Ghetto Supastar (that Is What You Are) Lyrics - Ol' Dirty Bastard

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
