Story behind the song
A young kid is up to no good, hanging round the streets and is getting in trouble. After some words of encouragement from both parents, he leaves the local neighbourhood returning years later a rockstar and the son of two proud parents!
Lyrics
My mama told me don’t you be hangin’ around on the streets,
You’ll get yourself in trouble, One thing leads to another,
You’ll wind up like em all, dead meat,
Your bringin’ down our name,
I’m feelin’ kinda shamed,
People they’re startin’ to talk,
I’m getting funny looks, from different neighbourhoods,
These Stories, they’re startin’ to walk.
I took it all in way back then,
Rolled up my sleeves and got stuck in
Reached for the stars, again and again
Waited for the day until I’d be rockstarin’, rockstarin’
My papa he told me son you’re running out of time,
The nights are getting darker, the light is drifting further,
Aint happenin’ to a son of mine.
Listen to your mother, forget about the others,
There’s people you will have to lose,
The sky is the limit, don’t stop ‘til you reach it,
The rest of it is up to you.
I took it all in way back then,
Rolled up my sleeves and got stuck in
Reached for the stars, again and again
Waited for the day until I’d be rockstarin’, rockstarin’
Tonight I’m gonna be a rockstar, a rockstar, a rockstarin’
Tonight I’m gonna be a rockstar, a rockstar, a rockstarin’
Mama can you hear me, I’m singin’ loud and clearly,
These people they are singin’ my song,
Everything you told me, and every little story,
I packaged it and brought it along,
Oh Papa can you see me, these lights are bright and dreamy,
You thought that I had vanished and gone,
Never say never, I’ll be singing here forever,
Tonight a new rockstar has been born.
I took it all in way back then,
Rolled up my sleeves and got stuck in
Reached for the stars, again and again
Waited for the day until I’d be rockstarin’, rockstarin’
