Superstar (2006) lyrics

[Teacher] Quiet, quiet in the classroom please Alright settle down now everyone Will everyone please shut up We’ve got a new girl here [Verse 1] Welcome, new girl, introduce yourself dear You look different you must not be from here My name's Kima, some say I’m a dreamer I’m outspoken, not a people pleaser Just a kid but I look confident But look beyond what I’m projecting I’m desperate for acceptance But that’s too deep, so Back on track now, I’m first generation Don’t have much which means I get creative Teachers hate me cos I don’t pay attention Talk in class still graduate with A’s and Hike my skirt up when I leave the house Can I tell you all a secret? Come closer and listen There’s is something [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows, nobody I’ll show them, I’ll show them baby, yeah, yeah Nobody knows, nobody I’ll show them, I’ll show them, you see [Chorus] I’m a sta-a-ar, uh A major supersta-a-ar, uh Don’t tell me to to quit, the sauce is in my nature It’s 2006, Young Money’s on my radar And I’m a sta-a-ar [Verse 2] Someone come and take me out this classroom I heard all the superstars are homeschooled I’m a star, I should be up on stages Why does nobody know that I’m famous? Don’t you get it? Why you so confused? Can’t you see I’m going places Someone call an agent Why is it that [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows, nobody I’ll show them I’ll show them baby, yeah, yeah Nobody knows, nobody I’ll show them I’ll show them, baby [Chorus] I’m a sta-a-ar, uh A major supersta-a-ar, uh Don’t tell me to to quit, the sauce is in my nature It’s 2006, Young Money’s on my radar And I’m a sta-a-ar [Bridge] Been delusional since birth Or do I just know my worth? I’m the only one who sees What’s inside of me, I’m In The Valleys for today Then it’s London to LA It’s the place I’m meant to be Cos I’m certain [Chorus] I’m a sta-a-ar, uh A major supersta-a-ar, uh Don’t tell me to to quit, the sauce is in my nature It’s 2006, Young Money’s on my radar And I’m a sta-a-ar
