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
