A Star in the Ghetto |
| Broadway, you never shine a light on me |
| I may never live to see my name in lights on a Carnegie Hall marquee |
| Oh, but that’s alright; |
| Lord, that’s alright with me |
| I’m as happy, happy as a man can be |
| Folks in New York may never know my name |
| I may not win that music Hall of Fame. |
| (Music Hall of Fame) |
| Gonna keep on singing my song just the same |
| If I don’t make it there, I won’t be ashamed |
| 'Cause I’m a star in the ghetto (I'm a star in the ghetto) |
| If I never make Broadway, that’ll be OK (Keep on shining) |
| I don’t care what the folks up there in New York… |
| (I'm a star in the ghetto)…got to say, oh no (Oh no) |
| Hollywood, (Hollywood) Hollywood will never be my style |
| But I know I’m good, oh yeah, not just alright |
| City lights, city lights (city lights) may never shine for me |
| I may never make it to the top, no, win myself a Grammy |
| Folks in New York may never know my name |
| I may not win that music Hall of Fame (Music Hall of Fame) |
| But I’m gonna keep on singing my song, whew baby, just the same |
| If I never make it there I won’t feel ashamed |
| 'Cause I’m a star in the ghetto (I'm a star in the ghetto) |
| If I never make Broadway, sugar, that’ll be OK (Keep on shining) |
| I don’t care what the folks up there in New York… |
| (I'm a star in the ghetto)…what they got to say, oh no (Oh no) |
| Think I’m gonna make it funky |
| Feel like getting down, y’all |
| Think I wanna make it funky |
| Feel like getting down, yeah |
| Blow your horn |
| Yeah, it’s alright |
| Well, go blow your horn |
| They say it’s alright |
| Feel the music |
| Feel the music |
| I’m a star in the ghetto (I'm a star in the ghetto) |
| If I never make Broadway, that’ll be OK (Keep on shining) |
| I don’t care what the folks up there in New York… |
| (I'm a star in the ghetto)…I don’t care what they got to say Aww nah |
| I’m a star in the ghetto (I'm a star in the ghetto) |
| If I never make Broadway, sugar, that’ll be OK (Keep on shining) |
| I don’t care what the folks in Hollywood got to say |
| (I'm a star in the ghetto) I don’t care anyway, aww no |
| I’m star (I'm a star in the ghetto) and I’m shining, and I’m shining |
| I’m a star (I'm a star in the ghetto) Yes, I am, yeah, yeah |
| (Keep on shining) I’m a star in the ghetto |
| If I never make Broadway, that’ll be OK |
| If I never make it to Broadway… |
| (Keep on shining, keep on shining)…said that will be OK |
| People in New York City, ah, they don’t bother me… |
| (Keep on shining, keep on shining)…not at all, not at all |
| I’m gonna make it the top (Keep on shining, keep on shining) |
| Among the distant stars, alright (Keep on shining, keep on shining) |
| Sugar, it’s alright |
| I’m a star in the ghetto (Keep on shining, keep on shining) |
| I’m a star in the ghetto |
