CiiJ1 - Where the Stars Don't Shine Lyrics

No matter where you go in this world
You should never forget
Where you came from
Never never never

Where I came from
Where I came from

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

Yo
I knew I was gone be a star
I didn't have the glow
It took to be a kid
But I knew I was gone make it far
Momma had a Thunderbird
My cousin used to laugh at me
Because my Momma muffler was falling off
Riding to the fair
Looking out the window
Seeing sparks
I'm like Ma
Yo yo car on fire
She pulled over to side
Then tied it up with a wire
She's showed me what it meant
To have a car you truly
Admire
Every car my Momma had
I never really desired
Until she got that white
Caddy
I was stunting like my step
Daddy
Because my real Daddy was busy
Truly
Never was there
I ain't tryna diss you Daddy
But you never was there
You had me hurt so many nights
That I was covered in tears
Woke up to so many nose bleeds
That Momma was scared
I know she wasn't mentally prepared
To see me in tears
Because she always wished
That you would be there
But I know that you care cuz

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

Yo
I went a little bit too hard
On my daddy
On that last verse
I love you
Even though I know your money
Always come first
Whats makes it the worst
Is I feel
Stuck by the same curse
Living from a broken dream
Tryna see a mans worth
Learning from some women
Who taught me to be a man first
Living up to Gods Expectations
Doing mans work
But when a mans hurt
He chooses his heart first
But me
When I got locked up
I learned to put God first
Even if I know I'm saying stuff
That might make God Hurt
I ask him for forgiveness
While I'm praying inside
To make me
The sun
Not a star in the sky
Cuz I wanna be the one
And not be the one in disguise
I mean the one the Devil hated
Cuz his power was wise
So the next time you say you love me
Please look in my eyes
So I can tell if its real love
To separate lies
Cuz I don't want to be your son
If you see me as a prize because

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

I came from a place
Where the stars don't shine
Growing up
We had the hardest
Time
At 5 years old
I saw my Momma
Crying
Lost in a world
Where the stars
Don't shine

Yo
You see this apartment
This is where I was born at

See this apartment
This was my next house

See this house
This my God Momma house
Rest In Peace Godma
She raised me when my Momma had to fight with DSS over keeping me

See this house this is where I used to stay when my Momma first got married to my Little Brother Rudy's Dad Rudy

See this house
This is my Dad's house as it appears today

See this house this is where I lived when my Momma
Was raising me through my teenage years

And you see this house this is my Grandma Georgia's house
Where I stayed most of the times
And where I stayed when I got out of jail
The first house burnt down and this is what replaces it

She always showed me special love Rest In Peace Grandpa Pete and Mr. Henry I love You Grandma Georgia

See this house this is my Grandpa and Grandma Reverend Lillian and Charles's House This house has been here since I was 3 and it's still raising me

See this house
This is the most important house on Marshland my Great Grandma Evelina's House And this is where we have our Mitchells and Young Family Reunion and this is the Yard
Where I first performed

And where I came up
