A Star Is Born

Everyday a star is born (can you say New York City)

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em hey

Everyday a star is born (can you say New York City)

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em

Hey

I seen Mase do it, I seen 'Ye do it

'X came through, caught lighter fluid

Still I came through it, clap for

But I'm the blueprint, I'm like the map for

I dropped another classic, made Puff pass it

Nobody could touch Puff back when Puff had it

Wayne scorchin', I'll applaud him

If he keep going, pass the torch to him

50 came through like hurricanes do

I thought I'd finish his ** at Summer Jam too

I had the Illmatic on bootleg

So ahead, thought we was all dead

Wayne did "A Milli", 50 did a milli

Ye too, but what Em did was silly

The white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him

His flow on "Renegade, " ** awesome, applaud him!

Everyday a star is born (can you say New York City)

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em hey

Everyday a star is born

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em

Hey

Snoop dogged it, Nelly came down

The Face Mob kept it ghetto for the H-town

Luda moved digits after he moved **

Drake's up next, see what he do with it

Rule had a run, couple movie parts

T.I

literally wanted to shoot up the charts

What up, Jeezy?

What it do?

Y'all remind me of us in early '92

Outkast landed, 3 thou was ill

Like a male version of Lauryn Hill

Mobb Deep shook it, but Prodigy took it

A lil' too far, can't ** with Brooklyn

Wu-Tang gang-banged it, Meth ate

Rae took on the date with the Purple Tape

Passed on to Ason and then Ghostface

They had a hell of a run, standing ovate, ayyy

Everyday a star is born

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em hey

Everyday a star is born

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em

And I am one of one

Can't you see just how long my run?

My reign, Lulu's son-shine

Been a star since I was duckin' one time

One time, give it up for him

December 4th, a star was born

Clap for

He went from moving that corner

To this corner office, it's so enormous

Hey, Pres Carter

Watch them get they Monica on all day

Hey, got so many different monikers but only one Jay

They come, they go, some real, some faux

Some friends, some hoes

But, no, I goes nowhere, this Hov

Everyday a star is born (can you say New York City)

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em hey

Everyday a star is born

Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em

Hey

And could I be a star?

Does fame in this game have to change who you are?

Or could I be the same one who came from a far away life

Just to make it in these Broadway lights?

Now I'm shining in the broad day light, go figure

A slow transition from a little broke ** from the Ville

Got a deal, a real life saver

Dreams of being behind the wheel, like Jada

I chill now, cop a little ice later

Cole, you got the glow like a lil' lightsaber

So clap for

Then applaud Hov, he gave him a platform

Flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for him

No sir, the flow's cold as the shoulders

Of gold digging hoes when a broke ** approaches

Told you I'm focused, man

I'll let you ** soak it in and clap for 'em!

Everyday a star is born (can you say New York City)

Yeah, hey, and clap for 'em!

I'm here now! Fayettenam

Clap for 'em!

Clap for 'em!

Ayy (J Cole!)

Every day, a star is born
