Candy red things gonna spin

With that big body boy you're bound to win

Armor in your mouth

You're gonna shine

Your wrist talking boy it's only time

Put the incense on

Cover up the smell

And if your boys go down I know you'll never tell

You're a superstar

You're a superstar

Always shining in the night

And your skin glowing in the moonlight

The streets say you're a king

The world says you're a failure

And your mother is a queen

But damn she always tells ya

You gon' end up like your daddy

But damn that ni**a fresh

So if it all comes out to plan

You gon' end up like the best

You say look on the TV they all want to be me

For nothing whatever it's worth it's something

Ain't no apologizing for all of the things you want

So if dreams only go so far

They'll come to where you are

Candy red things gonna spin

With that big body boy you're bound to win

And that armor in your mouth

You're gonna shine

Your wrist talking boy it's only time

Put the incense on

Cover up the smell

And if your boys go down I know you'll never tell

You're a superstar

You're a superstar

Always shining in the night

And your skin glowing in the moonlight

Your love is kind

Your love is kind

But your love ain't blind

Your world is kind

Your world is kind

But your world ain't blind
