Rick James - Big Time lyrics

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
