Yeah, yeah
Yo, yeah
Yeah

For- up in they mom's crib listenin'
To this unadulterated Nas- wishin' it was them
Instead of me on this track on this beach with palm trees
Drinks with umbrella straws telling it raw
Jungle of concrete- and snakes I was amongst that
Bundles of- through this funnel that's black
I want you to vision through my telescope see the hell I wrote
It's Reynolds when I Wrap it like a envelope package
And they would send the- back then
Numbers, pimpin' and robbin', well they still robbin' and pimpin'
But it's small change compare to hip hoppin'
And did I mention millions because of lip poppin'?
Trips, expensive gift shoppin', whip drivin'
Benzes, Jeeps, see, them and they- got one
It's shockin', you thinkin', nah, it's just rhymin'
But all this time it's like organized crimin'
For instance, there was a time when there was a line
Between streets and business, but now peep how it's mixed in
The beef is now sickenin', everybody got paper
Words of power, because of it, the cops hate ya
The government watchin' all of those who thuggin' it
They want to lock us up 'cause they kids are lovin' it
Not knowin' that most rappers are straight-
The- ring out, whenever we clash it's Star Wars

We call it Star Wars
What happens when the- ring out, it's called Star Wars
We call it Star Wars

Caviar never, I rather the Cajun blackened
Catfish, no snails, simple- to please
Met a bad- dimples in her cheeks
She remembers Busy be battles when it was peace
Caught myself driftin' in thought, 'cause now it's different I thought
- Was raised off the shit I record
Like I was brought up off that Planet Rock
Kurtis Blow, James Todd Smith, Shannon Scott, LaRock in the jams
Why would they- with a don? Jehovah witness
Him and his co-defendants, I eat 'em like Lucky Charms
With two percent low fat milk, five percent pro black built
It's nothin' mother had a-
I don't think about it- talkin' there's a lot of gossip
That I'm a prophet or I can't go back to my projects
Can I? Does a plant grow from a pot, yes
Do trees grow from a forest MC's, y'all are clitoris
Y'all- roll with any click that's winnin' any crew
Doin' whatever's trendy, even they leave me too
Ain't enough room in this town
What is beef between ghetto word spitters with crowns, Star Wars

'Cause this is Star Wars
- Ring out everywhere, Star Wars
'Cause this is Star Wars
Ring out

This ain't no Oscars or MTV or Joan Rivers Fashion Police
Not what you read in tabloid seats
These are MC's that live by the code, it's hard for me to spit it
Because the game was supposed to be sold we live it
Came from the streets we the voice of the youth
America's nightmare was given a the mic booth
Nike boots, leathers and jean, jewelry, cribs and cars
Rappers not dependin' on your nine to five jobs
Entertainment, this is our world this is our language
Different regions speakin' east and west gang-
You got your positive- like, Common Sense
But even he had drama with the Don Mega Cube
Acknowledge the words get twisted at times it's rules
What you think is different from the block whenever we feud
- Your pictures and your plaques your tours and autographs
Don't trust- and- who tell you you all of that
'Cause, they'll be in your enemies face, sayin' it's safe
To run in your release party sprayin' the place
Or catch you when you least on point, putting your keys in the door
Behind you with your seeds in Kay Bee Toys store
Maybe the words get disrespectful now your- check you
You gon' let that- play you, you know we 'gon rep you
Next mornin' every news channel and front page
Headlines another rapper was slayed, this is Star Wars
