Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)
Pras Michel featuring Ol` Dirty Bastard & Mya
Album: Bulworth (The Soundtrack)
[Ol` Dirty Bastard]
Man, man look up at the sky
All the stars man, the stars look 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 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 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-Politic with ghetto senators on the deelow
Chorus
[Ol` Dirty Bastard]
One two, and you don`t stop, yo
My eyes are 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 with 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 understood
It`s all together now, in the hooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Chorus
[Pras]
Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Yeah
All stars, yeah yeah yeah
Chorus
[Ol` Dirty Bastard]
Sing it baby, sing it babyeeeeeeeeeeeeee
To another, aheoehahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhh, heeee, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
