A Star is Bortn (feat. J. Cole)

Chorus:
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey

Jay-Z:
Have seen Mase do it, seen Ye do it,
X came through, caught lighter fluid,
Still I came through it,
clap for em,
but I’m the blueprint
I’m like the map for em
I dropped another classic
Make Puff pass it
Nobody could touch Puff back when Puff had it
Wayne's scorching, I’ll applaud him
If he keep going, pass the torch to him
50 came through, like hurricanes do,
I thought I’d finish his ass at summer jam 2,
I had the Illmatic on bootleg,
shit was so ahead, thought we was all dead,
Wayne did a millie, 50 did a millie,
Ye too, but what Em did was silly,
the white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him,
his flow on Renegade, fucking awesome,
Applaud him,

Chorus:
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey

Jay-Z:
Snoop Dogg did, Nelly came down,
Face Mob, kept it ghetto for the H-town.
Luda moved digits after he moved bitches,
Drake's up next, see what he'll do with it,
Rule had a run, couple movie parts,
T.I literally wanted to shoot up the charts,
Wadup Jeezy, what it do,
Y’all remind me of us in early 92,
Outcast landed, 3-thou was ill,
like a male version of Lauren Hill,
Mobb Deep shook it but Prodigy took it a lil too far,
Can’t fuck with Brooklyn,
Wu-Tang gang bang, Meth ate,
Rae’ took on the date with the Purple Tape.
Passed on to Ason and then Ghostface,
they had a hell of a run,
standing Ova, hey,

Chorus:
Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey

Jay-Z:
And I am one of one,
can’t you see just along my front,
My brain new lou sun shine
been a star since i was back in one time,
one time give it up for him,
December 4th a star was born,
Clap for him,
he went from moving that corner
to this corner office is so enormous,
Hey, Pres Carter,
Watch him get a Monica on all day,
Hey,
got so many different Monikers but only one Jay
they come they go,
some real some foe,
some friends some hoes
but no I goes nowhere this Hov,

Chorus:
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey

J.Cole:
And could i be a star,
this fame in this game have to change who you are,
could i be the same one who came from a far away life,
just to make it in this broadway lights,
now shining in the broad day light, go figure,
a slow transition from a lil broke nigga from the Ville,
Got a deal a real life saver,
dreams of being behind the wheel like Jada,
i chill now couple lil ice later, Cole you go the glow like a lil lightsaber,
so clap for 'm, then applaud Hov, he gave'm a platform,
flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for'm,
no sir,
the flow's cold as a shoulder of a gold digging hoes when a broke nigga approaches,
told ya I’m focused man, I’ll let you murderfuckers soak it in,

Chorus:
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
(Can you say New York City) Everyday a star is born
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em, hey
