LUPE FIASCO lyrics : "Superstar"

(ft. Matthew Santos)

[normal Chorus:]

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



[Verse 1:]

Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2

Want to 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 something 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
Standing outside of heaven waiting for God to come and get me

I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And too gum shoe

Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle

I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung blue
Go back what ever you did you undo

Heavy is heaven
The devil on me two tonnes too


[normal Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the ba!@&(t

Past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
And out through China

Nearly misses air liners
Magnified times five
This is pointed at the rhymer

Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say
Cuz even with all of 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 they 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 gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they paid
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim


(chorus)


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 want a show
oh oh oh oh yeah


[Verse 3:]
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days

Me and security ain't getting 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 a favorite song

And mics don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

[normal chorus)
If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear

The camera's is here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh yeah
If you are what you say you are
Then have no fear
