Big Time - Rick James

Wanted to be on a stage

Where bright lights shine

On me at Carnegie

Polished up my act

Knew the crowds would see I had the knack

And that’s a fact

Glamour and fame

Wasn’t 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

I’m in the Big Time, Big Time

And I know success is all mine, all mine

Big Time, Big Time

Gonna have the best of time

So now I’m there and an agent handles my career,

Star of the Year

Following the steps of the best

Of Broadway East and West,

I passed the test

It’s all too much

With the interviews, reviews and such

I’m very touched

And it blows my mind

All the autographs I have to sign

And there’s so little time

I’m in the Big Time, Big Time

And I know success is all mine, all mine

Big Time, Big Time

Gonna have the best of time

I was born to funk

I was born to funk and roll

In the Big Time
