[Intro: Usimamane]
Uhh wanna be a star
Mmmh mmmh mmmh

[Verse 1: Usimamane]
Back where I came from bekungelula (Uh)
Lang'suka khona, bes'nethwa yimvula (Uh)
I was a nobody
But, now I'm a somebody
IKati bel'lele eziko
But now I'm a nkanyezi (Uh)

[Chorus: Mo.Rena]
I, I just wanna be a star
Shining bright like a dime
Besides, life, you
I, I just wanna be a star
Shining bright like a dime
Besides, life, you, me

[Verse 2: Usimamane]
Mama's baby boy
I'm just a ghetto boy
Came deep down from the bottom, at the top is where I belong
And I'm barely home, I was tired of living poor
It was sticks and stones on me mama told me "Keep it going"
Wanna be a star (Be a star)
We gon' make it and it's written in the stars
Now a couple people prayin' that I fall
They don't wanna see a black man ball
[Bridge: Usimamane]
Gotta stay prayed up
Gotta get my pay up
Wanna put my mama on that whip, a Bentayga
I just wanna put all of my brothers, whole Bootayga
I don't give a fuck 'bout no hater, see you later
Let the young n***a ball

[Chorus: Mo.Rena]
I, I just wanna be a star
Shining bright like a dime
Besides, life, you
I, I just wanna be a star
Shining bright like a dime
Besides, life, you, me

[Post-Chorus: Usimamane, Mo.Rena]
Mama's baby boy
I'm just a ghetto boy
Came deep down from the bottom, at the top is where I belong
I was tired of living poor
It was sticks and stones on me mama told me "Keep it going"

[Outro: Mo.Rena]
