Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are) - Pras Michel
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 uh
From one corner to another uh uh
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 Caesar dating top squeezers
Diplomatic legalese no time for a Visa
They just begun I'ma s***t 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
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 uh
From one corner to another uh uh
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 d**g 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
Yeah yo yo yo
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 come on
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 uh
From one corner to another uh uh
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 uh
From one corner to another uh uh
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 uh
From one corner to another uh uh
