I'm not sure anymore Just how it happened before The places that I knew Were sunny and blue I can feel it deep inside This black nigga's pride I have no fear when I say And I say it every day: Every nigga is a star Every nigga is a star Who will deny that you and I and every nigga is a star? I have walked the streets alone Twenty years I've been on my own To be hated and despised (Poor nigga) No one to sympathize (Poor nigga) But there's one great thing I know You can say, "I told you so" They've got a right place in the sun Where there's love for everyone, and (Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star (Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star (Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star Every nigga's a star (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) They've got a right place in the sun Where there's love for everyone, and (Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star (Bright shining star) Yes, every nigga is a star
