It was all a dream, but i never knew I would be seen Eventually I might make the big screen We rarely had access to magazines But since a teen in Accra Ghana Hopes to be that young bloke Had a big stash of Tupac quotes Now Im older, witness the growth Fame keep spreading still Im broke Traveled the seas with the red gold green Now Im a black star caught in between Intergalactic star it seems Chris says knowledge reigns supreme But we were raised living the high-life Pilolo that was my life Hide and seek, playing football in the streets Tatale, kelewele and beans Painting portraits of our culture And the burdens on my shoulder Embraced it now Im older Moved to a climate thats colder Still Im, heating up I told ya And still going hard like a boner They slept on me like coma Now they cant see me glaucoma Travel, considered a roamer Considerably a loner The smell of my odour, is a beautiful aroma And Richy Pitch pitch up, let me get auto- Biographical, this is my life in flow tho

I'm a black star, shining bright from afar many miles from home, still, my heart is in Accra i'm a black star, shining bright far from afar in a world of my own, intergalactic star

Lets play a game of hide seek Lets find emotions buried deep Just last week, a song made me weep It reminded me I got promises to keep Before I sleep I got miles to walk I got to rep madina where I learnt this talk Its far from new york, but theres concrete blocks Uncompleted buildings where the weed heads talk Rawlings circle, estate, to the old road i.p.s., where the armed robbers law low new road, akosombo junction, and zongo, in the evening for strangers its a no-go Allah Akbar, the imam in the morning sound of the prayers before the crack of dawn and everyone was geeked if you had music that was foreign little did I know in the future I would be touring little did I know when I first heard Reggie Rockstone that less than a decade later, Id be penning mad poems but this is destiny, definitely passed on by my grandpa Sulley Muntari of vocabulary, Im a black star
