See, I've had my share of ups and downs
Been picked up and kicked back down
I've had my share of abusive partners
Then I fell pregnant at 17
A single parent with broken dreams
An education that barely mattered

In a house full of sisters and brothers
My nan and my dad and my mother
Me and my daughter will survive
Then my father was down with an illness
And my sister was down with an illness
Is there a God up in the sky?

All I ever wanted was to be a superstar
Sometimes I look, I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it
They always said I would never amount to no good

But if I can do it, you can do it
Just follow your heart
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar

My father said he was dying
No man could ask how long, who knows?
Said I feel in to depression
I turned to violence but it weren't right
Mamma said, 'It don't stop things to fight'
Need to be strong now for your daughter

All I ever wanted was to be a superstar
Sometimes I look, I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it
They always said I would never amount to no good

But if I can do it, you can do it
Just follow your heart
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar

For all the tears I've cried, I built on my pride
It took the same to make me stronger
See, never have I given in, I let out the fighter within
Now I see, believing in me was all I need

All I ever wanted was to be a superstar
Sometimes I look, I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it
They always said I would never amount to no good

But if I can do it, you can do it
Just follow your heart
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar

All I ever wanted was to be a superstar
Sometimes I look, I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it
They always said I would never amount to no good

But if I can do it, you can do it
Just follow your heart
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar
