(rap) superstar

So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

I remember the days when I was a young kid, growin? up
Lookin? in the mirror, dreamin? about blowin? up.

The rock crowd, make money
True with the honeys
Sign autographs or whatever the people want from me
S***? s funny.

How impossible dreams manifest
And the games that be comin? with it, nevertheless.

You gotta go for the gusto
But you don? t know.

About the blood sweat and tears
And losin? some of your fears.

And losin? some of yourself to the years past, gone by
Hopefully it don? t manifest for the wrong guy.

Egomaniac in the brainiac
Don? t know how to act
S***? s deep, 48 tracks
Studio gangsta max.

Signed the deal thinks he? s gonna make a mil
But never will? til he crosses over, still.

Fillin? your head with fantasies
Come with me
Show the sacrifice it takes to make the Gs.

So you wanna be a rap superstar, in the biz
And take s***t from people who don? t know what it is.

I wish it was all fun and games
But the price of fame is high and some can? t pay the way.

Feel trapped in what you rappin? about
Tell me what happened when you lost cloud.

What route you took started collapsin?.

No fans, no fame
No respect, no change,
No women and everybody s***ts on your name.

So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

My own son don? t know me
I? m chillin? in the hotel room lonely
But I thank God I? m with my holmies
But sometimes I wish I was back home
But only no radio or video? s gonna show me
No love, they? re phony
Gotta hit the road solely
So the record gets pushed by Sony
I? m in the middle like mony
And the press say that
My own people disown me
And the best way back.

Is to keep your head straight, never inflate the cranium
You? re too worried about them honeys at the Peladium.

Who just wanna cling on, swing on
And so forth, go on, fall off, the whole foot long.

To the next rap superstar, with no shame
Give him a year and they? ll be right out the game.

The same as the last one who came before him
Gained fame started gettin? ignored, I warned him
Assured him.

This ain? t easy
Take it from Wheezy
Sleazy people wanna be so cheesy
They? re f***n evil.

So you wanna be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rap superstar
And live large
Your big house, five cars
You? re in charge
Comin? up in the world don? t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
