Star Time Lyrics

[Intro: James Brown & Kanye West]
So now ladies and gentlemen it is star time (Yeah, uh)
Are you ready for star time?

[Verse 1: Kanye West & James Brown]
Life of the rich and gorgeous
Everything is on the house like the Mortgage
Up to my dad I would've been aborted
Then it would've been a real nigga shortage (Star time!)
[?] a nigga order
Wifey took her Sprinter back because of Tracy Morgan
In my own home I a tourist
Can't even unpack man, another flight this boring (Star time!)
Automatic toilet, just flush
Came on her titties like Morris, Chestnut

[Hook: Anderson .Paak, Kanye West, Rick James]
Yeah, I know you can see me now
It's like a bootleg feature now, I wanna be whatchu speakin' bout
Yeah, yeah, yuh
I hope you can see me now
It's like a bootleg feature now, I wanna be whatchu speakin' bout
Yeah
(Don't you play, no) (Don't play with ya!)

[Verse 2: IDK & James Brown]
Yeah, Living life through these rose-colored lenses
I'm finding every other shade so offensive

I'm offended you broke, cause I'm pretentious
Pretending you don't need help with your expenses
(Star time!)
And that's a poor way to live
Philanthropists handing out a single fuck to give
I'm hanging out with billionaires that filthy mingle with
Why can't it be a fix as simple as a [?] (Star time!)
And I'm only getting richer, bucket list
Shit on his name like Richard, butt kiss
[Hook: Anderson .Paak, Kanye West, Rick James]
Yeah, I know you can see me now
It's like a bootleg feature now, I wanna be whatchu speakin' bout
Yeah, yeah, yuh
I hope you can see me now
It's like a bootleg feature now, I wanna be whatchu speakin' bout
Yeah
(Don't you play, no) (Don't play with ya!)

[Verse 3: ??? & James Brown]
Damn, how the fuck did I get here?
Last year I was a nobody I mean, nobody to manage me
Couldn't even last one year
I laughed while the wheels turn like a front fair (Star time!)
I'm from where, niggas spin in the block with Glocks and pop yo tops
Some are [?]
So some are pop yo tops when the summers hot
So some are really gangsta and some are not
And some are really wifey and some are thot (Star time!)
But I can't tell I need me a summer walk
Check your DM's too when you hear this Emma
And that's in quotes, I hit her with a different strokes
My dick the opposite of a Gary Cole
It varies growth depending on how the night could go
So, I'm looking for some action, Bronson
And I can hit her with my magic, ah ha hah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
