Admire & Envy

Admire & Envy - Young Starr

[Verse 1]

Everytime i hear a record from the hip hop parents,

I thank god for givin the world the chance to presence so much talents,

Im amazed, and cant put down that lil feelin,

Envy, yeah im jealous, keeps me dreamin,

But I dream don't fantasy, I know my limitations,

I know takes time to rap like em, so I don't come wit exaggerations,

Say wat? I got a low autoesteem?,

Don't confuse things dawg, ima be the king,

Of my generation, the past is the past,

Im inspired by it, and remember I wont be the last,

Maybe when I get 40 youngsters will envy me too,

And I know that feelin gets happy my predecessors too,

Its like a classic Jazzy Jeff's spinnnin routine,

People admire your work and who you been,

Motivates kids to go through the same way you did,

Some of em turns into clowns, others instantly got hits,

And the last ones like me are still workin it,

Admirin and envying, sick of bein in the back seat,

So don't get shocked when you read the name of this song,

Envy is a double-sided sword, and I carry the good side strong...

[Chorus]

The key to rap is admiring & envyin,

Don't believe others sayin it is the fightin,

Admire is have a high opinion, heres mine,

Im glad you named hip-hop to the street rhyme,

Envy is to desire the qualities of another,

Man, ya song was done like no other...

[Verse 2]

I admire the lyrical talent, envy the respect earned,

Only hope at the end, their lessons will be well learned,

Some of em have passed, they're in heaven or hell, don't know,

Neither care very much, Im sure god also loved their flow,

Maybe rough, maybe they didn't use the correct adjectives,

But them, even comin from a ghetto, achieved their objectives,

And thanks to em, we're here, with new missions,

For example, savin our brothers from the hated prison,

And the mic, basic tool, passes through many hands,

So now its my turn to spit, then in your hands will land,

Im doin my thing, its time to shut up and watch,

Look how im bringin the heat while the DJ scratches,

I applied all I learned from the guys before me,

Added my own touch to it, and now sounds like me,

Now is your turn, do the same I did, admire & envy,

Write your signature next to mine, and the mic for the next guy...

[Chorus x2]
