Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are) Songtext
von Pras feat. Ol’ Dirty Bastard & Mýa

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 (Uh, yeah, yo, yo)

Some got hopes and dreams, we got ways and mean
The supreme dream team always up with the scheme
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 Caesar, datin′ top divas
Diplomatic legalsee, no time for a visa
It 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

One, two, and you don't stop, yo!
My eyes is sore, bein' the senator
Behind closed doors hittin′ truths to the seafloor
The rich go North, ignore this tug of war
While the kids are poor, open and 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
Tryna 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 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 doin' ballet
Peak like Dante, broader than Broadway
Get applause like a matador, 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 (Yeah, yeah, 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 screwface

And I′m paranoid at the things I say
Wonderin' what′s the penalty from day to day
I'm hangin' out, partying with girls that never die
You 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
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
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
