This right here, my star, I want my star to represent the light, the love that shines on everybody. God put me on this earth to be a light. The room can be pitch dark, and when I walk in it's bright. When it's dark I'm the light, so I want everybody to take this starlight and know that this is forever and this is for all of us. But I wanna make it clear, we just getting started."
