Rick James

I wanted to be
On a stage with bright lights shinin' on me
At Carnegie
I polished up my act
knew the crowd can see I had a knack
And thats a fact
Glammer and fame
Was much more than a crazy game
I had to play
Now I got my wish
I don't know if I can handle this
But I think I'm gonna win
In the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
So I made it there
And an asian hand was my cadre
Star of the year
Following the steps
I'm the best in Broadway
East and West
I passed the test
It's all too much
With the interviews, reviews and such
I'm very touched
And I closed my mind
All the autographs I have to sign
When there's so little time
And I'm in the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
I was born to funk
I was born to funkin roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funkin roll in the big time
I was born to funk
I was born to funkin roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funkin roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funkin roll in the big time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself a fine time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself some fun
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself a fine time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself some fun
I was born to funk
I was born to funkin roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funkin roll in the big time
I wanted to be
On a stage with bright lights shinin' on me
At Carnegie
I polished up my act
knew the crowd can see I had a knack
And thats a fact
Glammer and fame
Was much more than a crazy game
I had to play
Now I got my wish
I don't know if I can handle this
But I think I'm gonna win
In the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
