Man, man, look at the sky
All the stars, man
The stars is beautiful tonight
Look at 'em
Ghetto superstar (superstar), that is what you are (that is what you are)
Coming from afar (coming from afar)
Reaching for the stars (reaching from the stars)
Run-away with me, to another place (get on up)
We can rely on each other, uh-huh (yeah)
From one corner to another, uh-huh
Uh, yeah, yo, yo
Some got hopes and dreams, we got ways and means
The supreme dream-team, always up with the schemes
From hubcaps to selling raps, name your theme
My rise-to-the-top floatin' on this cream
Who the hell wanna stop me? I hated those who doubted me
A million ReFugees with unlimited warranties
Black Caesar, datin' top divas
Diplomatic legalese, no time for a Visa
They just begun, I'ma shoot them one-by-one
Got five sides to me, somethin' like a pentagon
Strike with the forces of King Solomon
Letting bygones be bygones, and so-on and so-on
I'ma teach these cats how to live in the ghetto
Keepin' it retrospective from the get-go
Lay-low, let my mind shine, like a halo
Politic with ghetto senators on the d-low
Ghetto superstar, that is what you are
Coming from afar (uh-huh)
Reaching for the stars
Run-away with me, to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner to another, uh-huh
One, two, and you don't stop, yo
My eyes is sore, bein' a senator behind closed doors
Hittin' truth to the seafloor
The rich go north, ignore the tug-o'-war
While the kids are poor, open new and better drug stores
So I became hardcore, couldn't take it no more
I'ma reveal everything, change the law
I find myself walkin' the streets
Trynna' find what's really goin'-on in the streets
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
Now, every dog got his day, needless to say
When the chief away, that's when them cats wanna play
I told you: Mess-around, you fools like Cassius Clay
Stretch my heater, make you do a pas de bourree
Kick your balls like Pelé, pick 'em doing ballet
Peak like Dante, broader than Broadway
Get applause like a matador
Cry, yelling: Ole!
Who the hell wanna save me?, From B.K. To Cali
Ghetto superstar (come on, uh), that is what you are
Coming from afar
Reaching for the stars
Run-away with me to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner to another, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just when you thought it was safe in the commonplace
Showcase Your Finest is losing fast in the horse race
Two-faced getting defaced-out, like Scarface
Slow your roll, money, let me put on my screwface
Well, I'm paranoid at the things I say
Wondering what's the penalty, from day-to-day
I'm hangin' out, partying with girls that never die
You see, I was picking on the small fries, my campaign tellin' lies
I was just spreadin' my love, didn't know my love—
Was the one holdin' the gun and the glove
But it's all good, as long as it's understood
It's all together now, in the hood
Ghetto superstar, that is what you are
Coming from afar
Reaching for the stars
Run-away with me, to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
From one corner to another, uh-huh (yeah)
(All-stars)
Ghetto superstar, that is what you are
Coming from afar
Reaching for the stars
Run-away with me (sing it, baby), to another place (sing it, baby)
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner to another, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, yeah)
(Ooh, ahh)
