Twinkle, twinkle (I'm not a star) -Will Smith-Jeff Townes- Performed by Will Smith "I'm not a" x5 Chorus: Twinkle twinkle little star. -C'mon y'all I ain't no! -Yes you are! Up above the clouds so high. -Naw, not me, I'm just a regular guy! Chorus Starlight, star, so bright. First star that I see tonight... I wish that I may, wish that I might, riff the rhyme just right. Now, ya all know how the old story goes; -He went from rag to riches, and he changed as he rose. To me, that scenario doesn't apply, my friend. 'Cause I'm the same guy I've always been! J-J-F-P, 1-9-9-3, M-O-V-I-E, T-V 'n' C-D. Me and Jeff brand new on the radio. Step on the scene and the crowd scream: -There they go! What a start. That's quite an analogy. I don't think who we are should be described astrologically! Don't judge me by my car, and don't treat me any differently. I'm not a... Chorus Let's take a trip down memory lane. You know, back before everybody knew my name. Before all the glory, the fame and the cheers. When I was just a kid with the big old ears. (Check it) West Philadelphia, born and raised. Now that's the phrase that you hear all Mondays. But let's get a little bit deeper than that. Back when Jeff was on the scratch-back, and I was on the rap. I used to buy records at this audiostore. I barley had a dime when I walked out the door. I tried to get a break, but they could never seem to cut me. But now I got money, and they wanna give me stuff for free! That's something that I'll never understand. -Yo, I can't afford it! Give the break till the next man! You say I'm a star 'cause I'm large in a land. But excuse me, what I do doesn't define who I am. -Shaq, Denzel, Quincy Jones. -Oooh! -What's the category? -It's "Folks you look up to"? -The thousand-dollar answer is up on the board. -Am, who is a star? -EEEEE! Sorry, no score. People be flippin' when they see me around. But, yo, don't trip. Just give me a pound. Step up and say "Hi", it don't matter who you are! C'mon, what 'cha all scared for? I'm not a... Chorus Out to see a movie. Chillin' my Lilly. Actin' kinda silly in downtown-Philly. She wanna see a new flick, I wanna see a classic. So we flip a coin, and settle on Jurassic Park. The only thing that counts is me to be with her. Got some pop-corn for the theater. Ev'rythin' goin' just fine, then this girl from behind recognize me in the line. I turn around and I smiled, and she laughed. She said "How ya doin', can I please have your autograph?" I said yeah, and she reach for a pen, her boyfriend said; -He ain't nobody, F- him. -F- me? Yo, what did I do? Watch you mouth man, I don't even know you! I'm a peaceful man, real easy. I said "Look, you got a problem with me, "beep"? He said; -Yeah, I don't like the way you act. Cars and jewelry and wavin' like you 'n' all that. I ain't sweatin' you, no matter who you are! -I ain't ask you to, homie. I'm not a... Chorus x 4 "Twinkle, twinkle little star" x 2
