[Verse 2: Lil Tjay]
Where I come from, it's war, so right now, I'm just vibin'
Eighteen, I'm a trench kid, where I come from, they evil, conniving
You don't really want smoke with us, someone gon' end up dyin'
Catch an opp, it's a man down, straight drillin', ain't with all the cryin'
'Member them nights I was starvin'
'Member them nights it was cold
'Member them nights I had nobody
Walkin' home, it was me and my pole
Think I'm a rapper, don't try, 'cause I'm really on go
I ain't really gon' say too much right now, I'm just lettin' you know
They saw the come-up like, "How, how, how?" (Gang)
Pop out, I'm drippin' like, "Wow, wow, wow" (Drip)
Niggas try copy my style, style, style (My style)
Niggas ain't solid, they foul, foul, foul (They foul)
[Chorus: Lil Tjay]
I'ma shoot for the stars (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'ma shoot for the stars (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'ma shoot for the stars
I'ma shoot for the stars
I'ma shoot for the stars
I'ma shoot for the stars
