Justyn Cairo - I'm A Star

I’m a star
Cairo, yeah

Grew up, livin’ hard
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Work hard, raise the bar
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Went to school, played the part
Followed rules, bought a car
Took karate, Maserati
Mama raised me, I’m a star

Teachers told me things that I already know
Like how I gotta live and where I gotta go
But I ain’t with that, I got my own flow
I’ll manage my money, buy my mama a Rolls
Since I was young, I’ve been puttin’ on a show
Like Mr. Worldwide, I’ve been to Tokyo
Actin’ like you know me but you really don’t
Ask about me, don’t doubt me, unless you wanna throw-
Down, started a poet
Yeah, you better know it
New York City vibin’ with me
Like I’m the one that owns it
People they calling me stoic
Like emotion I don’t show it
Pain, I struggled, campaign, I hustled
Thank God I’m heroic

Grew up, livin' hard
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Work hard, raise the bar
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Went to school, played the part
Followed rules, bought a car
Took karate, Maserati
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Grew up, livin’ hard
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Work hard, raise the bar
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Went to school, played the part
Followed rules, bought a car
Took karate, Maserati
Mama raised me, I’m a star

Growin’ up was tough, even though I had it all
‘Cause things got rough, and my family fell apart
Didn’t know who to trust, thought I was gonna fall
Had to stay focused, trust God, and be smart
Grew up watching LA, always wanted to ball
Had to stay in your lane, can’t always have it all
Kept my goals in mind, and I stay on the grind
I’m going my way, gimme the light Sean Paul
Got a chain around my neck
Iced out my Patek
No Percocet, like they expect
Gotta show the kids what’s best
Even though I’m not perfect
I'm still gonna teach respect
My plan in motion, I’m ridin’, I’m devoted
What’s next?

Grew up, livin' hard
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Work hard, raise the bar
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Went to school, played the part
Followed rules, bought a car
Took karate, Maserati
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Grew up, livin’ hard
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Work hard, raise the bar
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Went to school, played the part
Followed rules, bought a car
Took karate, Maserati
Mama raised me, I’m a star

And I knew that I would be a star
Livin’ lavish, check my baggage, now I’m on top
And I knew that I would be a star
I’m a savage, total package, I’m the one you want
And I knew that I would be a star
Livin’ lavish, check my baggage, now I’m on top
And I knew that I would be a star
I’m a savage, total package, I’m the one you want
Yeah I know life can be hard
Sometimes you gotta be strong
If you wanna beat the odds
If you wanna take charge
Yeah I know life can be hard (life can be hard)
Sometimes you gotta be strong (gotta be strong)
If you wanna beat the odds (beat the odds)
If you wanna take charge (then take charge)

I’m a star, I’m a star
Mama raised me, I’m a star
I’m a star, I’m a star
Mama raised me, I’m a star
I’m a star, I’m a star
Mama raised me, I’m a star
Yeah I’m a star, I’m a star
Mama raised me, I’m a star

I’m a star
I’m a star
Mama raised me, I’m a star
