North Star

And I mean it
It was the longest of roads to achieve it
I was lost for 34 seasons
And y'all asking me "what's the reason?"
I needed more than just me to believe in
I needed love from a girl I could dream with
But in a world where your hurt can deceive ya
Didn't believe I deserved to receive it
That first evening my nerves were uneven
As I strolled to our meeting at Virtue
Till you emerged like a sunlight beam and
And I knew that I could never hurt you
But could you hurt me? I wasn't certain
But did it serve me to close the curtain
I had let fear do my steering and nursing
And it was clear that that gear was the worst one
So I shirked it, murked it, showed up in my nerd fit
Spider-man socks and Jurassic Park shirt (drip)
Hat cocked to back, yeah it wasn't perfect
Just knew I had to present the best version of
Me, you see, and yeah it was worth it
'Cause I found a person to travel the world with
Excursions on the water in Turks and
Caicos, sipping fine wine as the days go
By, god, even when we stay home
Re-watching Rugrats, building with Lego
Grinding your nerves while you're chatting with Hazel
Love we can be playful when the day's old
Same ole never feels wasteful when I'm
Chilling with my angel, so I'm ever grateful
Thankful you allow a man stay gold
And remain stable. You're my north star

North Star you're the force that I needed
To move forth on a course of meaning
I was lost for 34 seasons
And y'all asking me "what's the reason?"
I needed more than just me to believe in
And when it's we I can see what they mean when
They say dreaming can be easy
When you find one to be free with
Now I'm cheesing, 'cause I see you
And you see me, and we're beaming
'Cause it's our day, it's our evening
To show people our beginning
I found peace with my queen and
Now my mom she can sleep easy
'Cause for so long I was broken
But now I know where my home is

I never had no thoughts on the future
'Till you came around, woke me up like a rooster
Opened me to an idea I wasn't used ta
That I could be part of a union, who thought
I would be able to cohabitate (who thought)
I would be cleaning up on Saturdays (who thought)
I would be contemplating baby names (who thought)
My best friend would be a Taylor fan
I used to lay down to sleep in excitement and haste
'Cause my dreams were a place where my mind could create
And design an escape anytime I was faced with the
Idea that my alive was a waste but that
Died on the day we met on displays
We chatted away about different tastes
We talked about faves; you said it was Drake!?
I gave you the grace, now we're headed to Bali it's
Obvi we're just starting, this is the party
But I wonder how our story will be recorded
As he approached 40, they had a daughter
Departed apartments for better lodging
Bought 'em a house somewhere out in Northern
VA where the costs can be alarming
Got em' a big doggy, his name is Mordy
Known for his surprises in the garden
She went to head marketing at Procter he
Gambled and left corporate to be an artist
And Gracie she's like mommy, no nonsense
Proud to announce autumn she'll be at Harvard
Scouted a top prospect for the volley-
Ball I'm just spit-balling maybe, but
You saved me. And you changed me
So what say we. Let's make a baby (North Star)

North Star you're the force that I needed
To move forth on a course of meaning
I was lost for 34 seasons
And y'all asking me "what's the reason?"
I needed more than just me to believe in
And when it's we I can see what they mean when
They say dreaming can be easy
When you find one to be free with
Now I'm cheesing, 'cause I see you
And you see me, my Sweetle
It's our day, it's our evening
To show people our beginning
I found peace with my queen and
Now my mom she can sleep easy
'Cause for so long I was broken
But now I know where my home is
