"A New Star is Born"
Performed by Left Eye featuring Tangi Foreman.
Included on Left Eye's 2001 album, Supernova.


I believe that when someone passes away
Either a star is born
Energy so pure that it creates new worlds
Or as the soul releases
It shatters into pieces
Becoming free-flowing thoughts
For my mental thesis
Maybe we just don't understand
Spirits can still walk the land
Well, whatever the case
I believe we all remain
To share the same space


Verse One:
So Dad
I know you're listening
How you been?
Oh. I'm doin' fine
Just passin' time
Submerged in sin
Everytime I take a bath
I just get all dirty again
I'm tryna 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?
Well, since you laughin' then
I take it that good things are happening

Chorus (Tangi Foreman):
The day I learned you were gone
A new star was born
Distant voices filled my mind
Said to look up in the sky
And when I did, there you were

Verse Two:
I guess you already know this
I'm a big pop star
And my Pops is a star
No, you really are
And sometimes I feel like an anus
I kinda made you a little famous
Always spilling my guts
Explainin' to these people
They think I'm nuts

Told 'em how you and Moms leveled up
My excuse for bein' such a disrupt
Yeah, they sure did
They called you an abusive drunk
Sorry
Didn't realize the media would run wit' it
Now I know
Sometimes I try to have fun wit' it

Chorus

Verse Three:
What did you say?
You wish to be free?
Been here all this time because of me?
And on August 16th, 2001
Anything I wish to release, release?
I see

First of all, give you my thanks for preparing me
To be open and free
Gotta cleanse me mind, cleanse my soul
Release the cure and break the mold
Release my record, 20 million sold
Releasin' Pops, you free to go
Create a new galaxy
Yes, Dad
You'll still be right next to me

Chorus
