Man man, look up at the sky

All the stars man, the stars is beautiful tonight

Look at 'em

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are

Comin' from afar, reachin' 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

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 sellin' raps, name your theme

My rise to the top, floatin' on this cream

Who the hell wanna stop me, I hated those who doubt me

A million refugees with unlimited warranties

Black Cesar, dating top skeezers

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

Lettin' bygones be bygones, and so on, and so on

I'ma teach this cat, how to live in the ghetto

Keepin' it retrospective from the get go

Lay low, let my mind shine like a halo

P-p-politic with ghetto senators on the deelow

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are

Comin' from afar, reachin' 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 sea floor

The rich go North ignore, the tug of 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

Tryin' to find what's really goin' on in the streets

Now every dog got his day, needless to say

When the chief away that's when them cats want to 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 Pele, pick 'em doin' ballet

Peak like Dante, broader than Broadway

Get applause like a matador, cry yellin' ole

Who the hell wanna save me, from B.K., to Cali

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are

Comin' from afar, reachin' 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 yo, yeah

Just when you thought it was safe in a common place

Showcase your finest is losin' fast in the horse race

Two faced, gettin' defaced, out like Scarface

Throw your roll money, let me put on my screw face

Well I'm paranoid at the things I said

Wonderin' what's the penalty from day to day

I'm hangin' out partyin' with girls that never die

You see I was pickin' on the small fries, my campaign tellin' lies

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 understand

It's all together now, in the hood

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are

Comin' from afar, reachin' 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

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are

Comin' from afar, reachin' 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
