Shining Star

I'm the Eddie Kane of the Wu-Tang

Osiris with the fire extinguisher slang

Maintain this paradise on this earth

With the shut-the-fuck-up style for what the shit is worth

Watch a **** catch a purse, superhero **** die

Do my dirt, get away and multiply

The young entrepreneur, wisdom sharpshooter, dark colour

The black sire, smack fire out of the liar

My heart desire: speak truth till I inspire

The clever writer, live wire, never retire

The child teacher, loud speaker, earth seeker

The wind blower, to the seas, I'm like Noah

[Hook: Earth, Wind & Fire] (x2)

You're a shining star, no matter who you are

Shining bright to see what you can truly be

Uh, ayo, this masterpiece be exclusive but fascinating

Street knowledge education

Teach the seeds, son, no procrastinatin'

Ghetto learnin', graduatin'

Blessed be the ones with patience from the ancient

God bless the child that could hold his own

Little shorties don't trust a soul, it's all globe control

Earth, Wind & Fire, Sunz of Man and Wyclef

We connect like we Nynex to bring the intellect

We teach both sex, Brooklyn to Tibet

Male or female, who follow footsteps incorrect

I'm a shining star, beam of light from out far

Hits like these would burn holes through our reservoir

Espionage, let it be known we take charge

Come hard with the underground like camouflage

Keep it bizarre and mainstream for the young king

Though, if it don't, be for Clarence the Thirteenth

[Hook: Earth, Wind & Fire] (x2)

You're a shining star, no matter who you are

Shining bright to see what you can truly be

Escapin' the ghetto using the bass, tempo and treble

In the streets, we carry heavy metal, war with the Devil

Yo, son, life is reality, reality is life

People livin' trife, the world filled with strife

The Gods livin' right in this act, too many lack

Black on black crime, no vest, another victim laid to rest

It's been a long time to be certain

Sunz of Man Mahdees of wall searchin'

The heat is perkin', Earth, Wind & Fire burnin'

Sensation, yearnin' and learnin' situation

Wyclef, platinum hits, beast nation

It's what your life could truly be:

Anticipation

[Hook: Earth, Wind & Fire] (x2)

You're a shining star, no matter who you are

Shining bright to see what you can truly be

When I was young, I taught how to produce

The science of babies gettin' loose

I turn white boys to Springsteens Bruce

Black to school, to the Chinese I gave brews

I can't help it if my style is foggy, worst to boogie

Get ya high on my patio or come to see me movie

Girls, they walking on my dirt, I'm all in ya ear

I'll make your life plain, call Herc, love potion

For all my shining stars from here to L.A. to Mars

Growin' up in the ghetto, where times is hard

No matter who you are, you a child of God

Born as a king, not a slave for jobs

It's much more to life then to drink in bars

Large bank accounts and these fancy cars

Little King Tuts, they schemin' when they lust

They get handcuffed for diamond ring cuts

[Hook: Earth, Wind & Fire] (x2)

You're a shining star, no matter who you are

Shining bright to see what you can truly be
