Every nigger is a star
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"
We've got a bright place in the sun
Where there's love for everyone, and
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Who will deny that you and I
And every nigga is a star?
(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, every nigga's a star
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We've got a bright place in the sun
Where there's love for everyone, and
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star
Who will deny that you and I
And every nigga is a star?
(Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star
(Bright shining star) Yes, every nigga is a star
(Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star
(Bright shining star) Yes, every nigga is a star
(Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star
(Bright shining star)
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)

We've got a bright place in the sun
Where there's love for everyone, and
Every nigga is a star
Every nigga is a star

And every nigga is a star?
(Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star
(Bright shining star) Every nigga's a star
