[Intro: L-Swift]
Yeah. Ayyo, it’s like that, y’all. NE. Yeah, yeah. Feel the vibe, y’all. Uh, feel the beats, y’all. Uh, feel the vibe, y’all. Check it out. Feel the beats, y’all. Where you could find me?

[Verse 1: L-Swift]
You could find me
In the BX, scheming on a sweet vict’, getting mine
By taking yours is how it goes, so peep this. It ain’t no
Ceasing. I gots to see this mansion with a west and east wing
Twenty-car garage that holds my Peace Ring. I be seeking
For my equal, speaking for my people, walking never-
-ending pathways for cash pay, picture my last days
On planet Earth. I ran my turf (With who?) with homies living
Life as a gamble. Money’s never ample, so we scramble, handle
Life a man’s way. I can’t say life’s with luxury. I need dimes
Shorties pouring liquor in crystal cups for me (So what you saying?)
Son, I gots to relax, get paid, and motivate and see
Money like I’m supposed to make, but I’m still wishing on a star

[Hook: Ebony]
Brothers wishing on a star (Baby)
Hard work’s what takes you far (Baby)
Stop wishing on a star (Baby)
Just follow what it means (Baby)

[Verse 2: Mr. Voodoo]
Now the science
I build with these days is life distilled with
Levels and stages, different phases and crazes
I’ve been through the mazes that we call the streets
To perform amazing feats with Charlemagne’s beats. It wasn’t
Always so sweet. I had to take L’s to get paid
And live the life once filled with strife, so I had to get trife. I used to
Roll up. This is a hold-up, so just freeze, be
Still, make sure don’t nothing move but the cheese. I used to
Slang kis, but had to back up when I realized that
The life of crime ain’t all it’s cracked up, so now a job
And school I be juggling, constantly struggling
I be hot-stepping while other brothers be bubbling
Not to mention I gets no attention from the skins ‘cause it’s
Considered a sin when your pockets are thin, but all I want
Is digits and triple things, my own gibs with
My rib, eat fufu, and have multiple kids

[Hook: Ebony]
You’re wishing on a star (Baby)
And hard work’s what takes you far (Baby)
Stop wishing on a star (Baby)
Just find out what it means (Baby)

[Verse 3: K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
I stayed up late
Many nights, writing my memoir, traveled A-Train
Last car, fitting ideas in ten bars, took time
To get treated level, paid for my trouble, the number of
Trips to record labels ending in disappointment was several. Check my
Thorough with consignments. My phonebook is dime-less
And to remember where I came from, all I do is rewind this, so call me
Your Highness. I’m one of the finest—show respect. I incapacitate
Nice emcees, I got that effect when I get wreck. Now check
Audible hours of facts and federal notes come in stacks. Can’t wait
To see my name on platinum-coated wax, and that’s facts. Fuck all
The mood rings. I’m investing my dough wearing the same pants
‘Cause I ain’t here to be broke years from now, selling plants. Now’s
My chance

[Verse 4: Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
Won’t let it linger, slip through my fingers
In a minute, I wanna close shows for R&B singers. In battles
I’m a ringer ‘cause the average emcee I’m storming, stayed up
Late hours of the morning yawning—that’s my word as bond. I write
Church-ringers to hymns (Hymns). At house parties, I got ‘em cheering (Cheering)
A handful of years back, all down the hill, I had ‘em fearing me
The Oddbrawl. Going against me is a hard fall
I scar more, all people describe me as a tonto. Now
On the scene, part of NE and half of the Nightbreed team, I fiend
From a three-Z planet check ‘cause I got my black queen adoring
Got me this far. Lyrically, I’ve been up to par. Until I
Get this deal, I’m still wishing on a star, so there you are

[Hook: Ebony]
You’re wishing on a star (Baby)
And hard work’s what takes you far (Baby)
Stop wishing on a star (Baby)
Just find out what it means (Baby)
Brothers wishing on a star (Baby)
Hard work’s what takes you far (Baby)
Stop wishing on a dream (Baby)
Just follow what it means (Baby)
