Like a Star

[chorus]

Baby girl, roll down the window

I love to see your hair float when the wind blow

Even if the money been slow

'ey to you it don't matter cause you still gon' ride with me

You're still gon' ride wit' me

I say you're still gon' ride wit' me

I know you're still gon' ride wit' me, hey

[j. cole - verse 1]

Welcome to the life of a, nice brother

Light skind-ed, black father, white mother

Tried to be a player, found out i'm a slight lover

Come from carolina, i'm fly, i'm a right brother

Went away to school looking for the right lover

You know, someone that couldn't ever worry 'bout a rubber

She had a man, i be damned, think i might love her

Thought about her ass for the whole damn summer

Man i even memorised her whole damn number

This is my semester dog, i'm coming to arrest her

Yah, y'all you know, handcuff her, her ex man, f-ck him

Oh nah don't be a parr man, that nigga was a dog

So it's me now, and she be everywhere i be now

I wonder, should i tell her what her fella wanna be now?

The dreams i been dreaming and them things i wanna see now

Do they make you wanna leave or would you stil hold me down?

[chorus]

'ey baby girl, roll down the window

I love to see your hair float when the wind blow

Even if te money been slow

'ey to you it don't matter cause you still gon' ride wit' me

You're still gon' ride wit' me

I say you're still gon' ride with me

I know you're still gon' ride with me, hey

(just like a star)

Cause baby girl you shine (just like a star)

And we gon' do it big (just like a star)

And maybe get a crib (just like a star)

'ey maybe we can live (just like a star)

[j. cole - verse 2]

Hey, for you i always had an admiration

We lost touch but you never left my imagination

Congratulations on your graduation

Oh now it's time to hit the real world filled with all them résumés and applications

Man, but ain't nobody calling you back

You say it's cause you a woman and even more cause you black, imagine that

The weight of everything on your plate

You got the world on your back baby, if you can relate, man i feel for you

'ey has this world got too real for you?

Your old friends say you changed but i still know you

You that same old girl i used to take home from school

Tryna look cool, forgot i had to break on, damn

Time passed and you done grew up

And yeah, it's just like i told you baby look i done blew up

But the money and this little bit of fame ain't changed me

So holla when you need me, i bet you you'll get the same me

[hook]

'ey baby girl, roll down the window

I love to see your hair float when the wind blow

Even if te money been slow

'ey to you it don't matter cause you still gon' ride with me

You're still gon' ride with me

I say you're still gon' ride with me

I know you're still gon' ride with me, hey

(just like a star)

Cause baby girl you shine (just like a star)

And we gon' do it big (just like a star)

And maybe get a crib (just like a star)

'ey maybe we can live

Just like a star that's in my sky

Just like an angel on my pain

You have appeared to my life

It feels like we never be the same

Damn and it's been, way too long

Can't find the words to write this song

Hey, ugh, still i wanna worry

But it ain't what i do

Hey, we do it all the time

Goin' out my mind

Man

[hook]

'ey baby girl, roll down the window

I love to see your hair float when the wind blow

Even if te money been slow

'ey to you it don't matter cause you still gon' ride wit' me

You're still gon' ride wit' me

I say you're still gon' ride wit' me

I know you're still gon' ride wit' me, hey

Just like a star
