Everyone trying to be somebody
Everybody trying to be someone
Trying to be at the A list party
But most times on the sidelines waving
Look at me look at me
Here I am
Here I am here I am
Can't you see me
Hey

Sell your mother for a breakthrough
And your father if you had to
Living the dream
Chasing the rainbow

Everybody wants to be a starlight
Shining in the darkest hall
Everybody wants to be a starlight
Shining in the darkest hall
Everyone needs something to believe in
Domination is the backup plan
First thing is to get more notice
Less talk and a lot more action
Look at me look at me
Here I go
Here I go here I go
Can't you see me
Hey
Sell your mother for a breakthrough
And your father if you had to
Living the dream
Chasing the rainbow

Everybody wants to be a starlight
Shining in the darkest hall
Everybody wants to be a starlight
Shining in the darkest hall

Even if you see an outside chance
You gotta grab it and big up yourself
A little skinny kid
With shining bright eyes
Yea

Don't give a reason to get yourself knocked back
You got a personality
Use that
No better place to start than
Right here
Right now
Yea

Even if you see an outside chance
You gotta grab it and big up yourself
A little skinny kid with shining bright eyes
Yea

Don't give a reason to get yourself knocked back
You've got a personality
Use that
No better place to start than right here
Right now
Yea
