halaj pharaoh-jali lialu – born to be lyrics

[verse one]
i was born to be a star (born to be a star)
not on hollywood boulevard
but (but what?) bringing life from the heavens
be who you’re born to be
but my mama and daddy never followed the north star
was i born to work this cotton gin for m-ssa dunbar?
could i really be destined to bring us life from heaven?
be who you’re born to be
but what if i’m a member of a meteor shower?
what if every hour is a total solar eclipse?
what if every day they wear shades and sunscreen?
be who you’re born to be
but my faith is in my fears
and my faith is what steers
my life. why is it so hard to decide to
be who you’re born to be

[hook]
there’s this new moon that governs my life
sometimes it makes me feel like i will never rise
but there’s a small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be
there’s this new moon that governs my life
sometimes it makes me feel like i will never rise
but there’s a small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be

[verse two]
my family’s religion is rooted in fear
gotta fly from that first before flying from the earth
making hip hop my religion is the first part of the mission to
be who i’m born to be
so, i take the amtrak from the city of graves
to the city shangri-la where the music always plays
i acquire knowledge, practice, more practice to become polished to
be who i’m born to be
now the pressure decreases as i take flight
i left my utmost fear so now my soul can steer
no fear of new moons, i’ll rise and shine soon to
be who i’m born to be
my ascension is finished (it is finished)
but my journey is just beginning (he is risen)
i’m extending my rays to the place where i was raised to
be who i’m born to be

[hook]
there was this new moon that governed my life
sometimes, it made me feel like i would never rise
but i heard the small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be
there was this new moon that governed my life
sometimes, it made me feel like i would never rise
but i heard the small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be

[bridge]
i used to hate new moons ‘cause they brought the darkest nights
i used to hate new moons ‘cause they would leave me without sight
but now i see that new moons didn’t shine bright cause
i refused to face them with my light
i used to hate new moons ‘cause they brought the darkest nights
but no longer do they control the tide of my life
when hopes don’t spring high, i go angelou so “still i rise” to
be who i’m born to be

[hook]
there’s this new moon that governs my life
sometimes it makes me feel like i will never rise
but there’s a small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be
there was this new moon that governed my life
sometimes, it made me feel like i would never rise
but i heard the small voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be
cause at the end of the night, you gotta live with your life
the sun will never rise if you never ever try
so please trust your voice deep down inside, singing
be who you’re born to be
yeah, please trust your voice deep down inside
please just trust that voice deep down inside
you never know if this will be the last time it cries out
be who you’re born to be (you never know, aye! you never know, aye! you never know, aye!)

[outro]
thank you, god!
the most dangerous creation in the world
is the emcee with nothing to lose
so, i give my all to you
let us begin
