Ghetto Superstar (this Is What You Are) lyrics

featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard Mya

[ODB]
Man man look up at the
sky
All the stars man the stars is beautiful tonight
Look at
em!

Chorus: Mya

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

[Pras]
Uh yeah yo yo
Some got, hopes and dreams, we got, ways
and means
The surpreme 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 Ceasar, 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 retro-spective from the get go
Lay low, let my mind
shine like a halo
P-P-Politic with ghetto senators on the
deelow

Chorus

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
One two, and you don't stop,
yo
My eyes is sore, bein a senator
Behind closed doors hittin truth to the
seafloor
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

[Pras]
Yea, 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

Chorus

[Pras]
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 screwface

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
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
hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Chorus

[Pras]
Uh-huh
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Yeah
All Stars, yeah yeah
yeah

Chorus

[ODB]
Sing it baby, sing it babyeeeeeeeeee
To
another, aheoehahahahhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhh, heeeee,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
