From the Day I Was Born by P. Stunna Lyrics
[Hook]
Everyday a star is born
Everyday a star is born
[Verse One: P-Stunna]
January 23rd, 1999
A little boy was born looking mighty fine
13 years from that day he'd rock the mic
But things weren't easy for him as a little tyke
His parents were married only two weeks before
Father already cheating with a dumb whore
His mother just couldn't stand him
Thoughts of marriage she wanted to abandon
But with no money that could not happen
Both parents would have to start trappin
While his parents worked, grandmomma would babysit
She'd sit baby John down and tell him this:
"Look sweetie you are a star
With enough determination you can go far
Don't you let anybody knock you down
And I better never see your face with a frown"
Cause
[Hook repeat]
[Verse Two: P-Stunna]
Days of the week with stars born, seven
Great Grandmomma looking down from Heaven
Smilin at me
She never listened to rap, see
But I know she wanted to see me succeed
Doin what I love and keepin it G
Even if that wouldn't be her word choice
Three generations of women give a man voice
Man, ain't that something
Especially when the faggots said I'd amount to nothing
Already at the top? I made good time
And if you don't like me, that's just fine
Cause I am a star, and I know it
If I'm a bad rapper, at least I'm a good poet
If I said I was the best, that'd be a lie
But unlike you, at least I try
[Hook repeat]
[Verse Three: P-Stunna]
When I was little I asked my grandma why she didn't have friends
She said she didn't want them; they're not important
She told me friends come and go
But your family is one thing that'll never be your foe
So I went my whole life being a loner
Purposely, but it weighed me down like a boulder
I had nobody to go to
Cause family betrayed me like they wasn't supposed to
I was alone
Year after year in another new home
Nother new school
And a new set of rules
They were ruining me, I thought my parents were evil
But I used this to my advantage
And forgave her, losin my momma somethin I can't risk
[Repeat hook]
Everyday a star is born
Everyday a star is born
