come on

Turn my vocals up
Bring my vocals more to the front
Uh, yeah
This shit is like
Everythin' and more, you could ask in a single verse (thank you Lord)
You gotta remember, no matter where you at
Shit could always be worse (power of the tongue)
Toast for the better, little better

Men lie, women lie, numbers stay stuck
All my opps unified, I wish 'em all luck
Nobody's untouchable, still I never been touched (never)
Ain't no chinks in my armor not even a scuff
I scour the whole game in these Cartier buffs
How the fuck could I complain? My nigga just look at us

Trips down memory lane, we took the bus (right)
Now we getting escorts to plane, we way up (Haha)
Yesterday's price and tomorrow's gotta pay up
Say my stock like a teenage cock, it stays up
Knowing that my time is borrowed, so I say prayed up (uh)
My pocket got ackus, I got my weight up (weight)

Overtime I learned to move smarter with this paper (facts)
'Cause when I had my daughter yo' that was the wake up
529B for my lil' baby (uh huh)
Indigo Rain already six figures in her name, shit crazy

What's the aftermath? God, niggas get shady (uh-huh)
We gon' see who gets the last laugh, they tryna play me
My lifestyle a movie, I'm feeling like Scorsese
Sexy like Swayze, just a bit more wavy (uh, right)
Catch me in the 'Cedes, dirty dancin' with your lady (right)
She do it like Brady, really, how could you blame me?
Niggas can't relate so they hate me (uh, huh)
That's why I keep the Glock by the waist, it's no safety

Lately, gotta stay dangerous 'cause niggas taking aim at us
Paparazzi tryna spot me sloppy on the cameras (uh-huh)
But I see the bigger picture, I see the parameters (right)
And anyone who beg to differ, I smoke 'em like cannabis

You amateurs can't handle us, trust me they ain't finna blow
They just really fans of us, they just think I didn't know
I see them hide behind the critics and the analysts
They get to talking scandalous when they ain't understanding us

But I'm seasoned veteran (right), always get the upper hand (yeah)
Niggas going nowhere fast doing the running man
Shotgun in place with they feet up on the brakes
Tryna expand but stay the same size like rubber bands

In the meantime I rose like the son of man
Shine like stunna man, looked out for all pros
Forever my brother them, even if they all became cons
In the end, I would do it all again
No hesitation, they talk, we patient
Brought me many revelations that l'd be taking
On this parth that I'm blazing
This top position that I'm now embracin'
Could give a fuck about the praising, bitch, I know I'm cold

I'm half man, half amazing, I defy the odds
Leader of my generation, down to die for the cause
We all fighting the the wars, hiding invisible scars r(ight)
Legend in the making, this bars was written in the stars

Yeah, legend in the making, these bars was written in the stars (stars)
Legend in the making, this bars was written in the stars (stars)
God
Grateful for this abundance that we receive
Every day that we breathe
For the new opportunities, new lessons, new blessing, no stressin', yeah
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Right, that's right
Men lie, women lie, numbers stay stuck

We might get hurt (right)
Hmm
Do this all with the ease
Move with godspeed

Cheers my niggas, can y'all hear me out there?
Can y'all hear me out there
It's all right now
Remember I told y'all, it all right now
It used to be us all fucked up but nah, it's all right
Yeah, let's go up, congratulations
To my little brother, the baddest, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, you in your bop now kid
Ayo, they never be like us y'all

Ayo we come from that dirt, that fuckin'
Concrete, you know what I'm sayin'?
New York niggas gotta start actin' like New York niggas again
It's alright everybody get lost you know what I'm sayin'?

Congratulations to the top, never stop
Love
