(Rap) Superstar

You know people just don't

People just don't see how much work

Is really involved in this rap sh*t

I didn't know it

I didn't see it

I never saw it until I was actually in it

You really gotta be in it

To understand what it's like

But you always gotta

People always gotta see you smile

You always gotta put on that fake

You know what I'm sayin'

Like no matter what you just been through

See it's gotta be right

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 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

To rock crowds make money chill wit' the honeys

Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me

Shits funny how impossible

Cream manifest in the games that be comin' with it

Never the less you gotta 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

Music has past gone by

Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy

Egomaniac in the brainiac don't know how to act

Shits deep 48 tracks studio gangsta mack

Sign a deal Emcees wanna make a mill

But never will till he crosses over still feelin' no hate

But fantasies come wit' these just to

Sacrifice the taste of makin' cheese

You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz

And take sh*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 to play

Trapped in what you rappin' about

Tell me what happened when you lost clout

The rout you took started collapsing

No fans no fame no respect

No change

No women and everybody shits on your name

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars the rent charged

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

To be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars the rent charged

Comin' up in the world

Don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

When you sign to a record label

You don't know you sign your life over

And these white boys don't care about you

'Cuz the minute you fall off

They'll find another Noreaga

And they'll find another Capone N-Noreaga

And they'll find another B-Real

So you need to just keep

Stack your chips up

Do what you gotta do while your hot

And motherf**kin' get out the game

Just do for the drug game is

Even worse because in a drug game

If somebody jerks you

You can shoot 'em and kill 'em

But in this game if somebody jerks you

You gotta be humble

No matter what you just been through

Sh*t has gotta be right

You gotta approach people

You gotta be on the up and up

And everything's gotta be all good

When you see somebody slap hands with 'em

You know what I'm sayin' give 'em a

Pound or whatever it is

But you always gotta act like it ain't sh*t

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars the rent charged

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

To be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars

The rent charged

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 a hotel room lonely

But I thank God I'm wit' my homies but sometimes

I wish I was back home but only no radio or videos

'Cause they show me no love

The phony gotta hit the road slowly

So the record gets pushed by Sony

I'm in the middle like monie and the press say that

My own people disowned me

And the best way back is to keep your head straight

Never inflate the cranium

Your crew worried about them honeys at the palladium

Who just wanna cling on swing on

And so on and go on and fall off

The hoes fall off to the next rap superstar

Wit' 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 Weezy

Sleazy people wanna be cheesy

They talkin' evil

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars

The rent charged

Comin' up in the world

Don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

Assassin

Assassin

To be a rap superstar and live large

A big house 5 cars

The rent charged

Comin' up in the world

Don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
