Chorus:
|
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
|
And live large
|
A big house. Five cars, You're in charge.
|
Comin' up in the world.
|
Don't trust nobody got to look over your shoulder constantly
|
|
I remember the days when I was a young kid growing up
|
Looking in the mirror, dreaming about blowin' up
|
The rock crowds. Make money. Chill with the honeys.
|
Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me.
|
****** Its funny how impossible dreams manifest
|
And the games that be comin' with it
|
Nevertheless, you got to go for the gusto
|
But you don't know about the blood, sweat, and tears and
|
Losin' some of your peers.
|
|
And losin' some of yourself to the years past, gone by
|
Hopefully it don't manifest for the wrong guy
|
Egomaniac and the brainiac don't know how to act
|
****** deep
|
48 track studio gangsta mack sign the deal
|
Think 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 G's
|
|
You wanna be a rock superstar in the biz
|
And take **** 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 clout?
|
The route you took started collapsing
|
No fans. No fame. No respect. No change. No women and
|
Everybody ***** on your name.
|
|
Repeat Chorus (2X)
|
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
|
And live large
|
A big house. Five cars, You're in charge.
|
Comin' up in the world.
|
Don't trust nobody got to look over your shoulder constantly
|
|
Talking:
|
"People see rock stars, you know what I'm sayin'? But you still try to get out
|
more like everybody else, you know, its a fun job, but its still a job.[...] There's
|
gonna be another cat comin' out,
|
looking like me, sounding like me next year. I know this. It'll be a flipside
|
tell what you did someone trying to spin off like some[thing] serious."
|
|
You ever have big dreams? Or makin' big cream?
|
Big shot, heavy hitter on the mainstream
|
You wanna look trendy in the Bentley
|
Be a star band, never act friendly.
|
You wanna have big fame
|
Let me explain what happens to these stars and their big brains
|
First they get played like all damn day
|
Long as you sell everything will be ok
|
Then you get dissed by the media and fans
|
Things never stay the same way they began
|
I heard that some never get fooled to the fullest
|
That's why fools end up dining on a bullet
|
Think everything's fine in the big time
|
See me in my Lex with the chrome ray shine
|
So you wanna roll far and live large
|
It ain't all that goes with being a rock star
|
|
Repeat Chorus (2x)
|
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
|
And live large
|
A big house. Five cars, You're in charge.
|
Comin' up in the world.
|
Don't trust nobody got to look over your shoulder constantly
|
|
My own son don't know me
|
I'm chillin' in a hotel room, lonely
|
But I thank God I'm with my homies
|
But sometimes I wish I was back home
|
But only no radio or video's gonna show me no love
|
They're phony
|
Got to hit the road solely so the record gets pushed by Sony
|
I'm in the middle like Monie
|
And the press say that my own people disown me
|
The best way back to keep your head straight
|
Never inflate the cranium
|
They're too worried about them honeys at the Palladium
|
Who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on
|
Go on fall off - the ho's fall off
|
To the next rock 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 getting' ignored
|
I warned him
|
Asured him this ain't easy
|
Take it from the weazy
|
Sleazy people want to be so cheesy
|
They're ******* evil
|
|
Repeat Chorus (2x)
|
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
|
And live large
|
A big house. Five cars, You're in charge.
|
Comin' up in the world.
|
Don't trust nobody got to look over your shoulder constantly
