Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City, uh, yeah)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
I've seen Ma$e do it, seen Ye do it
X came through, caught lighter fluid
Still I came through it, clap for 'em
But I'm the blueprint, I'm like the map for 'em
I dropped another classic, make Puff pass it
Nobody could touch Puff back when Puff had it
Wayne's scorching, I'll applaud him
If he keep going, pass the torch to him
50 came through like hurricanes do
I thought I'd finish his ass at Summer Jam 2
I had the 'Illmatic' on bootleg
Shit was so ahead, thought we was all dead
Wayne did a milli, 50 did a milli
Ye too, but what Em' did was silly
The white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him
His flow on renegade, fucking awesome, applaud him
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City, uh-huh, yeah)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
Snoop Dogg did, Nelly came down
Face Mobb, kept it ghetto for the H-town
Luda, moved digits after he moved bitches
Drake's up next, see what he'll do with it (uh-huh)
'Rule had a run, couple movie parts
T.I. literally wanted to shoot up the charts
Wadup Jeezy, what it do?
Y'all remind me of us in early '92 (uh-huh)
Outkast landed, 3-thou was ill
Like a male version of Lauryn Hill
Mobb Deep shook, it but Prodigy took it a lil' too far
Can't fuck with Brooklyn
Wu-Tang gangbang, Meth ate
Rae' took on the date with the Purple Tape
Passed on to Ason and then Ghostface
They had a hell of a run, standing ova', hey
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City, uh-huh, yeah)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
And I am one of one, can't you see just along my front?
My brain, new Lou sunshine, been a star since I was back in one time
One time give it up for him, December 4th, a star was born, clap for him
He went from moving that corner to this corner office is so enormous
Hey, Pres' Carter, watch him get a Monica on all day
Hey, got so many different monikers but only one Jay
They come, they go, some real, some foe
Some friends, some hoes, but, no, I goes nowhere, this Hov'
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
Every day a star is born (and you say, New York City, uh-huh, yeah)
Clap for 'em, clap for 'em, clap for 'em, hey
And could I be a star
Does fame in this game have to change who you are?
Could I be the same one who came from a far-away life?
Just to make it in these Broadway lights
Now, shining in the broad day light, go figure
A slow transition from a lil' broke nigga from the 'Ville
Got a deal, a real life saver
Dreams of being behind the wheel like Jada
I chill now, couple of lil' ice later
Cole, you got the glow like a lil' light saber
So clap for him then applaud Hov', he gave him a platform
Flow so sick, thought he wrote the rap for him, no, sir
The flow cold as a shoulder of a gold diggin' hoes
When a broke nigga approaches
Told you, I'm focused, man
I'll let you motherfuckers soak it in, clap for 'em (yeah, hey, and clap for 'em)
Every day, a star is born (and you say New York City!) (Yeah, hey, and clap for 'em!)
Clap for 'em! Clap for 'em (I'm here now, Fayettenam)
Clap for 'em! Clap for 'em, ayy (J. Cole)
Every day, a star is born
