And so we shine
Shine like stars
In the sky
This is ours
We shine like stars
We shine like stars
We shine like stars
We shine like stars
You and I
We shine like stars
In the sky
We shine like stars

Baby girl, we too busy
We do work for the city
You? One of the few that vibe with me
And if they can’t catch up…what a pity
Now, don’t get me wrong because I’m gritty
Raised to be blunt as hell
A spade is a spade and nothing else
The game don’t change so I changed myself
And if the rains don’t come then we chase the wells
Now, that’s logic. Watch it. Take some notes
You’re progress lost if you shame the soul
But you’re straight, frankly, you break the mold
And you worth it. You hold your weight in gold
And there’s no (there’s no) hesitation
Unlike the last girl who left me waiting
Run by this fast world, head for greatness
Make all that’s complicated look basic
You got goals and determined to get them
Got naysayers but continue to debt them
I’ve caught hate. I forgive and forget them
They lose against us the minute we bet them
Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself
Back to the dance I asked you for
Lovely, you’ll never forget what is felt
If they only knew what we have in store

Baby, just let go of your body and don’t care who’s there to see
Drop that wall and lose inhibitions. Just pretend it’s you and me
If they watch then let them because we both here just busy minding ours
Best if we pretend it’s our last day here so we can shine like stars

We use each other. Remove each other
From all that smothers. Life undercover
I know you a mother. I’m still reluctant
Life hasn’t gone my way so why rush it
Long term goals don’t fit in my budget
I’m too proud to every try crutches
Walk my own path
Stack my own cash
Laugh. Don’t hold back…move in stride
25 years and still I’m trying
Roll with the punches and still I’m fighting
Hold the pressure and relieve it crying
Tears don’t fit with the man that I am
Too damn strong to be breaking down
Too damn smart not to change the pace
Too damn long since I faced the crowd
But not too far from a full erase
So, pardon me because I’m taken a back
We hold the world like it ain’t gonna crack
At this moment I am facing a fact
That our time here sure won’t last
We will crash and we will burn
And it won’t matter what we learned
Drop your guard and close your eyes
Let’s take the world like we’re both surprised

(hook)

Shine like stars…stars! (8x)
