The Honorable Hakim Dough, B.LIN - STAR SPANGLED ANSWERS Lyrics

I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
George Washington carved me
Out a garveyite so I could be a star as bright
As harriet Tubman's northern lights for foreign sites
Rappers get paid the most from touring right
Before I left I knew my rights
Ghostly policemen are the poltergeist
It's more to life than red, blue and white
Ain't no ties in a race war so be sure your shoes are tight
What We gon do is read some books and book a flight
If we could we'd connect the diaspora overnight
This the closest we done been
At 17 I got a request from a stranger to be my friend
That's how the sister I'd never met found her way in my DM's
And from there I got connected with all my other next of kin
I use to pray to have siblings, I know that God been listening in
My middle name means God will hear you
I say thank you and Amen
I asked for 1 and I got 5, the story of my life again
When I ain't have a star to wish on I ain't see the sky as dim
My first time in Senegal the stars were closer than my brim
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
You can tell-a-scope of a problem
By how much it costs to solve it
Sometimes money not enough
Just being honest
How do we repair the bonds that broke due to bondage
And convince those with the means we no longer being held hostage
You can tell-a-scope of an issue
By how long it takes to get to
When it's other things to tend to
The powers that be don't wanna lend you
Any power, but it's in you
To be free, as much as any star you see
You can tell-a-scope of a hoax
By how many people vote
With their eyes, with their ballots
With their pockets, with their talents
Those who eat it up the most
Don't have nothing in their cabinets
One to many sunny sides up in side your basket
Keeps you scrambling with the masses
We don't share the same cosmological address
My gems shine bright in the moonlight
The lion of Judah rises to a new height
Son of man Taurus apart let's keep it glued tight
The ends in sight
I'm glad that the lord answered your prayers to have siblings
You know
I'm glad that my sister made the move to contact you
Because we wouldn't have the bond that we have today
And I appreciate, know what I'm saying and I recognize that when you rap
You really talk about you
What you got going on, your life
It's no cap rap
Know what I'm saying
You talk about them real situations
And I feel like that's what people can relate to
It just you know, It makes the music even better
When you started talking about our story and when we met
That really hit, because you were talking about praying about having siblings
And I remember like before my mom told me about you I use to like literally like wish for an older brother
There was nothing that I wanted more
And in specific not even an older sister but like an older brother specifically
So when my mom told me that I had an older brother
It was kind of like in my mind,I was just like yea I know your joking
But like this something you shouldn't even joke about because I want this so badly
You know
So it was kind of interesting and nice that you were praying about having a sibling
And I was also kind of praying or wishing about having an older brother
And God just made it happen

I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
I wish I had a Star to wish on
George Washington carved me
Out a garveyite so I could be a star as bright
