  • If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
    And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
    And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

    Long days half sober nights
    Unsigned, performing at every open mic
    God is all I needed to believe in me
    Haters I tuned them out they were on another frequency
    My momma never winded my decision
    And all the bright lights never blinded out my vision
    Music was my passion and my first crush
    I'm just tryna ride the waves baby surfs up
    When I'm down music gets me worked up
    Plus at all my shows, gets women to pull they shirts up
    What can I say I'm turnt up
    I'm on fire these other rappers is burnt up

    If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
    And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
    And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

    Yeah what an imagination
    I'm a dreamer losing my concentration
    Head in the clouds to trace my observations
    Just connect the dots to all of the constellations
    Looking for signs that's astrological
    And I don't dream big, my dreams are astronomical
    So when critics write articles of my chronicles
    I wonder if my hunger is felt in they abdominal
    Hiding from life's daily distraction
    Where thoughts become things from the power of attraction
    And I'm attracted to money and beautiful women
    Ha and toasting to new beginnings, yeah

    If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
    And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
    And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not long

    Look it's not long 'til the fights over
    But turbulence is non stop till the flights over
    So when passengers panic just stay silent
    And realize its never too late to become the pilot
    I fly higher take control of my destiny
    The first step I needed me to invest in me
    It's still a every day struggle for wealth
    But rather struggle working for me than working for someone else
    And I'm steady tryna ease the stress
    So I open up all the doors with the key to success
    If it hasn't been done then I'mma do it first
    'Cause I'm the master of the Ludaverse

    If we look to the stars, you'll find that you're not far from them
    And if you follow your heart, you'll find that you'll be one of them
    And not long, and not long, and not long, and not long, and not lon Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER BRIDGES, DAVID GUY, FERNANDO VELEZ-RAMON, HOMER STEINWEISS, LEON MICHELS, MAURICE WILLIS, THOMAS BRENNECK
