Master KG - Superstar Lyrics
Lyrics
My Poverty is Temporary
My Suffering is just a path for me
Only God knows my Destiny
Only He knows the right time for me
So don’t judge me now
Judge me later
Don’t Judge me now
Coz my Later will be Greater
My mother said
(Believe in yourself), believe in yourself
(Believe in yourself), believe in yourself
(Believe in yourself)
And u will see,
(You will be alright)
I am a Superstar
I am a Conqueror
I am a Shining Light
That's who I am
(That's who I am)
I am a Superstar
I am a Conqueror
I am a Shining Light
That's who I am
(That's who I am)

Meaning & Inspiration
Master KG's "Superstar," released as part of the widely acclaimed 2020 album *Jerusalema*, is a potent anthem of resilience and self-belief, resonating deeply with its universal message of hope in the face of hardship. The song’s narrative unfolds with a profound understanding of temporal suffering juxtaposed with an unshakeable faith in divine providence and future triumph. The opening verses acknowledge the transient nature of current struggles, stating, "My Poverty is Temporary / My Suffering is just a path for me," a sentiment echoed in scriptures like Romans 8:18, which declares, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." This acknowledgment of temporary hardship as a prelude to something greater aligns directly with the biblical understanding that trials can refine and strengthen faith, as James 1:2-4 teaches, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
The core of the song's encouragement lies in its powerful exhortation to "don’t judge me now / Judge me later / Coz my Later will be Greater." This is not mere bravado but a deeply held conviction that the present state is not the final destination. It speaks to the belief that God's plan for individuals will ultimately manifest in abundance and glory, reminiscent of the promises found in Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" The song’s maternal encouragement, "Believe in yourself... And you will see, you will be alright," serves as a potent reminder of the power of intrinsic worth and the divine spark within each person. This resonates with the biblical understanding that we are created in God's image, as Genesis 1:27 states, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." This inherent dignity fuels the self-assurance that propels the song’s protagonists forward.
The repeated declaration, "I am a Superstar / I am a Conqueror / I am a Shining Light," is more than a self-affirmation; it’s a declaration of one's inherent potential and God-given destiny. It calls to mind passages that describe believers as children of God and heirs to His promises, capable of overcoming obstacles through His strength. Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me," directly underpins this sense of empowered capability. The song further elevates this by specifically calling out Zozi (Zozibini Tunzi), a former Miss Universe, as a "Superstar," reinforcing the idea that outward success and recognition are manifestations of an inner spirit that believes in its own greatness, a greatness that finds its ultimate source and validation in God. This communal acknowledgment and celebration of individual triumphs further solidifies the song's message of upliftment and shared aspiration. Ultimately, "Superstar" is a testament to the enduring strength of faith, the certainty of a brighter future, and the inherent worth bestowed upon every soul, encouraging listeners to embrace their own potential and trust in the unfolding of God's perfect plan.
