Superstar

Paint a picture for 'em
Uh
All these years I've been confused and I've been steady doubting
If mine could ever be the words that everybody's shouting
What if my dreams are way too big and be needing some grounding
But could I ever rest if I never conquer the mountain

I've finally realised it's bigger than me (Bigger than me)
It's bigger than you (Bigger than you)
It's bigger than all the things that you think you been through (Oh)
The hype to win is greater than you fearing to lose
The words of Bobby Kiyosaki got me lacing my shoes (Yeah)
Uh
I'm on a plane to Zimbabwe to where my mama stays
I'm sitting next to a lady her name is Angie Graves
She lost her job now she making money in different ways
Using her potential so death to her secretary days (Yeah)

Unrealised potential round me just going to waste (Yeah)
You bury talents like you not in first or second place (Oh)
Imagine if the lightning Bolt just never ran a race
And what if a ballet dancer just never moved with grace

Running back when I could've been moving forward
Sitting down when I should've been shooting for it
Oh, but now I know
I'm a superstar (A superstar)
A superstar (A superstar)
Armed and dangerous
I'm ready to make it

Uh
Sharing all of my lessons with you, I like to give
And maybe you can learn a bit from how I like to live
Life is something we've got to accept for what it is
Imperfectly perfect, focus staying sharp as a shiv

Now look at what I'm doing writing me a double verse
So when I'm done I'm gon' be needing me a double hearse
A blessing and a curse sometimes it makes me sound conceited
But if you hating you can just go Michael Jackson, Beat It

Cause I'm a Thriller, point me to someone realer
If music is the drug that you needing, then I'm the dealer
We lost our Zimba legend now we wonder who's next
Rest In Peace Mtukudzi, you know I'll clean up the mess

I've always wondered what it's like to be a superstar
To be rich and be driving round in exclusive cars
Maybe kick it with Drake and light up a few cigars
Man I'm always grateful God graced me with some exclusive bars

Running back when I could've been moving forward
Sitting down when I should've been shooting for it
Oh, but now I know
I'm a superstar (A superstar)
A superstar (A superstar)
Armed and dangerous
I'm ready to make it

In a world full of souls
Who abandon their goals
For fearing to lose
I will beat it
I can see it
God help my soul

I know a boy who's been battered and bruised by academics
I watch him cry as his will is broken to please his parents
And now he sees a psychiatrist with pills and appointments
So that he never has to hear them call him disappointment

How many of us do not do what we want
Because of fear of being poor and the desire to stunt
Having money's not everything but I promise you cuz
That I am following the music and I'll make it because

I'm ready to make it
I'm ready to fly
Already spreading out my wings
So I'll be gracing the sky

Uh
I'm ready to leap
I'm done being shy
I am not afraid and I know why

I'm a superstar (A superstar)
A superstar (A superstar)
Armed and dangerous
I'm ready to make it

Uh
I'm ready to love
I'm ready to cry
I'm done with jealousy
Letting go of my coveting eye

Uh
I'm ready to pray
I'm ready to climb
Ready to put all that depression aside

I'm a superstar (A superstar)
A superstar (A superstar)
Armed and dangerous
I'm ready to make it

Running back when I could've been moving forward
Sitting down when I should've been shooting for it
Oh, but now I know
I'm a superstar (A superstar)
A superstar (A superstar)
Armed and dangerous
I'm ready to make it

You have made it
I promise you
