Ghetto Superstar
The Baseballs Lyrics

Can I tell ya'll a story
May I share with you all an autobiographical tale

About my history
Regarding my past experiences

I'm sure a lot ya'll can relate to me
I believe many of you can identify with my story

You see I'm from the ghetto
I hail from a rough, impoverished neighborhood

A place where me and my brother shared The hardwood floor when the winter was cold
An abode where my sibling and I had to sleep on the wooden surface during harsh winter months

I'm talkin about the ghetto, said the ghet the ghet the ghet
I am specifically referring to a community plagued by poverty, violence, and limited resources

I'm not going to stay here no
I have no intentions of remaining in this unfavorable environment

I got plans to get out of here
I have established a strategy to escape this situation

I see my name, big lights
I envision my name in bright, bold letters on a prominent public display

Oh Lord I want to take some of that good life
I long to partake in the comforts and luxuries enjoyed by more affluent individuals

I want to be
I aspire to achieve greatness

I want to be A superstar, go get them Superstar,oh I want to be yeah
I yearn to become a highly successful and celebrated figure

I've got be dreams Of being a, superstar go get them Superstar (a ghetto super star) That is all I want to be
I possess a strong desire to transform into a renowned and respected personality who also represents their roots and community

What you know about that hard knock life?
Are you familiar with the difficult and trying circumstances I have faced?

What you know about that ware fare life?
Do you have any comprehension of a life reliant on government support?

Scrape for dinner and government cheese
Surviving on scanty meals and basic, subsidized food products

Praying for the Lord Lord you bless me
Requesting divine intervention and aid in one's struggles

Oh, and get grandmama out
And to also free one's grandmother from the same unfortunate circumstances

Try to buy every Foot Locker out
An attempt to acquire items from the popular shoe retail store

Living ghetto fabulous no doubt
Living a flamboyant and stylish lifestyle despite limited means

You know what I'm talking about
You can comprehend the challenges and desires I am expressing

Rolling out slamming cadillac doors
Exiting a high-end vehicle with force and flair

Holding down every homie I know
Supporting and representing one's friends and acquaintances

Never ever ever will I be broke
I vow to never fall back into a state of poverty and financial instability

I want to be I want to be a ghetto superstar
I still wish to ascend to a position of fame and admiration while remaining true to my underprivileged background

And if some of ya'll went through what i went through You know I just want ya'll to bob ya'll head Cause you know every one didn't come from great homes
For those who can connect to my story, I invite you to nod your head in agreement, as we acknowledge that not everyone had the same privileges growing up.
