Superstar

In the style of

Lupe Fiasco

feat.

Matthew Santos

Lyrics

if you are
what you say
you are
a superstar

then have no fear
the camera's here

and the microphones
and they wanna know
oh oh oh oh yeah

yeah uh
a fresh cool young lu'
try'na catch his
microphone check 2 1 2

wanna believe my own
hype but it's too untrue

the world brought
me to my knees
what have you brung you

did you improve on the design
did you do somethin' new

well your name ain't
on the guest list
who brung you, you

the more famous
person you come through

and the sexy lady
next to you
you come too

and then it hit me
standin' outside
of heaven

waitin' for god to
come and get me
i'm too uncouth

unschooled to the rules
and too gum shoe

too much of a new comer
and too un-cool

like shadow and lavelle
i battle with it well

though i need a holiday
like lady who sung blue

go back whatever
you did you undo
heavy as heaven
the devil on me
two ton's too

if you are what you
say you are
a superstar

then have no fear
the camera's here

and the microphones
and they wanna know
oh oh oh yeah

and you better
wear your shades
the spotlights here

can burn holes
through the stage

down through
the basement
pass the indian graves

where the dinosaurs laid
then out through china
nearly miss the airliners

magnified times five
'less it's pointed
at the rhymer

ricochets off the moon
and sets the forest ablaze

now that's important to say
'cause even with all that
most of us don't want it to fade

we want it to braid
meaning we want it to grow
meaning we want it to stay

like the governor called
and he told him to wait
un-strap him from the chair
and put him back in his cage

the audience ain't fazed
and they ain't gonna clap
and they ain't gonna praise

they want everything
back that they've paid
'cause they've been
waitin' since ten to see
the lights get dim

if you are
what you say
you are
a superstar

then have no fear
the crowd is here
and the lights are on
and they wanna show
oh oh oh yeah

so chauffeur chauffeur
come and take me away
'cause i've been standin'

in this line for like
five whole days

me and security
ain't gettin' along
and when i got
to the front

they told me all of the
tickets were gone

so just take me home
where the mood is mellow
and the roses are grown
m&m's are yellow

and the light bulbs around
my mirror don't flicker
everybody gets a nice
autograph picture

one for you and
one for your sister

who had to work tonight
but is an avid listener

every song's her favorite song
and mics don't feedback

all the reviewers say
you need to go and see that

and everybody claps
'cause everybody
is pleased

and then they all
take the stage
and start performin' for me

like ha ha
ha ha ha
ha ha
ha ha ha

if you are
what you say
you are
a superstar

then have no fear
the camera's here
and the microphones
and they wanna know
oh oh oh yeah

if you are
what you say
you are
then have
no fear
