[Hook: Earth Wind & Fire *repeated throughout Ol' Dirty Bastard's intro*]
Shining Star for you to see
What you're life can do baby

[Intro: Ol' Dirty Bastard]
Yeah, knah I'm sayin'?
This is what you call making history right here
The Fifth Element
Earth, Wind, Fire, Sunz of Man knah i'm sayin'?
We got the Wu-Tang in the house, knah i'm sayin'? ODB
Yo Wyclef play the guitar man!
The earth is approximately covered underwater
3/4's of the surface
The sun and moon had attract the power
While it's on it's way around the sun

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
I'm the Eddie Kane of the Wu-Tang, Osirus with the fire-extinguisher slang
Maintain this paradise on this earth, with the shut the fuck up style
For what this shit is worth, watch a nigga catch a purse
Super-hero niggas die, do my dirt, get away and multiply

[Prodigal Sunn]
Hey yo entrepeneur wisdom shops through, the dark kahlua, the black sire
Smack fire out of the liar, my heart desire
Speak truth and light this fire, the clever writer, not lia, never retire
The child teacher, mouth speaker, earth seeker, wind blower
To the seas I'm like Noah

[Chorus 2X: Earth Wind & Fire]
You're my Shining Star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see, no matter who's with me

[Hell Razah]
Uh, hey yo this masterpiece be exclusive and fascinating
Street knowledge education
Teach the seeds son no procrascinatin'
Ghetto learnin' graduatin'
Blessed be the ones with patience from the ancient
God bless the child that could hold his own
Little shorties don't trust a soul it's all globe control
Earth Wind and Fire, Sunz of Man, and Wyclef
We connect like Nynex and bring the intelect
We teach both sex, Brooklyn to Tibet, male or female
Who follow footsteps and correct

[60 Second Assassin]
I'm a Shining Star, beam of light from out far
Hits like these would burn holes through our resevoir
Espionage, let it be known who take charge
Come hard with the underground like camouflage
Keep it bizarre, mainstream for the young teens
Though if it don't be for clearance till 13

[Chorus 2X]

[Prodigal Sunn]
Escapin' the ghetto, using the bass tempo or treble
In the streets we carry heavy metal, roll with the devil
Yo son life is reality, reality is life
People livin' trife, the world filled with strife
The god's livin' right in this act too many lack
Black on black crime, no vest, another nigga laid to rest

[60 Second Assassin]
It's been a long time, the beat's certain
Sunz of Man behind deens of wall searchin'
The heat is perkin' Earth Wind and Fire burnin'
Sensation yearnin' and learnin' situation, Wyclef platinum hits
Beach nation is what your life could truly be anticipation

[Chorus 2X]

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, when I was young i taught how to produce
The science of babies gettin' loose
I turn white boys to Springsteins' Bruce
Blacks to blues, to the Chinese I gave Bruce
I can't help it if my style is foggy
Words to boogie getcha high on my patio
Or come to see me movie, girls your walking on my dirt
I'm all in ya hair, or mike your life plane call hurt

[Hell Razah]
To all my shining stars, from here to L.A. to Mars
Growin' up in the ghetto where times is hard
No matter who ya are, you a child or God
Born as a king not a slave for jobs
It's much more to life then to drink at bars
Large bank accounts and these fancy cars
Little King Tut's scheemin' when they lust
They get handcuffed for diamiond ring cuts

[Chorus to fade]
