A New Star Is Born Feat. Tangi Forman

Left Eye , TANGI FORMAN

I believe when someone passes away


Either a star is born, energy so pure


That it creates new worlds


Or as the soul releases


Shatters into pieces


Becoming free flowing thoughts


For my mental thesis


Maybe we just don't understand


The spirits that still walk the land


Or whatever the case


I believe that we all still remain


To share the same space





So dad, I know you're listenin'


How you been?


Oh, I'm doin' fine, just passin' time


Submerged in sin sometimes I take a bath


And just get all dirty again


I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in


Into that place you've been


No, I'm not tryin' to rush anything


I just wanna visit you because I miss you


So what you tryin' to say?


My imagination been wild since I been a child


And since you're laughin' then


I take it that good things are happenin'





The day I learned you were gone


A new star was born


Distant voices fill my mind


Said look up in the sky


And when I did there you were





Well, I'm sure you already know this


I'm a big pop star


And my pops is a star (ha ha)


No, you really are


Sometimes I feel like an anus


I kinda made you a little famous


Always spillin' my guts


Explainin' to these people who think I'm nuts


Told them how you and moms knuckled up


My excuse for being such a disrupt


Yeah, they sure did


They called you an abusive drunk


Sorry, I didn't realize the media would run with it


But now I know and sometimes I try to have fun with it





The day I learned you were gone


A new star was born


Distant voices fill my mind


Said look up in the sky


And when I did there you were





What did you say you wish to be free


Been here all this time because of me


And on August 16, 2001


Anything that I wish to release


Release? I see.


First of all I give you my thanks for preparing me


To be open and free


I release my min
