Million Star Motel Lyrics

[Hook: Nikki Jean]
God bless not-believers
They teach the dreamers how to fly
Love and hate fuel the fire inside their eyes

The suits and the schemers
Can't see beyond what they can sell

Diamond shine in the midnight sky
And the world is my million star motel

[Verse 4: Black Thought]
Checked into a room with a view
One brick wall, one portrait of you
Still feel like I was walking into
A place more blessed than the less fortunate do
But, it couldn't be more far from the truth
Spot look small, not far from the booth
And the basement not far from the roof
And the whole staff look way darker than blue
But, I'm not really wanting for too much
I could feel like a millionaire with a few bucks
Whether in black Chucks or a new tux
Some take note but never give two fucks
Whether Wu-Tang Clan or the Klu-Klux
Wonder how the world gon' handle the new stuff
Find true love, that's my new drug
Nikki Jean get the orchestra cued up
[Hook: Nikki Jean]
You might ask why I'm smiling
With empty pockets can't you tell
Diamond shine in the midnight sky
And the world is my million star motel
