Man, man, look 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

Some got hopes and dreams, we got ways and mean
The supreme dream team always up with the scheme
From hub caps 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 Ceaser, datin' top divas
Diplomatic legalese, no time for a visa

I 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' bygone be bygone and so on and so on

I'm a 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
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

My eyes is sore, bein' the senator
Behind closed doors hittin' truths to the sea floor
The rich don't know, ignore, this 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 everythin' change the law
I find myself, walkin' the streets
Tryin' to find what's really goin' on in these streets

Now every dog got his day, needless to say
When the chief away, that's when them cats wanna play
I told you, messin' around you fools like Cassius Clay
Stretch my heater make you do a pass de bourree

Kick your balls like Pele, pick 'em doin' ballet
Peak like Dante, broader than Broadway
Get applaud like a madator, cry yellin' ole
Who the hell wanna see 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

Just when you thought it was safe in a common place
Showcase your finest is losin' fast in the horse race
Two face, gettin' defaced out, like Scarface
Throw your roll money let me put on my screw face

And I'm paranoid at the things I said
Wonderin' what's the penalty from day to day
I'm hangin' out, partying with girls that never die
See I was pickin' 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
Let'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

All stars

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
