It's like this and uh it's like that and uh (x2)
Many men wanna piece the thing
She got eyes that'll pierce your skin
Whether smiling or crying she sees the end 
And her mind's in the sky but her feet pretend 
That she walks on the beach, sparkin a leaf 
But the trees don't ease what she feels within
Sees men who see past her,
But no matter the way that's no faith like folks who need pastors 
Real women on a set with actors 
Who all tryin to [bad word] the director after
Cue music close up back lights, keep the shadow in the front
Pull back cut to tears and laughter
Her man is a fool for not tryin'
Holding up the sky, moments at a time
Lover and a fighter but for now I'd rather try
Being neither 'til the people in the theater
Realize she's a star 
 [bad word] 
Nobody knows it yet but no, no, no disrespect 
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, [bad word] them all is your life to live cuz you a star. 

And nobody knows it yet, but no no disrespect
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, [bad word] them all is your life to live.
Now whatever way she talks, heads turn away in a shade of dark 
And in a way, many say she was made for art
If the world is a stage then she played the part 
Worst case scenario she find herself, in the wrong [bad word] all by herself 
And in [bad word]  mademoiselle sells time herself, will she ever bail only time will tell
Real women turn to desperation 'cause one man's love ain't 
Enough to save em 
From settlement [bad word]  liquidation she fills the prescription heroin addictions
Seas and reflections, mirrors never mention descendant
With dreams to get free, lover and a fighter but for now rather try 
Being neither to the people in the theater
She's a star. [bad word] 
It's like this and uh it's like that and uh...
