[Verse 1]
Can I tell ya'll a story
About my history
I'm sure a lot ya'll can relate to me
You see I'm from the ghetto
A place where me and my brother shared
The hardwood floor when the winter was cold
I'm talkin about the ghetto
said the ghet the ghet the ghet
I'm not going to stay here no
I got plans to get out of fear
I see my name, big lights
Oh Lord I wanna take some of that good life
I wanna be

[Chorus]
I want to be
A superstar, go get them
Superstar,oh I wanna be yeah
I've got be dreams
Of being a, superstar go get them
Superstar (a ghetto super star)
That is all I wanna be

[Verse 2]
What you know about that hard knock life?
What you know about that ware fare life?
Scrape for dinner and government cheese
Praying for the Lord
Lord you bless me
Oh, and get grandmama out
Try to buy every Foot Locker out
Living ghetto fabulous no doubt
You know what I'm talking about
I wanna be...

[Chorus]
Rolling out slamming cadillac doors
Holding down every homie I know
Never ever ever will I be broke
I wanna be I wanna be a ghetto superstar
Rolling out slamming cadillac doors
Never ever ever will I be broke
Holding down every homie I know
I wanna be I wanna be a ghetto superstar

[Talking]
And if some of ya'll went through what I went through
You know I just want ya'll to bob ya'll head
Cause you know every one didn't come from great homes

[Chorus]

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
