[Intro: James Brown & Kanye West]
So now ladies and gentlemen, it is star time (Yeah, uh)
Are you ready for star time?

[Verse 1: Kanye West & James Brown]
Life of the rich and gorgeous
Everything is on the house like the mortgage
Up to my dad, I would've been aborted
Then it would've been a real n***a shortage (Star time!)
Man for real, where the wheels the n***a order?
Wifey took her Sprinter back because of Tracy Morgan
In my own home, I'm a tourist
Can't even unpack man, another flight that's boarding (Star time!)
Automatic toilet, just flush
Came on her titties like Morris, Chestnut

[Chorus: The-Dream, James Brown & Kanye West]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
Goddamn it
Now ladies and gentlemen it is star time, are you ready for star time?
Don't you play with ya!

[Verse 2: Young Moose]
I stayed ten toes down to the point that my feet hurt
I'm tired of being last, it's 'bout time I put me first
I was on the bench, I'm like, "Put me in, watch me work"
They charged me but I'm still unbothered like T-surf
They lost me, they was trying to ride the wave but we surf
He thinkin' about crossing me, that n***a gone need church
Now tell the coach put him on the bench 'cause he hurt
That corner, that's how he got put on that t-shirt
This a warning that you should think about before you creep first
I was on him like a quilt when he thought that the heat worked
We put his ass up, yeah, we sent him to rebirth
When I wake up before I smoke, I eat first
I made her eat me up 'til she told me I needs her
I'm the teacher in the class, I ain't sayin' I need work
Talkin' 'bout you smokin' gas, boy, you know that that weed dirt, rah!
[Chorus: The-Dream, James Brown & Kanye West]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
Goddamn it
Now ladies and gentlemen it is star time, are you ready for star time?
Don't you play with ya!

[Verse 3: Kanye West & James Brown]
Oh, you been, something I marked on your bitch
Born and borned in, you got to get (Ah)
N***a playin', we 'bout to get (Star time!)
Yeah, yeah, I walk here, got nothin', I'm born from fear, yeah
Yeah, I got a couple on me, yeah, pop sampling (Star time!)
Yeah, seen them all, nothin' different like a knew them all
Yeah, never do (Ah)
Hold on (Star time!)
If you know I'm gonna fall out
Tell me something they gotta know what they all about
And when I see you better, one of y'all out
See me and then I'm gonna find out what y'all about

[Chorus: The-Dream, Rick James & Kanye West]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it
And if you're out there in the crowd, then I really need you now
Goddamn it (Don't you play, no) (Don't you play with ya!)
