[Intro: James Brown & Kanye West]
So now ladies and gentlemen, it is star time (Yeah, uh)
Are you ready for star time?
[Verse 1: Kanye West & James Brown]
Life of the rich and gorgeous
Everything is on the house like the mortgage
Up to my dad, I would've been aborted
Then it would've been a real nigga shortage (Star time)
Man for real, where the wheels the nigga order?
Wifey took her Sprinter back because of Tracy Morgan
In my own home, I'm a tourist
Can't even unpack man, another flight that's boarding (Star time)
Automatic toilet, just flush
Came on her titties like Morris, Chestnut
Let it go
[Chorus: The-Dream, James Brown & 88-Keys]
God damit I need you now, god damit I need you now
God damit
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
God damit (So now ladies and gentlemen it is star time, are you ready for star time?)
(I'm ready)
[Verse 2: 88-Keys & James Brown]
Livin' life through these rose-colored lenses
I'm finding every other shade so offensive
I'm offended you broke, cause I'm pretentious
Pretending you don't need help with your expenses (Star time)
And that's a poor way to live
Philanthropists handing out a single fuck to give
I'm hanging out with billionaires that filthy mingle with
Why can't it be a fix as simple as a tuckin' dip? (Star time)
And I'm only getting richer, bucket list
Shit on his name like Richard, Butkus
[Chorus: The-Dream & James Brown]
God damit I need you now, god damit I need you now
God damit
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
God damit (So now ladies and gentlemen it is star time, are you ready for star time?)
[Verse 3: G-Eazy & James Brown]
Life of the rich and gorgeous
In L.A. hopping out of exquisite Porsches
My gas pedal controlling 600 horses
Kentucky Derby, I'm looking for where the whores is (Star time)
You can't afford this
Jerry Lamb, my house is like a fortress
Fuck it, top 10 list, I'm on the Forbes list
Just bought a flamethrower from Elon, I'm 'bout to torch this (Star time)
Get it, I mean we litty
Give me one excuse to snap, I don't need many
I rap differently when I'm in JAY-Z city
Got my own alcohol, I don't need henny (Star time)
I pour this shit, come round selling that still house
Trying to follow this path, think you should switch routes
I'm from the bay, we ghost ride and peel out
I'm the prince of my city like Will in Phil's house, hee
Jay, let's go
[Chorus: The-Dream, Rick James, Anderson .Paak & Kanye West]
God damit I need you now, god damit I need you now
God damit
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
God damit (Don't you play, no)
Yeah (Don't play with ya)
[Verse 4: IDK & James Brown]
Damn, how the fuck did I get here?
Last year I was a nobody I mean, nobody to manage me
Couldn't even last one year
I laughed while the wheels turn like a front fair (Star time)
I'm from where niggas spin in the block
With Glocks and pop yo' tops, some are Papa Docs
So some will pop yo' top when the summers hot
So some are really gangster, and some are not (Star time)
And some are really wifey, and some are thot
But I can't tell, I need me a summer walk
Check your DM's too when you hear this, Summer
And that's in quotes, I hit her with the different strokes
My dick the opposite of a Gary Cole
It varies growth depending how the night could go
So, I'm looking for some action, Bronson
And I can hit her with my magic, ah-ha-ha
[Chorus: The-Dream, Rick James & Kanye West]
God damit I need you now, god damit I need you now
God damit
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
God damit (Don't you play, no)
(Don't play with ya)
[Verse 5: Kanye West & James Brown]
With your praying hands, for you lil' niggas, I'm way advanced
I don't write rhymes, I write tattoos, and when I die, they build statues (Star time)
You niggas ain't got the cashews, from the city where cash rules
'Till they run up on a bad mood, okay there's another bad move (Star time)
[Verse 6: Anderson .Paak, Rick James & Kanye West]
Yeah, I know you can see me now
It's like a full-length feature now, I wanna be what you speakin' 'bout
Yeah, yeah, yuh
I hope you can see me now
It's like a full-length feature now, I wanna be what you speakin' 'bout
Yeah (Don't you play, no)
(Don't play with ya)
